Econometric study on the technology gap between Korea and Japan
Article Abstract:
An econometric model of technological transfer analyzes technological development problem of a technologically less-developed country, such as Korea, with a technologically advanced country, such as Japan. The model measures and reduces the gap between these two countries in terms of resources allocation for independent technology development and importation. The study showed that increase in the rate of technology transfer from more developed countries, such as Japan, will significantly reduce the gap and enhance the growth rate of less-developed countries, such as Korea.

The feedback loop between technology and economic development: an examination of Japanese industry
Article Abstract:
The relationship between technology and economic development in the Japanese manufacturing sector from 1970-1992 is studied. Results show that R&D investments stagnated following the collapse of Japan's bubble economy. The stagnation of R&D investments reduces the contribution of technology to sales and decreases both R&D quantity and quality, which would in turn prevent sustainable economic growth.
