- Innovation and Family Ownership: Empirical Evidence from India (2014, background): “In recent years, Benfratello and Sembenelli (2006) have used an IV-GMM technique to examine foreign ownership on total factor productivity of Italian manufacturing firms.”
- The effect of investor origin on firm performance: Domestic and foreign direct investment in the United States (2011, background): “…and firm performance (Djankov and Hoekman, 2000; Conyon et al., 2001, 2002; Harris and Robinson, 2003; Bertrand and Zitouna, 2005; Girma, 2005; Benfratello and Sembenelli, 2006; Fukao et al., 2006; Girma and Görg, 2007a,b; Heymann et al., 2007; Arnold and Javorcik, 2009, just to name a few).”
- Gifted kids or pushy parents? Foreign acquisitions and plant performance in Indonesia (2005, unknown): “Using Italian data, Benfratello and Sembenelli (2002) provide evidence of a productivity advantage stemming from foreign ownership, but only in the case of subsidiaries of US multinationals.”
- Gifted Kids or Pushy Parents? Foreign Direct Investment and Plant Productivity in Indonesia (2009, background): “Harris and Robinson (2003) and Benfratello and Sembenelli (2006), using data from the UK and Italy, respectively, find that foreigners tend to acquire the best performing local firms and that foreign ownership does not lead in general to an improved performance of the acquired firm.”
- Foreign multinationals and domestic innovation: Intra-industry effects and firm heterogeneity (2015, background): “Only a few papers try to overcome this key limitation going beyond static panel data, exploiting GMM techniques to control for the endogeneity of the regressor of interest (Benfratello and Sembenelli, 2006; Driffield, 2006; Crespo et al., 2009).”
