Resumo: | This paper investigates the effect of innovation on primary agricultural and processed food product exports among the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries.  A theoretical gravity equation that accounts for innovation is derived.  The empirical exercise uses panel data sets covering 21 OECD countries for the period 1990-2003.  The R&amp;D capital stock is employed as a tangible way of measuring innovation.  Empirical results show that R&amp;D has enhanced exports in the primary agricultural sector.  Meanwhile, the market expansion effect of R&amp;D appears to be more than offset by the market power effect in the food processing sector, resulting in a decrease in exports.  Also, evidence was found of a positive vertical channeling effect through which R&amp;D in the primary agricultural sector increases exports of processed food products.
