159 There exist two opposing views in development economics regarding the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on a host country’s industrial development. According to one view, multinationals are seen as agents that increase competition in the host economy, transfer modern technology, and help achieve a more efficient allocation of resources. Furthermore, this optimistic view argues that inward FDI pushes the process of industrial development forward by creating linkages with the rest of the economy.1 This view is challenged by those that are concerned about the substantial market power enjoyed by multinationals and the negative effects that can arise from such market power. In this chapter, we develop a simple model that explores FDI’s effect on backward linkages and that accommodates both of these preceding views. The model considers the effects of a multinational’s entry that enjoys market power and also transfers technology to the local economy. We also provide a detailed discussion of the existing analytical work on FDI and backward linkages in order to highlight the contribution made by our model and to indicate avenues for future research. Basically, we argue that the degree to which FDI creates linkages with the rest of the economy should be a function of the technology transferred 7
