its payments for royalties and fees 

 increased by 71 percent; this was not 

 quite as large as the increase for R&D, 

 which nearly tripled. Consequently, 

 the share of Japanese payments for 

 technical know-how to R&D de- 

 creased to 7 percent in 1985. 



In 1970, Japan exported constant 

 $194 million worth of technical know- 

 how; in the same year, the United 

 States had exports of constant $8.6 

 billion. Since 1970, Japanese tech- 

 nology has been in greater demand 

 by overseas customers and the Jap- 



anese have been more willing to sell 

 their technology; by 1985, Japan was 

 exporting constant $721 million worth 

 of technical know-how, improving 

 the share of receipts to payments 

 from 14 percent in 1970 to 30 percent 

 in 1985.
