Abstract: This study uses micro-data on research and development, and finance of Japanese firms from 1995 to 2005 and examines the effect of knowledge spillover on the performance of firms. Four types of knowledge spillover are estimated and results of quantitative analysis on following the two topics are provided. Does the spillover contribute to improve firm's productivity? How much the contribution there is? The results indicate that there is positive impact of the spillover on firm's performance and the contribution is not negligible. The policy that stimulates firms' research and development activities could improve firms' productivity not only by their own R&D activities, but also through the knowledge spillover.
