发展中国家的决策者将吸引外国直接投资放在议程的重要位置,期望外国直接投资流入为本国经济带来新技术和专门知识,这将有助于提高国内产业的生产力和竞争力。许多国家的政府不仅对跨国公司实行国民待遇,还通过补贴和免税期为外国公司提供比国内公司更优惠的条件。作为这种特殊待遇的经济理由,政策制定者经常提到外国直接投资通过对国内公司的生产力外溢而产生的积极外部效应。尽管对公共政策选择很重要,但国内企业是否受益于外国企业在其国家的存在,却没有什么确凿的证据。根据公司一级的小组数据进行的研究,审查国内公司的生产率是否与外国公司在其部门的存在程度相关,往往得出好坏参半的结果,往往没有发现在发展中国家有重大影响。然而,纵向溢出效应,即通过跨国公司与其当地中间投入供应商之间的接触而产生的溢出效应,情况则较为乐观。新的研究(例如,Javorcik 2004 b)表明,国内企业的生产率与跨国公司在下游产业的存在呈正相关。
Policymakers in developing countries place attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) high on their agenda, expecting FDI inflows to bring new technologies and know-how to their economy, which will help increase the productivity and competitiveness of domestic industries. Many governments go beyond national treatment of multinationals by offering foreign companies, through subsidies and tax holidays, more favorable conditions than those granted to domestic firms. As economic rationale for this special treatment, policymakers often cite positive externalities generated by FDI through productivity spillovers to domestic firms. Despite its importance to public policy choices, there is little conclusive evidence on whether domestic firms benefit from foreign presence in their country. Research based on firm-level panel data, which examines whether the productivity of domestic firms is correlated with the extent of foreign presence in their sector, tends to produce mixed results and often fails to find a significant effect in developing countries. However, the picture is more optimistic for vertical spillovers, namely those occurring through contact between multinationals and their local suppliers of intermediate inputs. New research (e.g., Javorcik 2004b) demonstrates that the productivity of domestic firms is positively correlated with the presence of multinationals in downstream industries.
