Innovation, international technological diffusion and the changing influence of R and D on productivity

Article Abstract:

Domestic innovation and the diffusion of technology have been seen as important factors affecting productivity growth. Research into these factors shows that international technological diffusion tends to have a greater impact than domestic research and development (R and D), on average, for countries in the OECD. Domestic R and D is more important for large economies, however, and smaller countries need their own research to adapt. R and D appears to have less of an impact on productivity from the mid 1970s. Demand side factors appear to have had an impact as well as supply-side factors.
