Title: International Technology Diffusion of Joint and Cross-border Patents
Abstract: With the advent of globalization, economic and financial interactions among countries 
	have become widespread. Given technological advancements, the factors of production 
	can no longer be considered to be just labor and capital. In the pursuit of economic 
	growth, every country has sensibly invested in international cooperation, learning, 
	innovation, technology diffusion and knowledge. In this paper, we use a panel data set 
	of 40 countries from 1981 to 2008 and a negative binomial model, using a novel set of
	cross-border patents and joint patents as proxy variables for technology diffusion, in 
	order to investigate such diffusion. The empirical results suggest that, if it is desired to
	shift from foreign to domestic technology, it is necessary to increase expenditure on 
	R&D for business enterprises and higher education, exports and technology. If the 
	focus is on increasing bilateral technology diffusion, it is necessary to increase 
	expenditure on R&D for higher education and technology.
Keywords: International Technology Diffusion, Exports, Imports, Joint Patent, Cross-border Patent, 
	R&D, Negative Binomial Panel Data.
