Foreign Direct Investment, Spillovers and Absorptive Capacity: Evidence from Quantile Regressions (2005, unknown): “This result is, thus, broadly in line with our expectation that spillovers in the engineering sector may be limited due to “technology sourcing” FDI, as suggested by Driffield and Love (2002).”
Human Mobility and International Knowledge Spillovers: Evidence from High-tech Small and Medium Enterprises in an Emerging Market (2010, background): “The larger the technology gap, the more the laggard firms learn from leaders (Driffield, 2001; Castellani and Zanfei, 2003) although the presence of cultural and cognitive barriers mean that domestic firms may gain limited benefits from FDI spillovers (Flores et al.”
Multinational Companies and Productivity Spillovers: A Meta‐Analysis (2001, background): “For example, Globerman (1979) measures value-added per worker in thousands of Canadian dollars, while Flores et al.”
The multinational enterprise as a source of international knowledge flows: Direct evidence from Italy (2010, background): “As a result, productive affiliates are more likely to generate spillovers, regardless of the underlying source of that productivity, and there is evidence to that effect (Oulton 1997; Driffield 2001).”
FDI and Economic Growth: Evidence from Nigeria (2007, background): “Second, FDI is assumed to augment domestic capital thereby stimulating the productivity of domestic investments (Borensztein et al., 1998; Driffield, 2001).”
Technology gaps, absorptive capacity and the impact of inward investments on productivity of European firms * (2003, background): “In a similar vein, Driffield (2001) shows that changes in value added per employee in the foreign sector, over 1986-89, positively affect productivity growth of domestic firms in the UK, and interpret this as evidence of catching up of local manufacturers stimulated by higher level competitors.”
Wage inequality and the role of multinationals: evidence from UK panel data (2005, background): “The implied mechanism for this process is that technological advantages are transferred to domestic producers in the form of spillovers, Blomstrom (1989), Haddad and Harrison (1993) and Driffield (2001).”
The Effects Of Foreign Direct Investment On The Host Country'S Economic Growth: Theory And Empirical Evidence (2013, background): “Existing firms are forced to improve their technology and methods to face competition imposed by multinationals (Driffield, 2000; Varamini and Vu, 2007).”
The Importance of Clusters for Spillovers from Foreign Direct Investment and Technology Sourcing (2006, background): “associated with developing countries, it is nevertheless still a problem in the UK (Driffield, 2001).”
Regional Foreign Direct Investment and Wage Spillovers: Plant Level Evidence from the UK Electronics Industry (2003, unknown): “The imported technology is likely therefore 1 See for example Blomström et al (2001), Girma and Wakelin (2001), Driffield (1999), Driffield (2001). to increase productivity of this complementary labour, and in turn generate higher wages.”
Productivity Spillovers from Foreign Direct Investment in Developing Countries: A Meta-Regression Analysis (2010, methodology): “, 2000; Globerman, 1979; Driffield, 2001). For developing countries however, data is often incomplete and historically there have been few studies of productivity spillovers from FDI. More recently, the increasing availability of better datasets for a larger number of countries has produced a signif”
FDI AND HUMAN CAPITAL: A RESEARCH AGENDA (2002, background): “For instance, Driffield (2001), Liu et al. (2000) and Pain (2001) all find statistically significant spillovers in the UK, as do Chuang and Lin (1999), Dimelis and Louri (2002), and Lipsey and Sjöholm (2001) in their studies of Greece, Taiwan, and Indonesia, respectively.”
