Abstract

The paper examines the foreign direct investment (FDI) spillover effects in developing countries and investigates the importance of the absorptive capacity of a firm and a country in realizing and facilitating FDI spillover. It uses data obtained from the World Bank's Enterprise Surveys for 107 countries from 2007 to 2020. The study finds that firms in developing countries do not benefit from horizontal FDI but benefit from forward and backward vertical FDI. The study also finds that firms can benefit from horizontal, forward, and backward FDI by improving the absorptive capacity of firms and host countries. Based on these findings, several recommendations are presented to help firms benefit from FDI spillover.

Abstract

Summary: This paper examines the determinants of the backward vertical linkages of Japanese foreign affiliates in manufacturing for the period 1994–2000, focusing on the local backward linkages, or local procurement in the host country. Our major findings are twofold. First, the unobserved affiliate-specific characteristics explain the large part of the variation of the backward linkages among foreign affiliates. Second, the experience of the affiliate has positive and sometimes nonlinear effects on local procurement for the affiliates, especially in Southeast Asia and China. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
