Foreign ownership and productivity: Is the direction of causality so obvious? (2006, background): “A very di¤erent result is found by Harris and Robinson (2002) who analyse a large cross-industry sample of UK plants observed in the 80s and the 90s.”
Foreign ownership and productivity: new evidence from the service sector and the R&D lab (2004, methodology): “18 Other empirical analysis of knowledge spillovers from FDI include, among others, Blomstrom (1989), Globerman (1979), Görg and Greenaway (2004), Harris and Robinson (2002) and Teece (1977).”
Evaluating the Foreign Ownership Wage Premium Using a Difference-in-Differences Matching Approach (2006, background): “The choice of covariates is influenced by the empirical literature on foreign acquisitions (e.g. Conyon et al, 2002, Harris and Robinson, 2002).”
Estimating Direct and Indirect Effects of Foreign Direct Investment on Firm Productivity in the Presence of Interactions between Firms (2014, methodology): “One research strand (e.g., Harris and Robinson, 2002, Girma and Görg, 2007a, Arnold and Javorcik, 2009) implements methods from microeconometric programme evaluation to estimate the direct treatment effects for firms receiving the “treatment” of being foreign compared to non-treated domestic firms…”
Foreign Direct Investment, Transactions Linkages, and the Performance of the Domestic Sector (2002, background): “However, the majority of papers suggest that empirical estimates of spillovers from inward investment are rather lower than might have been expected (see for example, Girma et al. 1999, 2001; Haskel et al., 2001; and Harris and Robinson 2002a, 2002b).”
Linking FDI motivation and host economy productivity effects: conceptual and empirical analysis (2007, methodology): “For recent examples of this literature and methodology, see Haskel et al. (2002), Harris (2002), Harris and Robinson (2002), Driffield (2001) and the earlier literature summarised in Görg and Strobl (2001).”
The innovative performance of foreign-owned enterprises in small open economies (2008, background): “Such a gap has been found, for example, by Doms and Jensen (1998) for the US. Harris and Robinson (2002) find in the UK that selecting the high-productivity enterprises for acquisition results in a superior performance ex post.”
The labor market effects of foreign owned firms (2004, background): “…analysis of foreign acquisitions for developed countries is focused on the UK and finds that acquiring foreign firms “cherry pick” domestic firms.33 Harris and Robinson (2002) and Conyon, Girma, Thompson and Wright (2002a) show that there is selection of foreign acquisitions into firms with…”
Multinationals Productivity Advantage: Scale or Technology? (2007, methodology): “The choice of these variables is motivated by the existing literature on ownership change, for example, Lichtenberg and Siegel (1987), McGuckin and Nguyen (1995), Conyon et al. (2002), Harris and Robinson (2002).”
Performance of domestic and cross-border acquisitions: empirical evidence from Russian acquirers (2012, methodology): “We apply dynamic GMM estimation – for studies that implement GMM when analysing M&As, see for example Harris and Robinson (2002), Gugler and Yurtoglu (2004), Bertrand and Zuniga (2006) or Hakkala and others (2007) – since the GMM technique allows us to correct for simultaneity, dynamic and firm…”
The Effects of Greenfield FDI and Cross‐border M&As on Total Factor Productivity (2016, unknown): “In contrast, Harris and Robinson (2002) find some evidence that total factor productivity declined after the acquisition of UK firms by foreign firms during 1987-1992. predominant over various costs of integration and market power effects” (Bertrand, 2009: 1028) – at least in relatively advanced…”
