Are international R&D spillovers trade-related?: Analyzing spillovers among randomly matched trade partners

Author Info

Listed author(s):
  • Keller, Wolfgang

Abstract

In this paper, I analyze recent findings by Coe and Helpman (1995) of trade-related international R&D spillovers. I show generally that randomly created bilateral trade shares also give rise to large estimated international R&D spillovers; often, in fact, to larger estimated spillover effects which are more precisely estimated than by employing the 'true' bilateral trade shares.
