%T The Pattern of International Pattenting and Technology Diffusion %A Hafner, Kurt Adolf %J Applied Economics %N 21 %P 2819-2837 %V 40 %D 2008 %= 2011-04-01T03:58:00Z %~ http://www.peerproject.eu/ %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-241041 %X The paper focuses on the impact of R&D expenditure on labor productivity using interna-tional patent applications as a technology diffusion indicator. Considering the relationship between research and productivity, the pattern of international patenting reflects the channel between the source and the destination of transferred technology. Accounting for nonstation-arity and cointegration, I find that patent-related foreign R&D spillovers are present for a panel of 18 OECD countries. Moreover, Non-G7 OECD countries benefit more from foreign rather than domestic R&D activities. Estimates also show, that there is no significant spillover effect from bilateral trade, but confirm the impact of FDI on domestic labor productivity. %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
