“…Second, as contrary to the self‐selection effect documented for the case of developed countries like Italy (Castellani et al 2010), and Germany (Vogel and Wagner 2010), the result from this study is consistent with the idea that the learning‐by‐importing effect may be stronger. The learning‐by‐importing effect has been also documented for such developing countries as China (Elliott et al 2016), and Ecuador (Fernández and Gavilanes 2017). All these findings point to new trade theoretical challenges.…”

“…On the other hand, innovation can be carried out using introduced technology to quickly catch up to current technology (Awate et al, 2015; Yu et al, 2019). However, it has also been confirmed that developing countries cannot apply the advanced technology from developed countries sophisticatedly due to the lack of knowledge base and poor absorbing capacity (Fernández & Gavilanes, 2017). Therefore, dedicating to importing external knowledge and technology may also have a negative effect on local innovation capacity (Laursen & Salter, 2006), that is, the reliance on technology introduction may lead to the unbalance of innovation mechanism and the vicious circle of “import‐backward‐reimport” (Yu et al, 2019).…”

“…This is not just a matter for policymakers. Fernández and Gavilanes (2017) emphasise the active role that importers (in all forms) need to play in investing in learning to absorb and shape technologies and capabilities. This includes the need for service providers to talk with local community governments to combine service level standards and social standards to enable the democratization of technology choices and enhance job generation.…”
