Features: This book primarily analyzes the relationship between technology diffusion and host country technological progress from three major international technology diffusion pathways: international trade, foreign direct investment, and foreign patent applications and citations. It examines the technical transmission process and effectiveness of each technology diffusion mechanism. Building on a review of domestic and international theoretical research, it constructs a new theoretical model and conducts equilibrium analysis on the issue of economic growth convergence under both small and large economies. In terms of empirical research, it innovates the CH model to explore the impact of international technology diffusion on the technological progress of developing countries and regions, particularly China. Furthermore, it provides relevant policy recommendations on how developing countries and regions can leverage international technology diffusion to promote technological advancement and independent innovation.
