Abstract
Technology is caused by the import of intermediate and capital goods as one of the factors affecting economic growth The resulting technology spillover has an effective role in innovation, inventions and increasing competitiveness, etc. The need for technological spillover caused by the import of intermediate and capital goods is to expand scientific productivity Because scientific productivity by focusing on the number of researchers, laboratories, universities, research institutes and scientific resources and journals in this field can provide the conditions to achieve this type of knowledge. and cause the overflow of knowledge and technology and the production of products with superior technology; Therefore, in the knowledge-based economy, economic growth and development is created by providing the necessary platforms for the promotion of scientific productivity and presence in global import markets. For this purpose, the purpose of the research, Investigating the effect of the scientific productivity index on the technology spillover caused by the import of intermediate and capital goods of developing countries (G15) during the years 1996-2022, using the method of generalized moments (GMM). The estimation results show that scientific productivity and its components have a positive and significant effect on the technology spillover caused by the import of intermediate and capital goods. Also, the results show that the variables of GDP and relative price have a positive and significant effect on the technology spillover caused by the import of intermediate and capital goods. The effect of the variable exchange rate on the technology spillover caused by the import of intermediate and capital goods is negative and significant.
