Apr 2008
This publication analyzes the effects of inward and outward foreign direct investment (FDI) flows on the productivity levels of firms. The study comprises a comparative analysis of 17 OECD countries that use industry- and country-level data from 1973 to 2001. The authors argue that when international and national knowledge spillovers are controlled, there are benefits from inward FDI as well as changing competition in the host country.
