“…We expect to find a strong relationship between regional growth and international trade (Soukiazis and Antunes, 2011). While a positive association is expected for exports (Kuo and Yang, 2008), it is unknown what kind of association will have imports with per capita GDP.…”

ABSTRACT. This paper aims to define the determinants of regional growth in Portugal, at the NUTS III level, in a time span between 1999 and 2010. A panel data approach is used as well as the fixed, random and pooled effects models, all of them with and without trend. The results from the panel data and the Hausman test show that the model that best portrays the reality under study is the panel data with random effects model. The performed analysis allowed us to confirm that employment, sectorial GVA, electricity consumption, number of museums and landline phone accesses have a positive association with the regional per capita GDP. Surprisingly, the number of residents, population density, number of medical doctors and technical progress presents a negative correlation instead.

“…While the existence of FIEs possessing advanced technology within the same industry is expected to stimulate productivity improvement of domestic firms through knowledge spillovers and competition pressure, 3 in developing countries where the 2 Whalley and Xin (2006) for example claim that foreign invested firms may have realized over 40% of China's economic growth in 2003 and, and the GDP growth rate might have been 3.4% points lower without FDI. Studies such as Berthelemy and Demurger (2000), Yao (2006), Kuo and Yang (2008) confirm significant contribution of FDI to China's provincial economic growth. Lai et al (2006) claim that FDI acted as a channel through which China absorbed International technology spillover.…”

Recently, Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIEs) in China have increased their investment in not only production activity but also R&D activity. This paper examines the impact of spillovers from such activities on two types of innovations by Chinese domestic firms: Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and invention patent application, using comprehensive industry and province-level data. We evaluate such spillovers according to FIEs' ownership structure, the origin of foreign funds, and the type of their activity: R&D, and production. We find an interesting asymmetry between spillovers to TFP and patent application：while we do not find significant intra-industry spillovers from FIEs, which is in line with previous studies, we find robust inter-industries spillover on TFP. On the other hand, we find substantial intra-industry spillovers promoting invention patent application but no evidence of inter-industries spillovers. Furthermore, whereas spillovers from FIEs to Chinese firms' TFP stem from their production activities, the source of spillovers to invention patent application is mostly through their R&D activity. Our findings indicate a need for multi-dimensional evaluation on the role of FDI in developing countries.Keywords: China, FDI spillovers, R&D, Innovation JEL classifications: O12;O3;F23;O53 This paper is one of the products of DRC-RIETI joint research.

“…The former has been widely discussed in the literature on the Chinese economy. For example, Wei and Liu (2006) examine productivity spill-overs from exports and foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Chinese manufacturing sector, Tian (2007) and investigate technology spill-overs from FDI and multinational corporations and Kuo and Yang (2008) analyse knowledge spillovers and regional economic growth. The innovation capacity and achievements of indigenous firms in China are, however, under-documented.…”
