Abstract

There is now widespread empirical and theoretical evidence that disparities in the speed of diffusion of new technologies across national borders help to explain differences in the level of per capita income across countries (Comin and Hobijn 2010; Keller 2010). As was presented in the first part in Chaps. 3 and 4 , there is vast academic interest in the effectiveness of particular channels of diffusion, with particular attention given to the role of trade in intermediate goods (Eaton and Kortum 2006; Rivera-Batiz and Romer 1991a), exporting (Wagner 2007), and FDI (Lichtenberg and Van Pottelsberghe de la Potterie 2001).
