Analysis of the effect of imported technology on the economic growth of Korea

This paper investigates the effect of imported technology on the economic growth of Korea. To this end, the relationship between input technology and economic growth are suggested in the numerical form and analysed empirically. The rates of return of technology investments, which are divided into the domestic R&D investment and the investment on imported technology, are estimated. Based on the result of this analysis, the rate of return of the input technology, which includes the domestic R&D investment and the investment on imported technology, are estimated as 31.4%, and this input technology is calculated as to contribute 8.9% on the economic growth rate of Korea. And the domestic R&D investment is fumed out to have bigger rate of return than the investment on imported technology during the surveyed period. However, the rates of return of detailed R&D investments, which can be divided into the investments on commercial R&D and basic science, were not calculated in this paper, because of the lack of data on this in this paper. As well, the time-lag effect, which is naturally believed to exist between the R&D investment and the economic growth, could not be analysed wit:1 the same reason. Thus when analysing the relationship between them, this paper tried to minimize the time-lag effect by using the long-term data of twenty-three years.
