“…This gap hinders the ability of local companies to contribute to knowledge dissemination. Women often encounter barriers engaging in networks, which limit their capacity to acquire and share implicit knowledge, a vital element in fostering spillover (Bournakis & Mei, 2023). As MNCs offer more training and growth opportunities, local female workers gain access to previously unavailable information.…”

“…This implies that other companies may be missing knowledge spillovers, indicating the limited learning impact of R&D-intensive MNCs. Bournakis and Mei (2023) emphasize that a firm's capacity to harness knowledge from FDI is closely tied to its response to competition. In sectors predominantly composed of women, competitive pressure from FDI may lead to job losses for women if domestic firms subcontract or close, (OECD, 2022).…”

This study investigates the impact of gender diversity on firm productivity following foreign direct investment (FDI) spillover. Using Indonesian firm‐level datasets from 2011 to 2015, we employ gender spillovers to assess women's distinct contributions to labor spillovers, often manifested through their impacts on productivity, knowledge sharing, and innovation. A fixed‐effects estimator using Driscoll and Kraay's standard errors was employed to deal with cross‐sectional dependence. We first examined the intra‐industry spillover effects of FDI, followed by spatial spillovers, to evaluate the influence of one province's productivity changes on neighboring provinces. Our findings reveal significant gender‐driven FDI spillovers in the spatial dimension but not within the sector. The consistent results across subsamples (impacts on domestic firms, Java‐non‐Java Island, feminization degree, and industrial technology intensity) align with theoretical studies that emphasize the influence of geographical proximity on FDI spillovers. No significant intra‐industry spillover effects were observed. Further exploration of informal channels, possibly mediating spillover effectiveness, is recommended to provide insights into the observed sectoral dynamics.
