Towards optimal testing of an hypothesis based on dynamic technology transfer model

Technological endowments in entrepreneurial partnerships

“…We model the content of the agreement as a technology diffusion process between the two firms. Jayaraman et al (2004) state that a distinguishing feature of a general technology transfer process is that the rate of diffusion in a particular location at time t is proportional to the present level of diffusion and the level of diffusion to be achieved. 5 Similarly, the rate of assimilation of a technology (in an industry) turns out to be proportional to the existing level of technology and that to be achieved.…”

“…To study the evolution of a general technological assimilation process, the authors select the logistic function as the most suitable functional form. As the aim of a pre-competitive agreement is to improve the partners' technologies, we follow Jayaraman et al (2004) and also adopt the logistic function. This choice allows us to interpret the dynamics of an agreement as the effort put by the firms (across time) in accomplishing the objective of the contract.…”

Evaluation of technology transfer strategy of petrochemical process

“…Yang and Maskus (2008) argue developed country's power reflects the uniqueness of its technology. Jayaraman et al (2004) mentioned, during technology transfer, the rate of technology assimilation of the recipient country is dependent on the technology gap between the source country and the recipient country. It also dependent on the recipient country's relative position with the source country and its existing assimilation rate due to indigenous development efforts.…”

Recent development in econometric analysis of model selection

“…Moreover, some of the technology diffusion studies conducted by Sharif and Haq (1980), Blackman et al (1973), Fisher and Pry (1971), Mansfield (1961) and TT-processes by Stock and Tatikonda (2000), Lin and Berg (2001) and an update review of research and theory on TT by Bozeman (2000) and Jayaraman et al (2002) and further references therein can provide other examples in the area of technology transfer modeling.…”

“…For example, Gerald (2000) applied simple manufacturing model in business and manufacturing industry, Kim's (1999) endogenous growth model was based on operations management and economic growth, Gupta (1998) developed a dynamic technology transfer model, Seron (1996) proposed a network model for information system and technologies, Lulu et al's (1996) proposed decision based model, Kumar's (1995) discussed partner selection criterion models and among others are Wong's (1995) descriptive validation model, Marjit's (1994) general equilibrium model for least developing countries (LDC's), Padmanabhan et al's (1994) Brownian motion model, Seaton et al's (1993) interactive models of industrial technological transfer, Wang et al's (1992) simple model for foreign investment and Technology Transfer (TT), Myllyntau's (1990) Finish model of TT, Madu's (1988) economic model, Succar's (1987) endogenous technological assimilation model for LDC's and Miyagiwa's (1988) Richardo-Viner trade model. Moreover, some of the technology diffusion studies conducted by Sharif and Haq (1980), Blackman et al (1973), Fisher and Pry (1971), Mansfield (1961) and TT-processes by Stock and Tatikonda (2000), Lin and Berg (2001) and an update review of research and theory on TT by Bozeman (2000) and Jayaraman et al (2002) and further references therein can provide other examples in the area of technology transfer modeling.…”
