Firm Productivity in Bangladesh Manufacturing Industries (2006, background): “A large number of studies show a beneficial effect of exports (e.g., Blalock & Gertler, 2004; Van Biesebroeck, 2005b; Wagner, 2007) or foreign ownership (e.g., Arnold & Javorcik, 2005; Kee, 2006) on firm TFP.”
Exports Versus FDI in German Manufacturing: Firm Performance and Participation in International Markets (2010, unknown): “With respect to the host country, Arnold and Javorcik (2005) show that foreign ownership has a significant positive effect on plant performance in Indonesia.”
Domestic versus cross-border acquisitions: which impact on the target firms’ performance? (2008, unknown): “The positive sign from cross-border acquisitions supports works from Arnold and Smarzynska (2005) or for instance Piscitello and Rabbiosi (2003).(35) The foreign acquisitions of target firms are followed by an improvement in productivity.”
Foreign Ownership and Firm Performance: Emerging Market Acquisitions in the United States (2012, background): “Arnold and Javorcik (2005) use plant-level data from Indonesia and find that foreign ownership leads to significant improvements in productivity in the year of acquisition as well as in subsequent years.”

Cross-Border M&As and Innovative Activity of Acquiring and Target Firms (2016, background): “…of the empirical literature on cross-border M&As has focused on the effects of foreign ownership on productivity (see, for instance, Chen, 2011; Arnold and Javorcik, 2009), a recent strand of the literature emphasizes innovation as a key determinant of multinationals' productivity advantage…”
How Does Investing in Cheap Labour Countries Affect Performance at Home?
