dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the effect of trade facilitated R&D spillovers
on the productivity of manufacturing firms in India. Though developing
countries are considered as the major beneficiaries of trade facilitated
R&D spillovers, detailed empirical investigations in their context are
lacking. The paper distinguishes R&D spillovers into two types and
examines their effect on productivity. It also considers the intersectoral
variation in productivity effect and the importance of firms' investment
in R&D, imported technology and plant and machinery in enhancing
the effect on productivity. The paper uses firm level panel data and an
improved estimation method. It shows that R&D spillovers have a
significant effect on productivity and there exists intersectoral variation
with greater contribution to productivity in technology intensive
industries. The paper also shows that firms' investment in R&D and plant
and machinery are enhancing the productivity effect of R&D spillovers.
Keywords: R&D Spillover, trade, manufacturing industry, productivity
