Foreign multinationals and domestic innovation: Intra-industry effects and firm heterogeneity (2015, background): “Finally, labour market effects are mainly mediated by inter-firm labour and human capital mobility within the sector (Driffield and Taylor, 2000; Fosfuri et al., 2001; Gorg and Strobl, 2005).”
Estimating Direct and Indirect Effects of Foreign Direct Investment on Firm Productivity in the Presence of Interactions between Firms (2014, background): “As discussed by Fosfuri et al. (2001), domestic workers may be hired by foreign firms (which possess superior technology) and then trained to be able to use the up-to-date technology.”
Knowledge spillovers and new ventures’ export orientation (2008, background): “Prior work on the role of spillovers also devotes particular attention to inward FDI, in which knowledge flows from foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) to the host country’s domestic firms are studied (e.g., Feinberg and Majumdar 2001; Fosfuri et al. 2001).”
Should Countries Promote Foreign Direct Investment (2001, background): “If multinationals bring new technology into an economy, then local firms may benefit by being able to hire workers whose training costs have in effect been paid by the multinational (Motta et al., 1999).”
FDI Spillovers and Time Since Foreign Entry (2014, neutral): “Teece (1977) suggests two main channels for horizontal spillovers: technology imitation (the demonstration effect) and mobility of workers trained by foreign firms (see also Fosfuri et al., 2001, and Görg and Strobl, 2005).”
Creative supply-chain linkages and innovation: Do the creative industries stimulate business innovation in the wider economy? (2009, background): “Research on knowledge transfer through worker mobility has mainly focused on foreign direct investment (Fosfuri et al. 2001; Glass & Saggi 2002; Gorg & Strobl 2005).”
Cross sectoral FDI spillovers and their impact on manufacturing productivity (2018, background): “Worker mobility may be another source of knowledge spillovers as the MNCs are likely to provide host country workforce with more training, education and valuable work experience (Fosfuri et al., 2001; Glass and Saggi, 2002; Smeets, 2008; Markusen and Trofimenko, 2009).”
Multinational Enterprises, International Trade, and Productivity Growth: Firm-Level Evidence from the United States (2003, positive): “…be associated with spillovers for domestic firms because workers that embody the knowledge of the MNE affiliate can be attracted to domestic firms (Fosfuri, Motta, and Rønde 2001), because multinationals give access to new specialized intermediate inputs (Rodriguez-Clare’ 1996), or because…”
