Hoekman, BernardJavorcik, Beata Smarzynska2012-06-042012-06-042006978-0-8213-6125-2https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6962This volume presents a rich set of analyses exploring how trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) can help increase economic growth by allowing firms to tap into and benefit from the global pool of knowledge. The chapters demonstrate that both obtaining access to foreign markets and opening their own economies to trade and FDI are crucial to promoting economic growth in developing countries, because they stimulate international technology diffusion. The volume also identifies government policies that can facilitate technology transfer and its absorption in the developing world.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CAPITALAPPLICABLE LAWASYMMETRIC INFORMATIONAVERAGE PRODUCTIVITYBARRIERS TO IMPORTSBUDGET CONSTRAINTSCAPITAL ACCUMULATIONCAPITAL EQUIPMENTCAPITAL GOODSCAPITAL INVESTMENTCOLLABORATIONCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECROSS-COUNTRY DATADEVELOPING WORLDDIFFERENTIATED PRODUCTSDOMESTIC DEMANDDOMESTIC ENTERPRISESDOMESTIC FIRMSDOMESTIC MARKETECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INTEGRATIONECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC POLICYECONOMIC RESEARCHEUROPEAN UNIONEXPECTED RETURNEXPORT MARKETEXPORT MARKETSEXPORTSEXTERNALITIESFDIFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOREIGN ACQUISITIONSFOREIGN AFFILIATESFOREIGN BUYERSFOREIGN CAPITALFOREIGN COMPANIESFOREIGN COMPETITIONFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN ENTRYFOREIGN FIRMSFOREIGN GOODSFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTSFOREIGN INVESTORSFOREIGN KNOWLEDGEFOREIGN MARKETSFOREIGN OWNERSHIPFOREIGN PRESENCEFOREIGN PRODUCERSFOREIGN SUBSIDIARIESFOREIGN TECHNOLOGIESFOREIGN TECHNOLOGYFOREIGN TRADEFREE TRADEFREE TRADE AGREEMENTGDPGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL INTEGRATIONGNPGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTGROWTH RATESHOST COUNTRIESHOST COUNTRYHOST ECONOMYHOST-COUNTRYHUMAN CAPITALIMPERFECT COMPETITIONIMPORT COMPETITIONIMPORTED INPUTSIMPORTING COUNTRIESINCREASING COMPETITIONINCREASING RETURNSINDUSTRIAL COUNTRIESINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIAL ECONOMIESINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONINTERNATIONAL PAYMENTSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT INCENTIVESINVESTMENT MEASURESJOINT VENTUREKNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATIONKNOWLEDGE DIFFUSIONKNOWLEDGE SPILLOVERSLABOR FORCELABOR PRODUCTIVITYLATIN AMERICANLEARNINGLEGAL STATUSLIBERALIZATION OF TRADELIVING STANDARDSLOCAL FIRMSLOCAL SUPPLIERSMARGINAL COSTSMARKET ACCESSMARKET FAILURESMARKET POWERMARKET SHAREMULTINATIONAL ENTERPRISESNATURAL RESOURCESOPEN TRADEPATENTSPOLICY REFORMPOLICY RESEARCHPOSITIVE EXTERNALITIESPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCTION PROCESSPRODUCTION TECHNIQUESPRODUCTIVITYPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPRODUCTIVITY SPILLOVERSPROGRAMSPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC GOODSREGIONAL INTEGRATIONREGIONAL INTEGRATION AGREEMENTSSOFT BUDGET CONSTRAINTSSUBSIDIARY RIGHTSTAX INCENTIVESTECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITIESTECHNOLOGICAL CONTENTTECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATIONTECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONSTECHNOLOGICAL LEADERSHIPTECHNOLOGICAL SOPHISTICATIONTECHNOLOGY DIFFUSIONTECHNOLOGY GAPTECHNOLOGY SPILLOVERSTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY GROWTHTRADE AGENDATRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYTRADE PROTECTIONTRADE REFORMSTRADE REGIMETRADING PARTNERSTRAINING PROGRAMSTRANSITION ECONOMIESWAGESWORLD TRADEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6125-2
