Abstract

This paper, by utilizing the inter-provincial panel data from 2009 to 2015 and the two-step system GMM, examines the impact of OFDI reverse technology spillovers on the export technological complexity in China. The result is that OFDI is a driving force for the export technological complexity. By further adding a series of control variables, the result showed that the impact of OFDI reverse technology spillovers on the export technological complexity has been increased. Therefore, the state should endeavor to encourage enterprises to "go global" and focus on the accumulated investment of domestic human and R&D capital.
