The estimation results on the determinants of firms’ TFP have been consistent
across the models. Basing on the results of LR tests in the Table A5 and Table A6
(Appendix, page xxiv), the cross-classified model was confirmed to be better fit
to the data. This study carefully made the comparison between the model with
random effects in both sector level and province level and the other model with
fixed effects. The consistence in results of random effects and fixed effects model
may be a good sign to apply random effects model (Bell and Jones, 2015)

2 The classification by Pavitt (1984) was based on sources of technology, requirements of users, and 
possibilities for appropriation in firms. Supplier dominated firms (group 1) are mainly in traditional sectors 
of manufacturing like agriculture, housebuilding, informal household production. Scale intensive producers 
(group 2) have principal activities in food products, metal manufacturing, shipbuilding, motor vehicles, glass 
and cement. Science based firms (group 3) are to be found in the chemical and in the electronic/electrical 
sectors.

Figure A2. The correlation of Innovation activities and R&D activities in each year in the 
period 
In particular, the relationship between innovation activities and R&D activities 
is described in each year (Figure 3.19). There seems to be a slightly positive 
relationship between innovation activities and R&D activities. This positive 
relationship may be more revealed in the year of 2010, 2011 and 2013. In 
comparison to the average level of innovation activities and R&D activities in the 
period, there may be more sectors having R&D activities in 2010, but more sector 
having innovation activities in 2014.

Figure A3. The correlation of Innovation activities and R&D activities by each sector in the 
period 
The positive correlation between innovation activities and R&D activities seems 
to be clearer in consideration of each sector (Figure 3.20). Some sectors such as sector 
number 41 and number 67 had both R&D activities and innovation activities to be 
higher than the average level of all sectors in all years in the period. The innovation 
activities in 2013 seem to be below the average level in all sectors, except the sector 
number 41 and number 45.

B. Spatial Regression Model in analysis on Knowledge Spillover 
among Sectors 
B1. General idea of Spatial Regression Model 
Spatial Regression Model has become a prominent tool for measuring 
spatial spillover. It is widely acknowledged that what occurs in one region may 
be related to what happens in neighboring regions. Several economic and 
socio-demographic variables may be referred to spatial clustering or 
geographic-based correlation such as unemployment, crime rates, house 
prices, per capital health expenditures and the alike (Solle Olle, 2003; 
Moscone and Knapp,2005; Reveilli,2005; Kostov,2009; Elhorst and 
Freret,2009; Elhorst et al.,2010). It is obvious that unemployment, crime rates 
or house prices in this region may have some effects on that in other regions. 
These regions could be countries, states, census tracts or zip codes. As 
stipulated by Tobler (1979), everything is related to everything else, but closer 
things more so. These relations may be observed and analyzed by spatial 
regression models. 
In spatial relations, the variable change for a specific unit may have effect 
on the change of other units that is regressed by different typical spatial 
models. The change in dependent variable of this unit may be correlated with 
that variable’s change of other units. This case is appropriate with the 
application of Spatial Autoregressive Model (SAR). In other case, the change 
in unobserved factors of this unit may be affected by the change in these 
factors of other units that is solved by Spatial Error Model (SEM). Besides, 
when there exists the effect of an explanatory variable’s change for a specific 
unit on the unit itself and, potentially, all other unit indirectly, Spatial Durbin 
Model (SDM) is prominent method to explore these relations. 
In general, spatial regression models determines the relations among units 
basing on the correlation matrix that indicates which regions are spatially 
related with a given region. This is usually a square symmetric RxR matrix 
xxx 
with (i,j) element equal to 1 if regions i and j are neighbors of one another, and 
zero otherwise. The diagonal elements of this “spatial neighbors” matrix are 
conventionally set to zero. Depending on the border between regions, LeSage 
and Pace (2009) pointed out four ways to construct such a matrix including 
linear contiguity, rook contiguity, bishop contiguity and queen contiguity 
Besides, distance-based criteria is also used to determine neighboring relations 
among regions. This approach can be expanded in a lot of ways by different 
distances or weights. The usage of different methods in determining the matrix 
depends on the context. 
In practice, the spatial neighbors’ matrices are usually slightly transformed 
into spatial weights matrices. The most common transformation method is to 
make the sum of each row in the neighbor matrix to be unity. In this method, 
called “row-standardization”, each element in a row is divided by the sum of 
the elements in the row. Therefore, a spatial weights matrix W, with element 
wij is defined by !H = z∑ z (b1) 
Depending on the method, the value of !zH is determined differently. Under 
border approach, !zH is equal to 1 when two regions satisfy the criteria of the 
same border. Another typical criterion to define !zH is distance-based 
contiguity with dij to be the distance between (centroids of) regions i and j. !zH 
is defined to be 1 if dij <d and zero otherwise for a pre-specified d. 
B2. Knowledge Spillover among Sectors under Spatial Regression 
Model approach 
Spatial Regression Model is every applicable in analyzing on knowledge 
spillover among sectors. It is widely known that knowledge is a public good 
that facilitates innovation and creates externalities due to knowledge spillover 
(Aghion and Jaravel, 2015). This spillover is emphasized by Cohen and 
xxxi 
Levithal (1989) to verify the role of R&D to enhance a firm’s absorptive 
capacity in assimilating knowledge from its environment. Basically, firms 
could not only learn the knowledge from other firms in the same sector but 
also gain the knowledge from other sectors due to the transaction of input and 
output. It means that R&D, an investment in knowledge creating activities, by 
this sector may have impact not only on innovation performance itself but also 
innovation capacity of other sectors. Besides, knowledge from other countries 
can be transferred and adopted by local firms through the impact of trade and 
foreign direct investment (FDI). These confirms on the existence of 
knowledge spillover of R&D, FDI and trade on sector innovation capacity. 
Spatial Regression Model idea is the modern approach to investigate the 
impact of knowledge spillover of R&D, FDI and trade on sector innovation 
capacity. By exploiting the complicated dependence structure between units, 
spatial regression models could estimate the direct, indirect and total marginal 
effects of this spillover (Belotti et al., 2016). In general, spatial regression 
model separate the direct and indirect effects by weighting matrix that covers 
the relationship between units. By traditional models, several studies 
investigated intra-sectoral effect by summing the knowledge spillover factor 
of all other firms in the sector. Meanwhile, the inter-sectoral effect is estimated 
by the sum of the knowledge spillover from all other firms in other sectors 
under the weight matrix of correlation between two sectors. Goya et al. (2016) 
investigated the inter-industry R&D spillover by the weighting matrix wsm. 
This matrix is defined as the quotient between the intermediate purchase by 
sector s of goods and services supplied by sector m and the total sum of 
intermediate purchase of sector s. However, spatial models allow a dynamic 
specification by implementing the bias corrected maximum likelihood 
approach described in Yu and Lee (2008). Moreover, the command in Stata 
could automatically distinguish the short-run and long-run marginal effects 
when a dynamic spatial model is estimated.

B3. Robust Hausman Test 
In general, the choice between fixed and random-effects variants could be 
confirmed by the Hausman test with the Hausman (1978) statistic: D5 = V5 V5 (b5) 
Where V5 = (5 - 5 ) is the difference between the fixed and random 
effects estimates and  is an estimate of the variance-covariance matrix of V5. 
In spatial panel data, especially in small samples,  =  -   is not 
ensured to be positive definite under alternative hypothesis. This may lead to 
the failure of Hausman specification test in meeting its asymptotic 
assumptions. In order to overcome this issue, xsmle in Stata directly takes into 
account the a ¡ (5 , 5  ) so  =  +   - 2a ¡ (5 , 5  ). In 
particular, this command estimates  through Dx¢` where D = (Ic, -Ic) and 
Ic denotes the identity matrix of size c. The joint variance-covariance matrix x¢ is consistently estimated by using the following sandwich formula. 
x¢ = (£ ¤¤ £ )(j, j, j , j , ) (£ ¤¤ £ ), (3.7) 
With 
£¢ = -1/n ∑ ¥ ¦§ *¢§**¨K with p = FE, RE, 
j51 = 1/n ∑  ¦§ *¢§©K  ¦ª *¢ª*¨ , p,q=FE,RE !ℎ88 £¢(j5,) £¢ and £¢ (j5 , ) £¢  are the cluster-robust variance-
covariance matrices of 5 , 5  where the cluster is represented by the panel 
unit.
