Abstract

Many countries strive to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in the hope that knowledge brought by multinationals will spill over to domestic industries and increase their productivity.In contrast with earlier literature that failed to find positive intra-industry spillovers from FDI, this study focuses on effects operating across industries.The analysis, based on a firm-level panel data set from Lithuania, produces evidence consistent with positive productivity spillovers from FDI taking place through contacts between foreign affiliates and their local suppliers in upstream sectors.The data indicate that such spillovers are associated with projects with shared domestic and foreign ownership but not with fully owned foreign investments.There is no indication of spillovers occurring within the same industry or through domestic firms sourcing inputs from multinationals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
