Abstract

This paper examines the impact of trade with Japan, North America and the EU on technology diffusion and TFP growth in Jordan, Korea and Mexico. The measures of foreign R&D are constructed on the basis of industry-specific R&D in the North, North-South trade patterns, and input-output relations in the South. We show that technology diffusion and productivity gains tend to be regional: Jordan (Korea) (Mexico) benefits mainly from trade with EU (Japan) (North America). In other words, the dynamic version of the "natural trading partners" hypothesis seems to hold for these countries.// En este artículo se estudia el efecto del comercio internacional con Japón, la América del Norte y la Unión Europea en la difusión de la tecnología y el crecimiento en la productividad total de los factores (PTF) en Jordania, Corea y México. Las medidas de investigación y desarrollo (ID) se construyen en la base de la ID nivel de industria en el Norte, de las pautas de comercio entre el Norte y el Sur, y de las relaciones de insumo-producto en el Sur. Mostramos que la difusión de la tecnología y el crecimiento de la productividad tienden a ser regionales. Jordania (Corea) (México) se beneficia principalmente del comercio con la Unión Europea (Japón) (América del Norte). Esto es, la versión dinámica de la hipótesis de los “vecinos comerciales naturales” parece válida para este grupo de países.
