Impact of R&D and Technology Diffusion on Productivity Growth: Empirical Evidence for 10 OECD Countries

Abstract: This paper examines the empirical evidence on the impact of performed R&D and of R&D embodied in intermediate and capital goods on productivity performance in 10 major OECD countries over the last two decades. To quantify intersectoral and international technology flows, industry-level embodied R&D variables were constructed from an input-output (IO) R&D embodiment model. The productivity variables used are discrete Divisia growth indexes of total factor productivity (TFP), which were estimated from an IO grow… Show more

“…In other unrelated studies investigating the productivity impact of R&D and diffusion-based R&D, estimates of these ranges have been obtained. In particular, Mohnen (1994) proposes an average estimate of the excess of the social rate over the private rate of approximately 50% -100% whilst Sakurai et al (1997) Evidence of this effect is provided in a study by Haskel and Szymanski (1993).…”

“…Hence, in methodological terms, we follow the tradition introduced by Scherer (1982); Papaconstantinou, Sakurai and Wyckoff (1998); Wolff (1997); Van Meijl (1997) ;Sakurai, Papaconstantinou and Ioannidis (1997); Vuori (1997); Verspagen (1997), and, especially, Hauknes and Knell (2009), whose work combines inputoutput matrices and r&d data, allowing us to measure product-embodied r&d diffusion from domestic and foreign sources.…”
