Abstract

The paper studies the interaction between innovations and international competitiveness and the main objective is to determine the potential impact of innovations on competitiveness and assess the extent of that impact. Therefore, the paper questions (a) whether innovations cause competitiveness, and (b) to what extent the innovations influence competitiveness. Based on the literature review, the export of goods and the number of patent applications (both per million people) are taken as proxies and chosen as indicators for measuring innovations and international competitiveness. Cross-country panel data analysis is performed for a sample of 67 countries over the period of 1993-2020. The selection of countries was based on the availability of data on all variables. The autoregressive model whose dependent variable is the export of goods and the independent variables are the number of patent applications, foreign direct investments, and the real effective exchange rate is estimated using the Random effect model. The results show that patents have a positive impact on export, though its extent is not so significant. The Granger causality test also confirms that patents cause increased export. The research results hold practical value for policymakers.
创新和国际竞争力:国家层面的证据
本文研究创新与国际竞争力之间的相互作用,主要目的是确定创新对竞争力的潜在影响,并评估这种影响的程度。因此,本文质疑(a)创新是否会产生竞争力,以及(b)创新对竞争力的影响程度。在文献综述的基础上,以商品出口和专利申请量(均为每百万人)为代理指标,作为衡量创新和国际竞争力的指标。对1993-2020年期间67个国家的样本进行了跨国面板数据分析。国家的选择是根据所有变量数据的可得性。建立了因变量为商品出口、自变量为专利申请量、对外直接投资数量的自回归模型,利用随机效应模型估计了实际有效汇率。结果表明,专利对出口有正向影响,但影响程度不显著。格兰杰因果检验也证实了专利导致出口增加。研究结果对政策制定者具有实用价值。
