Technological Spillovers From FDI : Evidence from Tunisian Manufacturing Firms
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in developing countries is expected to foster technology transfer from foreign-owned to local firms. Using detailed panel data from Tunisian manufacturing firms, we show that technological spillovers generated by FDI, as a form of technology transfer, help firms move near the best practice frontier (production frontier) measured by the Schmidt and Sickles method....
متن کاملDoes licensing induce technological spillovers to domestic firms ?
Productivity differences can explain differences in economic growth across countries. It has been demonstrated that the presence of a foreign-owned multinational enterprise (MNE) in a developing country is one of the most important methods through which technology transfer occurs. This presence could be in the form of foreign direct investment (FDI), licensing, or imports from the developing co...
متن کاملAbsorptive capacity, technological opportunity, knowledge spillovers, and innovative effort
This paper analyses the influence of two variables related with industrial structure (technological opportunity and knowledge spillovers) and one management variable (absorptive capacity) on the innovative efforts developed by firms. These relationships are investigated in a total of 406 Spanish manufacturing companies with an established degree of innovative activity. In addition the nature of...
متن کاملMultinationals , Endogenous Growth and Technological Spillovers : Theory and Evidence
FDI has received surprisingly little attention in theoretical and empirical work on openness and growth. This paper presents a theoretical growth model where MNCs directly affect the endogenous growth rate via technological spillovers. This is novel since other endogenous growth models with MNCs, e.g. the Grossman-Helpman model, assume away the knowledge-spillovers aspect of FDI. We also presen...
متن کاملEndogenous Cartel Formation with Heterogeneous Firms∗
In the context of an infinitely repeated capacity-constrained price game, we endogenize the composition of a cartel when firms are heterogeneous in their capacities. When firms are sufficiently patient, there exists a stable cartel involving the largest firms. A firm with sufficiently small capacity is not a member of any stable cartel. When a cartel is not all-inclusive, colluding firms set a ...
