The Effects of FDI Inflows on Host Country Economic Growth (2006, methodology): “Blonigen and Wang (2004) argue it is inappropriate to pool developing and developed economies when investigating the link between FDI and economic growth.”
The Impact of Horizontal and Vertical FDI on Host's Country Economic Growth (2008, unknown): “On top of the need to distinguish between samples (developed versus developing countries as argued and shown by Blonigen & Wang, 2005 ), our research suggests there may be substantial differences in type of FDI affecting the growth of host countries in different ways.”

The impact of ISO 9000 diffusion on trade and FDI: A new institutional analysis (2008, unknown): “In a recent paper, Blonigen and Wang (2004) focus directly on the question of whether it is appropriate to empirically pool data from different nations; moreover, they find that " the underlying factors that determine the level of FDI activity vary systematically across LDCs and DCs" (2004: 17).”
Robust FDI determinants: Bayesian Model Averaging in the presence of selection bias (2012, unknown): “Our results would be unchanged had we used, for instance, SSS. MOSS essentially reproduces results in Eicher et al., 2011, which had been obtained using either MC3 or the Leaps and Bounds.”
Foreign direct investment and the ease of doing business (2015, background): “The first split is motivated by Blonigen and Wang (2005) who show that the pooling of wealthy and poor countries in empirical FDI studies is inadvisable. The second split is along lines of dependence on natural resources. 5When we include the distance weighted Doing Business variables, market potent”
