Wolfgang KellerNBERSBR-9818902Productivity growth and technical progress are closely related phenomena. Moreover, technical progress in one location frequently goes hand in hand with productivity growth elsewhere, partly because technological knowledge is non-rival. Technology diffusion is the process by which R&D in one industry benefits productivity in another industry, and R&D in one country increases the productivity in another country. Recent research in growth theory holds that economic integration at the industry as well as at the country level facilitates technology diffusion and the spatial distribution of productivity growth. This project seeks to quantify the contribution of economic integration to technology diffusion and productivity growth and to distinguish different channels through which it does so. The results from this research will have implications for economic policies towards science and technology, trade, and international investment, which have a considerable impact on welfare due to the relationship between productivity and economic well-being.

沃尔夫冈·凯勒NBERSBR-9818902生产率增长和技术进步是密切相关的现象。此外，一个地区的技术进步往往与其他地区的生产率增长齐头并进，部分原因是技术知识是不具竞争力的。技术扩散是一个行业的研发有利于另一个行业的生产率，一个国家的研发提高另一个国家的生产率的过程。最近对增长理论的研究认为，行业和国家一级的经济一体化促进了技术扩散和生产率增长的空间分布。该项目力求量化经济一体化对技术扩散和生产力增长的贡献，并区分不同的渠道。这项研究的结果将对科技、贸易和国际投资的经济政策产生影响，由于生产率和经济福祉之间的关系，这些政策对福利有相当大的影响。
