Do local manufacturing firms benefit from transactional linkages with multinational enterprises in China? (2009, methodology): “Wei and Liu (2006) suggest that the spillover effects may depend partially on the way foreign presence is measured because each of the indicators identified in the literature (equity capital, employment, R&D, exports, sales and output) may capture a different aspect of spillover effects.”
Innovation and international business (2017, background): “In recent times research has been revived on the local knowledge spillovers generated by foreign-owned firms in host locations (see e.g. Perez 1997; Liu, Siler, Wang and Wei 2000; Blomström, Kokko and Globerman 2001; Cantwell and Piscitello 2005; Wei and Liu 2006; Driffield and Love 2006, 2007).”
Foreign direct investment and wage inequality : evidence from China (2011, background): “Wei and Liu (2006) find that FDI creates positive intra- and inter-industry productivity spillovers.”
Knowledge spillovers through human mobility across national borders: Evidence from Zhongguancun Science Park in China (2011, background): “Intensive studies have examined the impact of FDI-related spillovers on productivity and innovation of local firms (Hejazi and Safarian, 1999; Chuang and Hsu, 2004; Branstetter, 2006; Wei and Liu, 2006; Liu and Buck, 2007).”
The multinational enterprise as a source of international knowledge flows: Direct evidence from Italy (2010, background): “Empirical analysis within the OLI framework has generally tested for technology transfer by inference, largely based on the extent to which the presence of foreign investors in a given location generates productivity growth in the domestic sector (Haskel et al 2007; Wei and Liu 2006).”
When does FDI matter? The roles of local institutions and ethnic origins of FDI (2013, background): “While ethnic-linked FDI possesses ownership advantages in the application of standardized and mature technologies, non-ethnic-linked FDI employs state-of-the-art technologies with heavy reliance on R&D to produce innovative and differentiated products (Wei & Liu, 2006).”
LINKING THEORY AND CONTEXT: "STRATEGY RESEARCH IN EMERGING ECONOMIES" AFTER WRIGHT ET AL. (2005) (2012, unknown): “For instance, researchers found that MNEs from Western countries benefited Chinese firms more than FDI from the Greater China Regions (Wei and Liu, 2006), and that such difference is more pronounced in low-technology industries (Buckley et al., 2007).”
Managerial ties, absorptive capacity, and innovation (2008, background): “It is widely believed that, in China, FDI corporations have invested more in R&D activities and that they possess more advanced technologies than local corporations ( Wei & Liu, 2006 ).”
Managerial ties, knowledge acquisition, realized absorptive capacity and new product market performance of emerging multinational companies: A case of China (2011, background): “In addition, as active recipients of foreign investment from developed countries, emerging economies also benefit from the technology transfer from foreign MNCs as cooperating partners (e.g., Buckley, Clegg, & Wang, 2002; Buckley, Wang, & Clegg, 2007; Wei & Liu, 2006).”
Multinational corporations’ economic and human rights impacts on developing countries: a review and research agenda (2014, background): “…Kokko, 1994; Blomstrom et al., 1994 for Mexico; Sjoholm, 1999 for Indonesia; Javorcik, 2004b for Lithuania; Takii, 2005 for Indonesia; Wei and Liu, 2006 for China; Javorcik and Spatareanu, 2009 for the Czech Republic) and the case-study literature finds positive effects of MNC subsidiaries…”
