Spillovers and competition among foreign and local firms in China (2008, background): “Most studies, however, have used foreign employment shares to predict positive spillover effects (Caves, 1974; Driffield and Munday, 2000; Liu et al., 2000; Buckley et al., 2002; Kosova, 2005).”
Human Capital and Inward FDI (2003, background): “We first discuss the role of MNCs in formal education, followed by a summary of the evidence regarding training of employees in MNCs, and some comments on the service sector, where human capital is arguably even more important than in manufacturing.4”
Linking FDI motivation and host economy productivity effects: conceptual and empirical analysis (2007, background): “…a productivity effect over and above the simple ‘batting average’ effect.13 This phenomenon, outlined perhaps for the first time in Caves (1982), has formed the basis for much of the work seeking to evaluate the technology spillover effects of FDI (Blomström and Kokko, 1998; Liu et al., 2000).”
Productivity spillovers from R&D, exports and FDI in China's manufacturing sector (2006, background): “Recent examples include the employment share of foreign-owned firms (Liu et al., 2000; Buckley et al., 2002), capital/investment share of foreign-owned enterprises (Liu et al.”
When and where does foreign direct investment generate positive spillovers? A meta-analysis (2009, methodology): “Also recent studies in the UK suggest positive effects (Liu et al., 2000; Haskel et al., 2007), while results from Southern European countries are more mixed (Barrios et al.”
Dancing with a Giant: The Effect of Wal-Mart's Entry into the United Kingdom on the Performance of European Retailers (2008, background): “Research taking the incumbent perspective has mostly been conducted at an aggregate country or industry level, ignoring firm-specific differences (e.g., Liu et al. 2000).”
Does Foreign Direct Investment Improve the Productivity of Domestic Firms? Technology Spillovers, Industry Linkages, and Firm Capabilities (2017, background): “As previous studies suggest, there is little evidence of horizontal spillovers from foreign invested firms to domestic firms in developing countries (Aitken and Harrison 1997; Blalock and Gertler 2005a; Javorcik 2004), although such horizontal spillover is found in developed countries such as the Un”
Productivity Spillovers from Foreign Direct Investment in Developing Countries: A Meta-Regression Analysis (2010, methodology): “Studies using data from industrialized countries are, on average, more likely to find positive intra-sectoral spillovers from FDI (Liu et al., 2000; Globerman, 1979; Driffield, 2001).”
The MNC as an agent of change for host-country institutions: FDI and corruption (2006, background): “Demonstration effect In the international business literature, there is a line of research that studies spillover effects of foreign direct investment (Globerman (1979), Haddad and Harrison (1993), Eden et al. (1997), Aitken and Harrison (1999), and Liu et al. (2000)).”
Is the relationship between inward FDI and spillover effects linear? An empirical examination of the case of China (2007, background): “The greatest number of enquiries finds evidence that FDI enhances LOEs’ productivity (Caves, 1974; Globerman, 1979; Liu et al., 2000, Zhu and Tan, 2000).”
