“…The idea that a single government policy could raise productivity by such a large amount and in such a short time-span is truly remarkable." Souare (2013) finds, also in the context of Canadian manufacturing, a robust role for international trade, FDI and R&D in explaining TFP growth. The comprehensive study (138 countries) by Alcalá and Ciccone (2004) finds strong evidence of a causal 'effect of trade on productivity across countries'.…”

We consider how the growth of total factor productivity (TFP) was affected by R&D, trade, information and communication technology, and catching-up for the period from 1990 to 2006. Our contributions are: Firstly, to decompose TFP growth into two distinct measures for catching-up and for innovation using the Malmquist index; secondly, to update related investigations. Summarizing our findings, catching-up effects are statistically important, whereas frontier shifts tend to be smaller with increasing distance to the frontier, and large differences exist and persist between sectors and countries.

“…A simple Cobb-Douglas production function has been popularised by many scholars (Schneider 2005;Sterlacchini & Venturini 2011;Souare 2013) and is modified in this study to look into the effect of high technology trade and innovation into fostering economic growth.…”

This study evaluates the effect of high-technology trade on economic growth in an emerging economy, using quarterly data from 1990 until 2018. The role of innovation in moderating the high technology trade -economic growth nexus also emphasize. The empirical findings based on the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach reveal that hightech trade, foreign direct investment and physical capital stock are statistically significant determinants of economic growth. The innovation must be presence to support or moderate the effect of high-tech industry on economic growth. Moving into subsector, the findings indicate that the development of machinery and transport equipment, mineral fuels and lubricants, manufactured goods and chemical sectors are crucial as the niche areas of focus for policy design and resource allocation. The results are robust using the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) estimation.

“…Fu and Chen started from the perspective of technology introduction methods and used systematic GMM to empirically test the impact of imports, foreign direct investment, and the purchase of foreign technology authorization on China’s economic growth efficiency from 2000 to 2013 [ 11 ]. Souare found that FDI significantly improved the level of total factor productivity by studying the impact of international industrial transfers on the technological innovation capability of the Canadian manufacturing industry [ 12 ]. Based on Mauritius’ manufacturing development data.…”

This study explores the relationship between the proportion of basic research investment in R&D expenditure and regional economic growth efficiency and its influence path. A panel of data from 31 China’s provincial was analysed by the fixed-effects model over 2009 to 2019. Empirical results highlight that: (1) the increase in the proportion of basic research investment has a significant promoting effect on regional economic growth efficiency, but it presents an "inverted U-shaped" impact path. Meanwhile, the threshold effect model test results reveal that basic research investment plays a more significant role in promotion when the per capita income level exceeds a certain threshold. (2) The test results of the mediating effect model indicate that the improvement of the level of human capital is the intermediate channel through which the investment in basic research affects regional economic growth efficiency, while the mediating effect of the increase of knowledge storage on the process of the investment in basic research affecting regional economic growth efficiency is not supported by data. Potential policy measures are discussed.
