Foreign Direct Investment, Technology Spillover Effects Analysis

China's technology spillover effect from Foreign direct investment, is the community of 1990s scholars generally explored. Although China has been followed "the market for technology" investment strategy for many years, but the experience has challenged the findings. What are the ways to use FDI technology spillover? Weather can we take measures to promote the technological spillover effects? The results of these problems in the assessment of the role of national economic growth and developing the right investment policies are very important. The papers is base on the technology spillovers and absorptive capacity to resolve these issues.First the papers recalled the theory, experience and empirical research results on technical spillover effects from FDI, and analysis the technological spillover mechanism.

This is the fourth chapter explored. I quote endogenous growth models based on Borensztein et al (1998) model for measurement and comparison to the absorptive capacity of foreign direct investment,...
