We introduce some variables to test the innovation as a dependent variable to capture the appropriate regression model for the period 2008-2016. The fixed effect model confirms the positive relationship between the technological capacity and ICT as proxy variables. Also, the results show that the Exports of High Technology products as a share of total exports in countries of the sample is not significant for that period.
