Abstract
This study investigates how the innovation output is affected by foreign divestments in International Joint Ventures (IJVs) and explores whether this impact depends on the industry-specific context of the divested IJVs. In particular, we examine the moderating role of inward technology licensing, distinguishing between licensing-in foreign and domestic technology. The conceptual model is tested with data from the Chinese Industrial Enterprise Database and the Innovative Enterprise Database. Using PSM and DID method, the findings show that (1) foreign divestments of IJVs have negative impacts on innovation output, (2) licensing-in foreign technology weakens the negative impacts, and (3) licensing-in domestic technology strengthens the negative impacts.
