Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between technology imports, R&D investment and technical efficiency of Chinese high-tech industry using provincial panel data for the period between 2000 and 2009. The results show that, although technology imports have no significant effects on technical efficiency, R&D has a positive and significant influence on the technical efficiency of Chinese high-tech industry, what’s more, the interaction of R&D investment and technology imports promotes technical efficiency significantly. For policy makers, the results of our analysis suggest that adjusting trade structure and encouraging enterprises to increase R&D investment may significantly promote technical efficiency of Chinese high-tech industry.
