Research on Mechanism and Determinants of International Knowledge Spillover Effects

Abstract

Abstract:

This research aims to understand how Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Export Trade in Chinese industrial sectors are related to and affect firm's innovation performance. The paper does an empirical study and the results show that FDI not only fails to enhance innovation performance of local firms, but sometimes also exhibits negative effects on it. In addition, our analysis suggests that the spillover effects of export are significantly positive, and absorptive ability positively moderates the effect of export spillovers on firm's innovation performance.

Key words: FDI, export trade, knowledge spillover, innovation performance
