Technology, Factor Proportions and Competitiveness
研究了1969-84年瑞典制造业国际竞争力和专业化模式的变化，发现研发支出有助于提升市场地位，但未导致对研发密集型产品的专业化加强。
This paper reports an attempt to explain changes in the industrial pattern of relative international competitiveness and specializ ation in the Swedish manufacturing industry during the period 1969-84 . The author evaluates the role of R&D expenditure in this process. R elative international competitiveness was found to improve in industr ies intensive in human as well as physical capital. The analysis conf irmed the "technology gap" hypothesis in that a high level of R&D e xpenditure, relative to competitors, improved the Swedish market posi tion; on the other hand, no indication was found of increased interna tional specialization on R&D-intensive products in Swedish industry.
