It is the first, as far as we know, to do so at the industry level for developing countries. North-South and South-South R&D flows are constructed based on industry-specific R&D in the North, North-South and South-South trade patterns, and input-output relations in the South. The main findings are: • North-South and South-South R&D flows have a positive impact on total factor productivity, though the former is larger. • R&D-intensive industries benefit mainly from North-South R&D flows while low R&D-intensive industries benefit mainly from South-South R&D flows. These results have implications for dynamic comparative advantage and for the dynamics of North-South and South-South regional integration. This paper—a product of Trade, Development Research Group—is part of a larger effort in the group to understand the impact of trade on technology diffusion..
