These inhibitory effects are mainly caused by decreasing productivity, reducing markup rates, damaging regional quality reputations, causing labour resource misallocation and strengthening environmental regulations.

External constraint operates since MIT countries depend on exogenous prices to grow. Meanwhile, that constraint relaxes as the complexity of production increases. Second, it presents a novel identification of the MIT countries trajectories using indicators of economic complexity. A typology of the varieties of MIT is built according to the level of complexity of national economies and the relatedness between their current productive structure and more complex goods.

However, few studies have analyzed how foreign direct investment (FDI) affects the diffusion of industrial robots among domestic enterprises in developing countries. To bridge the gap, we combine several datasets to empirically examine the causal relationship between high-tech FDI and the robot adoption by domestic manufacturers in China. We discover a significantly positive impact of high-tech FDI on the adoption of industrial robots by domestic manufacturers, evidenced by the expansion in both stock and flow, as well as an increase in the variety of robots. Mechanism tests indicate that this effect can be achieved through both proactive learning and absorption of external technology, as well as through passive participation in more intense market competition. Moreover, the impact of high-tech FDI on robot adoption is more salient among enterprises with stronger absorptive capacity as well as those characterized by lower labor intensity and higher energy intensity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47829,"journal":{"name":"Structural Change and Economic Dynamics","volume":"71 ","pages":"Pages 302-314"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142002213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I conclude by examining the main rural development policies adopted in the period within a coherent framework for understanding the adoption of technical innovations.
