TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY ESTIMATION: A PRACTICAL REVIEW (2012, neutral): “This estimate is somewhat higher than the result found by Konings (2001), who find a mark-up of 1.30 for the food and beverages industry in Belgium in the period 1992-1996.”
Do Foreign Firms Crowd Out Domestic Firms? Evidence from the Czech Republic (2010, neutral): “Studies in transitional economies show similar results: negative FDI spillovers were found in the Czech Republic (Djankov and Hoekman, 2000; Kinoshita, 2000; Sabirianova et al., 2005), Bulgaria, and Romania, but no spillovers were found in Poland (Konings, 2001).”
Testing for horizontal and vertical foreign investment spillovers in China, 1998–2007 (2012, background): “Most of these studies, such as papers by Haddad and Harrison (1993) on Morocco, Aitken and Harrison (1999) on Venezuela, and Konings (2001) on Bulgaria, Romania and Poland, either failed to find evidence of horizontal spillovers or reported negative horizontal spillover effects.”
Learning, product innovation, and firm heterogeneity in developing countries; Evidence from Tanzania (2007, background): “…spillovers from foreign firms to competing local firms in the same industry—(Aitkin and Harrison, 1999; Djankov and Hoekman, 2000; Konings, 2001), evidence of spillovers through backward linkages—from foreign firms to their local suppliers—is more likely to be observed and is…”
In Search of Environmental Spillovers (2009, background): “…1998; Blomström and Sloholm, 1999; Görg and Strobl, 2001; Haskel et al., 2002; Lipsey, 2002; and Görg and Greenaway, 2004, for developed countries; and Haddad and Harrison, 1993; Aitkin and Harrison, 1999; Djankov and Hoekman, 2000; and Konings, 2001, for developing and transition countries).”
Does Services Liberalization Benefit Manufacturing Firms? Evidence from the Czech Republic (2011, neutral): “Aitken and Harrison (1999), Djankov and Hoekman (2000), Konings (2001) and Javorcik (2004) find that the overall effect of these two forces is either negative or statistically insignificant, while Haskel, Pereira and Slaughter (2002) and Keller and Yeaple (2003) find a positive effect.”
Identifying FDI spillovers (2017, background): “These results further confirm the findings in the literature (e.g., Aitken and Harrison, 1999; Konings, 2001) that the presence of FDI in the same industry hurts the productivity levels of domestic firms.”
When and where does foreign direct investment generate positive spillovers? A meta-analysis (2009, background): “Liu (2002) in China, Yudaeva et al. (2003) in Russia and Sinani and Meyer (2004) in Estonia find positive effects, while other studies find negative effects in Bulgaria, Romania (Konings, 2001) and the Czech Republic (Djankov and Hoekman, 2000).”
Fdi, Growth And The Environment: Evidence From India On Co2 Emission During The Last Two Decades (2009, background): “While some studies observe a positive impact of FDI on economic growth, others detect a negative relationship between these two variables (Aitkin and Harrison (1999), Djankov and Hoekman (2000), Damijan et al. (2001), Konings (2001) , Castellani and Zanfei (2002a, 2002b), and Zukowska-Gagemann (200”
Spillovers and competition among foreign and local firms in China (2008, background): “Konings (2001), again with firm-level data, found FDI had a negative impact on local firms’ productivity in Bulgaria and Romania.”
The impact of knowledge spillovers and innovation on firm-performance: findings from the Balkans countries (2017, result): “Even though some studies do not show a strong positive influence of FDIs (Aitken and Harrison 1999; Haddad and Harrison 1993; Konings 2001), still majority of studies prove a strong effects of the existence of FDI on knowledge spillovers (Chang and Xu 2008; Globerman et al. 2000).”
Does inward foreign direct investment improve the innovative performance of local firms (2013, background): “And what little we do know generally addresses the impact of inward FDI on the total factor, or labor, productivity of local firms (Aitken and Harrison, 1999; Blalock and Simon, 2009; Chung et al., 2003; Haddad and Harrison, 1993; Javorcik, 2004; Konings, 2001).”
Heterogeneous MNC subsidiaries and technological spillovers: Explaining positive and negative effects in India (2010, methodology): “One strand of literature, for instance, has focused on the heterogeneity among local recipient firms, studying their capacity to absorb knowledge spillovers from FDI (Kokko, 1994; Konings, 2001; Girma, 2005).”
Foreign Ownership and Productivity in the United Kingdom Estimates for U.K. Manufacturing Using the ARD (2003, positive): “More recently, Konings (2000) adopted a similar approach to that of Aitken and Harrison (op. cit.) to explore the impact of foreign direct investment on domestic firms in Poland, Bulgaria and Romania.”
Corporate Governance Reforms Around the World and Cross-Border Acquisitions (2013, neutral): “, Djankov and Hoekman, 2000; Javorcik, 2004; Konings, 2001; Sabirianova et al., 2005). The cherry picking phenomenon, however, seems to be unique to emerging markets with weak IP. Bloom et al. (2012), for example, find no evidence foreign acquirers cherry pick targets in the U.”
Spillovers from Multinationals to Heterogeneous Domestic Firms: Evidence from Hungary (2009, positive): “According to Aitken & Harrison (1999) and Konings (2001) , negative horizontal spillovers arise when multinational flrms attract demand away from domestic flrms.”
