Impact of OFDI Reverse Technology Spillover on China’s Export Competitiveness:An Empirical Analysis from Perspective of Technological Gap

doi:10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2021.04.019

Abstract

Abstract: OFDI reverse technology spillover is an important way to transform the comparative advantage of China’s export products from labor cost advantage to technological advantage， increase the added value of products and enhance China’s export competitiveness.Using the panel data from China’s provinces， municipalities， and autonomous regions from 2003 to 2017， a threshold-free regression model of OFDI reverse technology spillovers and export competitiveness and a technology gap threshold regression model were established to investigate the relationship between OFDI reverse technology spillover and China’s export competitiveness.The results show that OFDI reverse technology spillover has a positive effect on export competitiveness， technological gap has an impact on the relationship between the two， the above relationship has significant regional differences.

Key words: OFDI; reverse technology spillover; export technology content; export trade structure; technological gap
