Efficiency spillovers from foreign direct investment in the EU periphery: A comparative study of Greece, Ireland, and Spain (2004, methodology): “The Survey covers around 22% of total employment in manufacturing, see Barrios and Strobl (2002).”
Economic upgrading through global value chain participation: which policies increase the value-added gains? (2017, background): “Barrios and Strobl (2002) found that less sectoral competition, captured by a higher Hirschman-Herfindahl index, increases the productivity gains from FDI for Spain, pointing towards a lower incentive to improve.”
Determinant Factors of FDI Spillovers – What Do We Really Know? (2007, background): “In contrast to this relationship, it is suggested that domestic firms already exposed to foreign competition will probably have a greater capacity not only to absorb foreign technology but also, as emphasized by Barrios and Strobl (2002) and Schoors and van der Tol (2002), for countering the competi”
Much Ado About Nothing? Do Domestic Firms Really Benefit from Foreign Direct Investment? (2004, background): “In a similar vein, Barrios and Strobl (2002) find little evidence for any aggregate horizontal spillovers from MNEs in their firm level panel for Spanish manufacturing.”
A Spatial Approach To Measure Productivity Spillovers Of Foreign Affiliated Firms In Turkish Manufacturing Industries (2012, background): “Barrios and Strobl (2002) support the importance of firm-industry fixed effects and find positive spillovers of foreign presence on domestic ones.”
Multinational Companies, Technology Spillovers and Plant Survival (2016, unknown): “For instance, in their study of Spain, Barrios and Strobl (2002) find that only domestic firms that were likely to be more technologically advanced, as proxied by the incidence of R&D and/or exporting activity, benefited from foreign presence in Spain.”
Spillovers from Foreign Firms Through Worker Mobility: An Empirical Investigation (2005, unknown): “While this 8 measure has been commonly used in the literature on spillovers from foreign direct investment (e.g., Kokko, 1994; Barrios and Strobl, 2002) it captures only one aspect of productivity improvements.”
Foreign Direct Investment, Spillovers and Absorptive Capacity: Evidence from Quantile Regressions (2005, unknown): “Barrios and Strobl (2002) also take R&D active domestic firms as having absorptive capacity.”
