Abstract: | This article has constructed a framework to analyze the relationship between national innovation investments, international
knowledge spillover due to FDI and regional technological progress. We use the panel data sample in 1992–2006 from China’s
29 provinces (municipalities or autonomous regions) to test the impact of China’s regional R&;D investments, international
knowledge spillovers of FDI on its regional technological progress. It reveals that the local investments in science and technology
are the most important factors to promote technological progress; for the structure and quality of China’s current FDI, the
knowledge spillover effects from FDI, especially through the FDI enterprises’ manufacturing activities, are not obvious; the
local gains in its technology development from FDI depends on its economic and technological level. Based on the above conclusions
we give the corresponding policy recommendations for China’s FDI policy and regional economic development. |
