Technological Spillovers From FDI : Evidence from Tunisian Manufacturing Firms
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in developing countries is expected to foster technology transfer from foreign-owned to local firms. Using detailed panel data from Tunisian manufacturing firms, we show that technological spillovers generated by FDI, as a form of technology transfer, help firms move near the best practice frontier (production frontier) measured by the Schmidt and Sickles method....

متن کاملIndustrial Linkages and Export Spillovers from FDI
In this paper we investigated the hypothesis of export spillovers from foreign multinationals to domestic firms using a data set of UK manufacturing firms from 1992 to 1999. Unlike previous studies we allow not only for the possibility of horizontal (i.e. intraindustry) and regional externalities, but also for vertical ones (i.e. inter-industry: forward and backward). Deploying and Heckman sele...
متن کاملFDI Spillovers in an Emerging Market: The Role of the Diversity of FDI Country Origins
Prior literature on foreign direct investment (FDI) spillovers has mainly focused on how the presence of FDI affects the productivity of domestic firms. In this study, we advance the literature by examining the effect of the diversity of FDI country origins on the productivity of domestic firms. We propose that the diversity of FDI country origins can facilitate FDI spillovers to domestic firms...
متن کاملProductivity spillovers through vertical linkages : evidence from 17 OECD countries
This paper extends the literature on productivity spillovers from inward FDI. We use comparable industry level data for 17 OECD countries and investigate the importance of horizontal and vertical spillovers, and differences between CEEC and other OECD countries. Results show that there is evidence for spillovers through vertical backward linkages between multinationals and domestic firms for al...
