三角貿易對研究發展與購買技術的影響：以台灣製造業為例

The Impact of R&D and Purchased Technology at Triangular Trade：The Case of Taiwanese Manufacturing Firm

本文使用Bivariate Probit與Bivariate Tobit模型，探討三角貿易對廠商選擇研究發展與購買技術的影響，控制廠商規模、出口比例、技術勞工與外人直接投資等變數，並比較廠商從事三角貿易與無三角貿易對知識資本的影響。利用2001年行政院主計處「台閩地區工商及服務業普查之製造業抽樣調查表」，實證發現廠商從事三角貿易對研究發展與購買技術的使用具有正向關係，亦即廠商從事三角貿易比無三角貿易的廠商，對知識資本投入有增加的現象，尤其在出口比例愈高、技術勞工愈多、有外人直接投資與資本密集型產業的廠商更顯著。最後，研究發展與購買技術間具有互補關係。

The Bivariate Probit and Bivariate Tobit model are employed in this study to examine the impact of internal R&D and external purchased technology at triangular trade, and the difference of knowledge capital between triangular trade firm and non-triangular trade firm, controlling the firm size, export share, skilled labor and foreign direct investment. Based on the data from the manufacturing survey of 2001 Industry, Commerce and Service Census, the empirical results suggest that firms with triangular trade have a higher R&D and purchased technology intensity. Finally, the results provide some empirical evidence for complementarities between R&D and purchased technology in the innovation process.
