Abstract

R&D cooperation is the main way for humankind to address common challenges, grasp the direction of the technological revolution and absorb the dividends of change. However, can developing economies narrow the gap between their relative value chain position and that of developed economies through “North-South” international R&D cooperation? Using OECD international R&D cooperation patent data and the 2000-2018 world input-output table, this paper theoretically analyses and empirically tests the effects and mechanisms of “North-South” international R&D cooperation on the relative value chain division of labour position of developing economies. The study shows that “North-South” international R&D cooperation widens the gap in the relative value chain division of labour position between developing economies and developed economies, but significantly increases the gains from trade in intermediate products.
