EXPLORING THE COMPLEMENTARITY BETWEEN FOREIGN TECHNOLOGY, EMBEDDED TECHNOLOGY AND INCREASE OF PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY
利用巴西制造业企业面板数据，分析外国许可技术、设备嵌入式技术与生产能力提升之间的互补关系，发现前两者条件性替代，而各自与生产能力提升条件性互补。
This study analyzes the complementarity of foreign technology acquired under license agreements, technology embedded in machinery and equipment and increase in a company’s productive capacity. We use panel data on Brazilian manufacturing companies from the World Bank Surveys. We used the random effects models, estimated by maximum likelihood. The results indicate that foreign technology, embedded technology and increase of productive capacity have a positive and significant impact on labor productivity. The complementarity test reveals that the relationship between the two technologies analyzed is conditionally substitutive and that the relationship between each of these technologies and increase of productive capacity is conditionally complementary.
