This research examines the micro-foundations of the determinants of the level and growth of productivity in developing countries by focussing on the roles of firm level research and development (R&D) and job training expenditures. The objectives of the project are to (1) describe the incidence and patterns of firm level training and R&D expenditures; (2) study the economic factors that influence firm decisions to invest in R&D and training; and (3) the impact of R&D and job training on the level and change in productivity at the firm level. At the heart of productivity growth is technological change. In rapidly developing countries, the encouragement of high technology development is closely linked to a growth strategy which is export- oriented. Furthermore, at the microlevel, success at the exporting game is often linked to large enterprises. Here we link the three forces of technology, export-orientation and productivity in determining firm investment decisions and their outcome. This research is based on a unique and rich micro-database of the Taiwan Census of Manufactures for the period from 1976 to 1991 that covers all plants in the country's manufacturing sector. Data on firm-level R&D, training and export sales, virtually non-existent for most countries, are reported in this database. This data is combined with recently developed microdata empirical techniques to gain insights into the determinants and effects of key factors in the industrial development process in rapidly developing economies.

本研究探讨了影响因素的微观基础， 发展中国家的生产力水平和增长， 注重公司层面的研究与开发（R D）的作用 和职业培训支出。 该项目的目标是（1）描述发病率， 企业层面的培训和研发支出的模式;（2）研究 影响企业投资研发决策的经济因素， （3）研究与开发和职业培训对技术水平的影响 以及公司层面生产力的变化。 生产率增长的核心是技术变革。 在 快速发展的国家，鼓励高科技 发展与出口增长战略密切相关， 定向。 此外，在微观层面上， 游戏往往与大型企业有关。 在这里，我们将三者联系起来， 技术力量、出口导向和生产力 决定公司的投资决策及其结果。 这项研究是基于一个独特的和丰富的微型数据库的 1976年至1991年台湾制造业普查， 涵盖了该国制造业的所有工厂。 数据 公司一级的研发、培训和出口销售几乎不存在 在大多数国家，都在这个数据库中报告。 该数据 结合最近开发的微观数据经验技术， 深入了解关键因素的决定因素和影响， 快速发展经济体的工业发展进程。
