Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth of Pakistan (2013, result): “Similar results were found by Agosin and Mayer (2000) [19] and Sylwester (2005) [20].”
FDI and Income Inequality: Evidence from a Panel of U.S. States (2012, unknown): “First, the time dimension of the panel data is rather short, notably in the study of Taylor and Driffield (2005). Second, the analyses are restricted to the manufacturing sector, even though FDI in the services sector is quantitatively important and may have different distributional effects.”
Foreign Direct investment, domestic investment, and economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (2009, background): “For example, the Sylwester (2005) study sample is made up of 29 countries with only two countries (Tanzania and South Africa) from SSA, and Fry (1993) had only one country (Nigeria) from Sub-Saharan Africa.”
The Effects Of Foreign Direct Investment On The Host Country'S Economic Growth: Theory And Empirical Evidence (2013, background): “According to Sylwester (2005), multinationals attract more easily the more 10 skilled workers, either through its economic power either through better career possibilities, are able to offer, removing them from local firms or hindering them to capture these workers.”
FDI and income inequality in Africa (2018, background): “Similarly, Milanovic (2002), Sylwester (2005) did not find any robust links between FDI and income distribution.”
Can foreign direct investment (FDI) help to promote growth in Africa (2009, background): “For example, while Ndikumana and Verick (2008), Sylwester (2005) and Lumbila (2005) show that FDI has significant positive effect on economic growth, others give evidence to the contrary (Dutt, 1997; Fry, 1993; Hermes and Lensink, 2003).”
