BNET
- 2006-03-06
A new and rapidly expanding literature on firm heterogeneity and firm level globalisation strategies has developed over the last decade. New insights on why some firms export and others do not, why some firms fail to survive in export markets, whilst others do and why some choose to produce overseas...
Productivity Distributions In International Oligopolies: Spillovers, Technology Transfer, And Heterogeneous FDI
BNET
- 2006-02-20
Foreign-owned firms exhibit widely-documented productivity advantages over domestic firms. To interpret this stylized fact, we model the relationships between FDI flows and national productivity distributions across firms in an international oligopoly. Industrial structure is determined endogenously, and both greenfield- and acquisition-FDI are allowed for. The technology gap between firms interacts...
Industrial Linkages And Export Spillovers From FDI
BNET
- 2005-09-02
This paper investigates the hypothesis of export spillovers from foreign multinationals to domestic firms using a data set of UK manufacturing firms from 1992 to 1999. Unlike previous studies the authors allow not only for the possibility of horizontal (i.e. intra-industry) and regional externalities, but also for vertical ones (i.e....

Foreign Direct Investment Under R&D Competition
BNET
- 2004-10-15
We consider the preferences of a foreign firm and a welfare maximizing host country government for foreign direct investment through direct entry and acquisition in presence of innovation by the firms. We find that relatively superior technology is always used under acquisition. Though profits are higher under acquisition, consumers are...

BNET
- 2004-08-04
This paper examines Foreign Direct Investment in the presence of labour unions. An oligopoly model is developed in which identical firms locate in a host country in order to export to a foreign country. These firms are unionised and compete with foreign firms on the foreign market. We consider the...
Foreign Direct Investment And Productivity Growth: A Survey Of Theory
BNET
- 2004-06-21
This paper analyses several theoretical perspectives on the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment FDI flows and 'Productivity growth', interpreted as growth in Total Factor Productivity TFP. We begin with general equilibrium models. An open economy version of Solow's famous (1956) growth model is developed, where North-to-South FDI flows both equalize...
Foreign Direct Investment And Local Economic Development: Beyond Productivity Spillovers
BNET
- 2004-05-27
We investigate how multinational companies can foster economic development of the host country at the micro level. Traditionally the empirical literature measuring spillovers to the host economy arising from foreign direct investment has focused on productivity spillovers, i.e., technological externalities. In this paper we emphasise that pecuniary externalities from multinationals...
