Spillover Asymmetries and a Comparative Technological Advantage

E. R. Carlisle

The American Economist, 1992, vol. 36, issue 1, 13-17

Abstract: This paper offers a framework for examining technology spillovers extant between research teams. A policy-relevant finding is that firms' research organizations must strive to absorb foreign technology. The result of a technology spillover imbalance or asymmetry is that from a country or policy perspective, even for countries sustaining a superior number of world-class research teams, a comparative technological advantage may be lost if the domestic R/D teams fail to absorb and exploit technology as aggressively as foreign rivals.
