How is globalization related to innovation? Is globalization a cause of innovation, or is innovation a cause of globalization, or both? Does increased trade and investment liberalization lead to more innovation, or does it depress innovation activity? In either case, what are the exact mechanisms? These are some of the most important questions that this report aims to address. These are some of questions that this report attempts to answer. This report collects many interesting findings based on the papers/studies done to cover many countries in East Asia region. Along with its wide international coverage, this project utilizes micro-level data at plant, firm, or product level. While innovation may be an old topic, there have not many studies in the literature that utilize data at this micro level, addressing the innovation linkage to globalization, and focusing on the most rapidly growing region in the world. There are, therefore, rich insights that one can draw from all papers in this report.
