外国直接投资（FDI）可以通过逆向工程、熟练劳动力流动、示范效应和制造商-客户关系等溢出渠道使东道国的创新活动受益。利用1995 - 2000年的省级数据，我们发现外商直接投资对中国国内专利申请数量有积极的影响。这一发现是强大的汇集时间序列和横截面数据估计和面板数据分析，并为不同类型的专利申请（发明，实用新型和外观设计）。外部设计专利等微小创新的溢出效应最强，突出了FDI的“示范效应”。
Foreign direct investment (FDI) can benefit innovation activity in the host country via spillover channels such as reverse engineering, skilled labor turnovers, demonstration effects, and supplier-customer relationships. Using provincial data from 1995 to 2000, we find positive effects of FDI on the number of domestic patent applications in China. This finding is robust under both pooled time-series and cross-section data estimation and panel data analysis and for different types of patent applications (invention, utility model, and external design). The spillover effect is the strongest for minor innovation such as external design patent, highlighting a "demonstration effect" of FDI.
