Abstract: Abstract Based on the 84 agreements concluded by RCEP member countries from 2003 to 2022 and their international patent cooperation data, this paper explores the impact of technology transfer-related provisions in RTAs on international scientific and technological cooperation among member states. The results show that the related provisions significantly promote international scientific and technological cooperation, while there exists heterogeneity in the promotion of cooperation between economies with different. It is found that three types of provisions, namely absorptive capacity, international personnel mobility, and technical cooperation, has much stronger role in promoting international scientific and technological cooperation among developing economies. Therefore, in the process of building high-quality free trade agreements, China should not only focus on improving the scope and depth of technology transfer provisions, but also adhere to the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences, and carrying out regional cooperation with countries at different levels of economic development.
