本文探讨了外国直接投资（FDI）和信息通信技术（ICT）对生产率增长的可能影响。分析所依据的是1993-2001年期间42个发展中国家和发达国家抽样的小组数据。增长核算结果表明，信通技术对发达国家和发展中国家的增长贡献都很大。相反，外国直接投资的贡献相对较低。计量经济学的结果表明，信通技术对所有群体都产生了积极和重大的影响，发展中国家的影响更大。发达国家集团的外国直接投资产生了积极和重大的影响，发展中国家集团的外国直接投资产生了积极但微不足道的影响。
This article investigates for possible effects stemming from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on productivity growth. The analysis is based on panel data covering a sample of 42 developing and developed countries during the period 1993-2001. The growth accounting results indicate that the growth contribution of ICT was quite high for both developed and developing countries. On the contrary, the FDI contribution was relatively low. The econometric results showed a positive and significant impact of ICT in all groups, the effect being larger among developing countries. Positive and significant FDI effects were found in the group of developed countries, and positive but insignificant, among the developing ones.
