• Determinants of foreign direct investment in fast-growing economies: evidence from the BRICS and MINT countries (2018, unknown): “…literature on FDI spillovers is largely motivated by the theoretical insights that spillovers take many forms, inter alia: better working methods, good management skills, more employment, domestic financial development and higher productivity gains (Javorcik, 2004; Asongu & De Moor, 2017).”
• Capital Flows, Exchange Rate Flexibility, and the Real Exchange Rate (2012, unknown): “The spillover effects of FDI may also improve local productive capacity through transfer of technology and managerial know-how (Javorcik, 2004).”
• Does FDI Cause Development? The Ambiguity of the Evidence and Why it Matters (2012, unknown): “That is, whether inward FDI include inter-industry effects, seeking to proxy supply chain linkages between MNEs and local suppliers with for example input-output tables, to then infer upstream or downstream effects (Smarzynska-Javorcik, 2004, Driffield et al 2002).”
• Innovation and Economic Development (2009, unknown): “17 They do not include studies dealing with vertical spillovers, such as Smarzynska Javorcik, 2004, and Damijan and Knell, 2005.”
• Foreign direct investment in services and manufacturing productivity growth: evidence for Chile (2008, unknown): “Our services FDI linkage measure draws upon the measures used by Javorcik (2004), Blalock and Gertler (2008), and Arnold et al. (2007a), but differs from those by 22 These groups of services are dictated by the availability of sectoral GDP from the Chilean Central Bank.”
• Analysis of Productivity Differences among Foreign and Domestic Firms: Evidence from Germany (2008, unknown): “Nevertheless the LP remains one of the most popular approaches in the literature (see for example Smarzynska Javorcik 2004; Griffith et al. 2006), as none of these extensions or alternatives has yet to emerge as superior in all cases.”
• Foreign direct investments, institutional quality, and economic growth (2019, unknown): “…De Gregorio, and Lee 1998), economic stability and liberal markets (Bengoa and Sanchez-Robles 2003), trade liberalization (Balasubramanyam, Salisu, and Sapsford 1996), technology gap between the host and origin country (Havranek and Irsova 2011) and shared ownership of the FDI firm (Javorcik 2004).”
• The Impact of FDI on Economic Growth: Some Evidence from Southeast Europe (2013, unknown): “…and well-developed production-related linkages with foreign firms have significantly contributed to transition economies’ productivity and output increases, and have enhanced the product, process, or market access–related competences of local firms (Damijan et al. 2005, 2008; Smarzynska 2003).”
• Internationalization and Economic Performance of Enterprises: Evidence from Firm-Level Data (2011, unknown): “Following Smarzynska-Javorcik (2004), our estimated regression is written in differences, which is aimed at removing any firm or region specific fixed factors that may be correlated with both firm productivity and foreign presence.”
• Does FDI Bring Good Jobs to Host Countries? (2012, unknown): “An exception is Javorcik (2004), who made some progress toward this goal by controlling for the demand from foreign affiliates based in downstream sectors.”
• Selection and Market Reallocation: Productivity Gains from Multinational Production (2012, unknown): “…source of company information and business intelligence and is extensively used by empirical rm-level studies in international trade, foreign direct investment, and other elds (see, for example, Javorcik, 2004; and more recently, Bloom, Sadun, and Van Reenen, 2012; Bloom et al., forthcoming).”
