| Title | Impact of Foreign Licensing on Firm-level Innovation in Developing Countries |
| Summary | Technology transfer is a key determinant for firm level innovation. In the literature, although foreign licensing has been described as an important channel for technology transfer, no empirical evidence is provided. Using a firm-level survey across 39 countries, this thesis examines the impact of foreign licensing on firm-level innovation. I find that foreign licensing has a strongly positive effect on firm level innovation in developing countries. Genetic matching method was used to further validate my results, which remained strongly positive. The findings also suggest both national and firm level factors are important to have greater impact from foreign licensing. |
