The potential for technology and knowledge transfers between foreign and local firms: A study of the construction industry in Ghana (2014, background): “The absorptive capacities of local firms are important determinants of T&K transfer (Blalock & Simon, 2009; Eapen, 2012; Spencer, 2008).”
Does inward foreign direct investment improve the innovative performance of local firms (2013, background): “And what little we do know generally addresses the impact of inward FDI on the total factor, or labor, productivity of local firms (Aitken and Harrison, 1999; Blalock and Simon, 2009; Chung et al., 2003; Haddad and Harrison, 1993; Javorcik, 2004; Konings, 2001).”
Cross sectoral FDI spillovers and their impact on manufacturing productivity (2018, background): “Second, drawing on the notion of absorptive capacity (Cohen and Levinthal, 1990; George and Zahra, 2002; Narula and Marin, 2003), which highlights that ability of local firms to absorb the external knowledge depends on the interaction between the mechanisms by which they occur and the existing absor”
Social structure and technology spillovers from foreign to domestic firms (2012, unknown): “Recent research has also stressed the need to model this heterogeneity in domestic firms (Blalock & Gertler, 2009; Blalock & Simon, 2009; Meyer, 2004; Spencer, 2008: 356–357).”
Adaptation, bridging and firm upgrading: How non-market institutions and MNCs facilitate knowledge recombination in emerging markets (2014, background): “Variation would largely be due to differences in supplier-level traits and resources, like ownership, size and absorptive capacities (Blalock & Simon, 2009).”
Human Mobility and International Knowledge Spillovers: Evidence from High-tech Small and Medium Enterprises in an Emerging Market (2010, background): “Foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade have been regarded as the main vehicle for knowledge spillovers (Blalock and Simon, 2009; Blomstrom and Kokko, 1998; Buckley et al., 2002; Grossman and Helpman, 1991; Keller and Yeaple, 2003; Liu and Wang 2003; Liu, Wang and Wei, 2009; Marin and Bell, 2006).”
