On the Estimation of Cross-Firm Productivity Spillovers with an Application to FDI

چکیده
Abstract We develop a novel methodology for the proxy variable identification of firm productivity in presence productivity-modifying learning and spillovers which facilitates unified "internally consistent" analysis spillover effects between firms. Contrary to popular two-step empirical approach, ours does not postulate contradictory assumptions about firmproductivity across estimation steps. Instead, we explicitly accommodate crosssectional dependence induced by both therein simultaneously. apply our model study cross-firm China's electric machinery manufacturing, with particular focus on inbound FDI.

Do Productivity Spillovers from Japanese and U.s. Fdi Differ?
FDI comes from different sources, with different levels of technology, different modes of transferring it and into different industries. The spillover effects of FDI may therefore differ. The paper attempts to study empirically the spillover effects of Japanese and U.S. FDI on the total factor productivity growth of the Indian firms, both at the firm and the industry level. The results show tha...
متن کاملEndogenous FDI Spillovers with Spillover-Prevention Costs
This paper aims to explore the role of spillovers in the strategic choice for a MNE in a duopoly model, especially focusing on endogenous FDI spillovers with spillover-prevention costs. After discussing the exogenous spillover case, this paper shows that with a quadratic spillover-prevention cost function, the FDI-performing firm may choose a positive level of spillovers, which is lower than th...
متن کاملFDI Spillovers in an Emerging Market: The Role of the Diversity of FDI Country Origins
Prior literature on foreign direct investment (FDI) spillovers has mainly focused on how the presence of FDI affects the productivity of domestic firms. In this study, we advance the literature by examining the effect of the diversity of FDI country origins on the productivity of domestic firms. We propose that the diversity of FDI country origins can facilitate FDI spillovers to domestic firms...
