“…Görg and Greenaway (2004) survey some 40 studies to conclude that the evidence for positive productivity spillovers is weak. Meta-analyses indicate that the scale and direction of the FDI impact on the host economy are conditional on factors such as the level of development (Meyer and Sinani, 2009) or minimum levels of human capital, financial market development and market linkages (Bruno and Campos, 2014).…”

“…Meyer and Sinani (2009) identify five studies covering the transition region. In three (Liu, 2002 on China;Yudaeva, Kozlov, Melentieva, and Ponomareva, 2003 on Russia;and Sinani and Meyer, 2004 on Estonia), positive spillovers are identified but in two others the effects are found to be negative (Konings, 2001 on Bulgaria and Romania and Djankov and Hoekman, 2000 on Czech Republic).…”

The paper explores the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the economies of the Western Balkans during their transition to a market system. The paper recalls the political and historical circumstances that have delayed transition in the Western Balkans economies, and draws attention to the specific features of FDI that have influenced their economic development. The main hypotheses are formulated and basic tests performed on data from the manufacturing sector. However, data limitations mean that we can only test for horizontal, rather than vertical, spillovers and in practice we are not able to identify many significant horizontal spillover effects. This finding can probably be explained by various factors -institutional, economic, and political -that have constrained FDI effects in the Western Balkan economies in comparison to the Central East European countries. Our work has important policy implications; in order to accelerate economic development, Western Balkan policy makers may need to implement more effective economic policies.

“…Of ten studies of China, considered a transition country rather than a developing country, eight found positive spillovers, one found a curvilinear relationship that had positive and 20 negative segments, and one did not report either positive or negative results (Meyer and Sinani, 2009).…”

This paper attempts to measure the size of South-South FDI in developing East Asia and the trends in it, and the characteristics of the investing countries and the investments themselves. It also summarizes the findings of studies in individual countries of the effects of these investments. The studies of individual countries will be used to try to find some consensus on differences between South-South FDI and North-South FDI. Among the comparisons of the two types of FDI we try to summarize are be findings about their industrial composition, their effects on their host countries and their host-country firms' productivity, wages, and employment, and how these differ across industries.

“…Since institutions are developed to create order and a stable environment, and to promote economic exchange and cooperation (North, 1990;Williamson, 1985), host-country institutions affect the ability of subsidiaries to access external resources and knowledge (Meyer & Sinani, 2009). Well-established institutions are able to provide an efficient common infrastructure and reduce transactional uncertainty (McEvily & Zaheer, 1999).…”
