A Study of Linear Relationship between the Technological Spillovers of FDI, Technology Gap and Economic Growth
质疑多数文献假设的线性关系，通过引入外商直接投资和技术差距变量建立经济增长模型，利用中国29个省份面板数据发现技术差距与经济增长呈倒U型非线性关系，影响各地区增长效应。
Based on the assumption of the linear relationship of technological spillovers of inward FDI, technol- ogy gap and economic growth from the majority literatures, this paper studies the nonlinear relationship of tech- nological spillovers of inward FDI, technology gap and economic growth. The authors establish an economic growth model through introducing an inward FDI variable into the physical capital and a technology gap variable into the technological spillover, and then construct the quantitative estimate equation. Moreover, the estimated results of the panel data from 29 provinces in China proves that there is an inverted U-shaped nonlinear relation- ship between technology gap and economic growth, which significantly influences on the growth effect of each region. .
