The role of “non-economic” endowments: introduction to the special section on what we know and what we should know about international knowledge sourcing
指出国际知识获取的新格局不仅取决于经济禀赋,更与国家的“非经济”禀赋密切相关,为特辑论文提供背景。
Recent developments in the pattern of international knowledge sourcing have highlighted a new international division of labor in knowledge production which now is affecting emerging as well as advanced countries. The source of this division of labor has been identified as residing in the changing economic endowments of these countries. We extend this by suggesting that the new international allocation of knowledge-related activities is related strongly to a country’s “non-economic” endowments. Our arguments provide context to the papers in this special section.
