本文基于2000年至2020年期间的期刊出版物，对新兴国家和发展中国家跨国企业（MNE）与结构转型之间关系的文献进行了综述。跨国公司对外和对内的外国直接投资都被认为对结构变化具有强大的潜在影响，表现为知识转让和能力提升、生产力增长、出口促进、工业多样化和服务部门增长。随着数字技术的迅速发展和传播，服务部门和数字经济中的多国企业也可能为发展中国家在服务部门迎头赶上打开机会之窗。然而，这些影响的强度和迹象主要取决于（1）多国企业和东道国的特点，（2）多国企业和东道国的相容性。政策和管理的影响进行了讨论。还确定了一组未来研究的领域。
This paper presents a review of the literature concerning the relationship between multinational enterprises (MNEs) and structural transformation in emerging and developing countries based on journal publications over the 2000 to 2020 period. Both outward and inward foreign direct investment by multinationals were found to have strong potential implications for structural change, in the form of knowledge transfer and capabilities upgrading, productivity growth, export promotion, industrial diversification and service sector growth. With rapid development and diffusion of digital technologies, MNEs in the service sector and the digital economy may also open windows of opportunity for developing countries to catch-up in the service sector. The strength and sign of these effects were, however, dependent most prominently on (1) the characteristics of the MNEs and the host countries and (2) the compatibility of the MNEs and the host country. Policy and managerial implications are discussed. A set of areas for future research are also identified.
