Summary

Introduction

Technology transfer and international trade are widely recognized as important factors for economic development (Jovanovic, 1998; Wooldridge, 2002). Much evidence related to cross-country economic performance suggests that the rate of economic growth of a country depends on the extent of adoption and implementation of new technology. De Long and Summers (1993) provide an empirical evidence to show the strong effects of equipment investment on economic growth in both developed and developing countries. There has not much evidence, which is known empirically on the determinants of technology adoption. The problem with this analysis is that they do not provide us with the big picture. This paper examines the determinants of technology transfer in a cross section of 55 provinces in Vietnam from 1996 to 2016.
