Abstract

Does exporting intermediate goods induce learning from importers? In this paper, we examine to what extent learning from German industries can be explained by knowledge spillovers, channeled through the export of intermediate goods. Our study is based on a sample of 27 German trade partners in 14 manufacturing industries for the period 2004–2016. Using data on patent citations and trading in intermediate goods, we find support for the widely known “learning-by-exporting” hypothesis. Our analyses reveal that citations to German patents are positively related to exported intermediate goods weighted by German R&D expenditure. The relationship between these spillovers and learning seems to be particularly strong in certain industries. We also show that the level of absorptive capacity of the exporting industry-country plays a positive role in mediating these spillovers.

超越贸易：全球价值链中的知识溢出效应和出口学习

出口中间产品是否会引起进口商的学习？在本文中，我们研究了德国工业的学习在多大程度上可以通过中间产品出口所带来的知识外溢来解释。我们的研究基于 2004-2016 年间 14 个制造业中 27 个德国贸易伙伴的样本。利用专利引用和中间产品贸易数据，我们发现广为人知的 "通过出口学习 "假说得到了支持。我们的分析表明，德国专利引用与德国研发支出加权的出口中间产品呈正相关。这些溢出效应与学习之间的关系在某些行业似乎尤为紧密。我们还表明，出口产业国的吸收能力水平在这些溢出效应中起着积极的中介作用。
