本文主要是探討科技移轉對整合參與國的長期經濟成長率的影響，因為南北整合(North：已開發工業國家；South：開發中國家)的趨勢慢慢形成，不再像過去僅專注在已開發國家間的整合或開發中國家間的整合，故本文探討的主體是兩個不對稱經濟體，想要了解在區域整合後，藉由科技移轉的方式，將已開發國家的科技移轉給開發中國家會如何影響兩個整合參與國的長期經濟成長率。

由過去的文獻探討中發現，大部份探討經濟實力不對稱的兩國區域整合文章大都沒有明確指出國與國間的科技移轉的途徑為何，而是假定科技知識為公共財，當兩國進行經濟整合後，就能夠自由運用整合區域內的科技知識。因此，本研究的目的在於延用Anusua and Hamid (2003)設定科技移轉的概念，加入Jones (1995)的”Non-Scale R&D Growth Model”，建構南北兩國貿易模型(North-South Model)，藉此探討若將Jones Model (1995)放入科技移轉(technology diffusion)和科技模仿的南北兩國貿易模型(North-South Model)中，同樣可排除掉Romer Model (1990)中的「Scale Effect」，並保有Anusua and Hamid (2003)模型中部份有趣的結果。
