Abstract

The main goal of this Research is the estimation of the share of technological spillover in sectorial-regional Growth. At first, a brief literature about growth and technological spillover are presented, and then the production function in Cob-Douglas form is assumed. We have used other counties? studies in technological spillovers. Then, 29 sectors of Iran Economy sectors are selected, this selection is done in a way that a good view of Iran economy totally could be shown. Geographical range for this thesis is 30 Iran provinces. Then, we have gathered the required data (according to Cob-Douglas production function) for 30 provinces due to 29 sectors in 1997-2005. We have combined panel data technique with spatial econometric for estimation of the model. Spatial econometric is the especial method for regional studies that features and regional differences will affect the model. Conclusions presented in two parts. At first, according to 2 digits ISIC code and then based on the three main sectors; agricultural, mining and industry and service. The positive effect of technological spillovers on growth was approved for 16 sectors of 29 sectors and among three main economy sectors agricultural, mining and industry and service, the agricultural proved to be the more impressionable sector.
