Abstract

By putting duplicity of R&D into the analytical framework, the international R&D spillover regressions model based on the data of 14 countries in the period of 1985-2006 is applied to evaluate the relationship between host country's absorptive capability and reverse technology spillovers. It is found that international R&D spillovers have a crowding-out effect on the domestic R&D stock. Reverse technology spillovers is mainly constrainted by the technical resources abroad instead of the host country.
