碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 科技管理研究所 === 100 === With the advent of the era of knowledge based economy, international technology trade diffuse the knowledge and technology through to the world. It helped developed country to accelerate the accumulation of the national innovative capacity and reinforce the technological competence, thereby bringing the country's economic development. From the perspective of the numbers of patent application and certified patents, Taiwan is outstanding than others. But from the perspective of the international technical trade, Taiwan faced serious trade deflects because of importing the technologies from leading countries. Due to the historical development in the past, the countries can be classified according to the condition of the technical trade. Different national development strategies and industrial development policy of the Technologies importing countries and Technology exporting countries determine the changes of the technology balance of payments. I want to study what were the determinants affecting the changes of technology balance of payments for the Technological leaders and Technological followes? Furthermore, I want to study were the determinants affecting the changes of national technological receipts and payments? I build a regression model to analyze the relationship between the Technological regimes, social capability and technology balance of payments. I use the research framework from the research made by Lee, Keun (2010), and add social capability as another factor to discuss the changes of the balance of payments. And use the patent date and patent citation from U.S. Patent Office (United Stated Patents and Trademark Offices) to calculate technological regimes. And I also use the data from World Bank, OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), Asian Development Bank as research data to definitie social capability and technology balance of paymenys. After the regression analysis, I found that countries whcih accumulate more patent and have more Appropriability in their innovation output will increase their technology receipts. And when the GDP per Capita is more and the countries invest more expense in universities research, the tecnnology of payments will be better than the past.
