“…First of all is labor mobility (Fosfuri, Motta and Ronde 2001;Glass and Saggi 2002;Görg and Strobl 2005) spillover may take place through the movement of workers when well trained employees of foreign firms establish their own firms or take employment in domestically owned firms. Secondly, the presence of multinationals may lead to the spread of information on new technology and production processes also known as "the demonstration effect" (Findlay 1978, Koizumi and Kopecky 1977, Wang and Blomstrom 1992. Thirdly, through linkage with local firms, foreign affiliates may enhance the production efficiency of the host country (Girma and Gong 2007, Javorcik 2004, Markusen and Venables 1999, Pack and Saggi 2001.…”

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a crucial factor in international economic integration. FDI creates direct, stable and long-lasting links between economies. It promotes the transfer of new technology and know-how between countries, and provides the host economy to promote its products more widely in international markets. FDI is also an extra funding source for investment and, under the right policy environment, it can be an important channel for development of SMEs. Increased FDI inflows to a country can create several positive economic effects. Among others, FDI can affect labour and capital markets, trade patterns and economic growth. It is well known from the theory of host country effects of FDI that in order for FDI to occur, the multinational enterprise (MNE) must have some firm specific advantages compared to the enterprises in the host economy. These firm specific advantages may result in technology transfer from the parent firm to its affiliate in the host country of investment and related spillover effects in the host economy by firms. We survey the recent theoretical and empirical literature, but restrict our attention to the productivity changes that are induced by increased FDI inflows. We review both the aggregate productivity effects, as well as the spillover effects of FDI on SMEs.

“…Most of the available empirical studies of spillovers and early theoretical models like those of Findlay (1978) and Koizumi and Kopecky (1977) have assumed that spillovers are proportional to foreign presence, and independent of the behaviour of foreign affiliates and local firms. An important feature of newer models, however, is that the actions of both types of firms have an impact on spillovers.…”

Productivity spillovers from competition between local firms and foreign affiliates

1996

Using detailed (unpublished) industry data from Mexican manufacturing, this paper estimates a simple simultaneous model to examine if there are signs of productivity spillovers from competition between local firms and foreign affiliates. The results are affirmative, but only when suspected 'enclave' industries are dropped from the sample. The spillovers from competition are not determined by foreign presence alone, but rather by the simultaneous interactions between foreign and local firms. This may explain some of the contradictory findings of earlier empirical spillover studies, most of which have assumed that the externalities are strictly proportional to foreign presence.

“…Koizumi and Kopecky (1977) point out that technology is considered as a public good, and technology spill-overs are addressed as an important mechanism for technology diffusion (Niosi, 1999;Serapio and Dalton, 1999;Fosfuri and Motta, 1999). Wang and Blomstrom (1992) report that although technology spill-overs are intrinsic they do not take effect automatically.…”
