This paper estimates the aggregate productivity effects of externalities generated by foreign direct investments (FDI) in the US. The authors use a regional production function framework that models externalities and other spillovers, using data for US states from 1977-2003. The results indicate that FDI does, in fact, generate positive externalities, while those from domestic firms are negative.
