Abstract

Technology 'spillovers' are increasingly being recognized as sources of productivity growth. International 'convergence' in productivity levels has also been noted in recent studies. This paper reports a study of international total factor productivity (TFP) growth for 11 industrial sectors in seven OECD countries. Spillover variables are defined based on interindusty and international invention input-output (I(IO)) weights. These variables are tested against import-weighted variables. The study concludes that I(IO)-weighted R&D 'spill-ins' are important determinants of TFP growth and that convergence is dependent on domestic RBD.
