ABSTRACT: In this paper, the data from “international trade
center” is used to calculate the technical complexity
index of the representative sample countries of medical device trade,
and the transnational panel data model is used to compare the influencing
factors of the technical complexity of the developed and developing countries
of the sample countries. The results showed that: 1) health expenditure, human capital, R & D investment and
foreign investment all have a positive impact on the export technology
content of medical devices, of which health expenditure and human capital had a
greater impact; 2) the aging of natural resources and population have a
negative impact on both developed and developing countries; 3) import trade has
a stable positive impact on developed
countries, but has no significant impact on
developing
countries; 4) population size has a stable positive impact on medical device
products in developed countries, but has a negative impact on developing countries. Finally, this paper gives some suggestions
to improve the export technology level of medical device products in
developing countries based on multi-dimensional empirical analysis.
