| The present study has examined the effect of export and import of different classifications of technology on the growth of Iranian manufacturing industry during the period 1998-2011 based on two models (a & b). Model a tests the effect of high-tech manufacturing industry on the growth. Then, import of high-tech industry is added to Model b and the effect of export is evaluated in the presence of import. The findings of Model b indicated that in the presence of import, the export of high-tech industry has the positive effect on the growth while the effect of such level of technology import is negative. An important principle to achieve a specific level of development in developing countries is that they should consider import of low-tech goods and export of high techgoods in the early stages of growth. Therefore, since Iran is a developing country, high-tech import could not have a positive effect on growth. Accordingly, the effect of export, with the presence of import,on growth of low-tech industry was tested and insignificant export variable revealed that import plays more important role than export on growth in Iranian low-tech industry. |
