Technology Transfer to Overseas Subsidiaries by U.S.-Based Firms
研究了美国跨国公司向海外子公司转移技术的性质、技术外溢程度、对东道国及其他国家的收益大小,以及受益最大的非美国企业类型,为政策制定者和学者提供了新见解。
Although economists and policy makers have devoted considerable attention to the transfer of technology by U. S.-based multinational firms to their overseas subsidiaries, very little is known about the nature of the technology that is being transferred overseas in this way, the extent to which it leaks out to non-U. S. competitors, the size of the benefits it confers on the host (and other non-U. S.) countries, and the sorts of non-U. S. firms that receive the largest benefits of this sort. This paper presents findings that shed new light on each of these topics.
