主 题：how do multinational firms impact china's technology？the role of quid pro quo policy and technology spilovers
■ 讲座简介：
multinationals play a crucial role in international knowledge diffusion. given the recent concern that multinationals are departing china, understanding the importance of multinationals for china's technology is also particularly policy-relevant. using comprehensive patent data from china, we document: (1) multinational affiliates and their foreign parent firms comprise a significant portion of patents filed with china's patent office; and (2) there are subsequent transfers and spillovers of these technologies to domestic firms. guided by the empirical findings, we develop a quantitative framework of multinational activities featuring cross-country technology flows, transfers, and spillovers. quantitatively, we find that without multinational production and knowledge spillovers, china's total technology capital would drop by 36%. furthermore, due to the externalities of multinationals' technology investments, subsidizing multinationals in china will be socially beneficial, and reduced knowledge transfers/spillovers largely amplify the negative effects of multinationals' departing china on both china's gdp and technology.
