The results are presented in the form of technology spillover effects within countries and internationally. The results indicate a positive indirect and feedback effect of changes in the indicators of human development; research and development expenditures and import lead to knowledge transfer all these results endorse the existence of technological spillover and capacity for absorbing technology in these countries.
