OVERSEAS R&D AND TAIWAN-BASED FIRM’S PRODUCTIVITY - DOES INTERNAL TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITY MATTER?

Journal Title: Asian Economic and Financial Review - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 9

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of overseas R&D on firm productivity. In particular, we further consider the moderating effect of internal technological capability. To provide more empirical evidence, this analysis takes advantage of a longitudinal dataset covering the 2009-2013 period and the system-GMM approach is employed in the empirical analysis to control for the problem of endogeneity. The empirical results show that overseas R&D has a significant influence on their firm productivity. Moreover, internal technological capability is found to play a significant moderating role in strengthening the influence of overseas R&D on firm productivity.
