Recent theories of economic growth treat commercially oriented innovation in response to economic incentives، as a major engine of technological progress and productive growth. In this view، innovation feeds on knowledge arising from cumulative research and development (R&D) experience on one hand، and it contributes to this stock of knowledge on the other hand. Consequently، an economy’s level of productivity depends on its cumulative R&D effort and on its effective stock of knowledge، with the two being interrelated. In a world with FDI and international trade in goods، a country’s productivity depends on the R&D of its trade partners as well as its own.
