| ''How do South-South and North-South FDI affect total factor productivity growth in developing countries?'' |
| ( 2017, Vol. 37 No.1 ) |
| |
| |
| This study uses a unique dataset to examine not only the effect of total FDI on TFP growth in a large sample of developing countries but also, and especially, the productivity growth effects of South-South versus North-South FDI. It is found that total FDI has a significant positive effect on TFP growth in developing countries. However, this effect is driven by North-South FDI; while South-South FDI is insignificant and sometimes negative, North-South FDI exerts a statistically significant positive effect on TFP growth in developing countries. |
