“…Thus MNE clusters do not necessarily generate a local LE cluster. These results are broadly consistent with those of Barrios et al (2002), but less so with Barrios et al (2003) who find that MNEs have had an impact on the location choices of LEs 22…”

Ireland's success in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) provides guidance for emerging economies. The key to Ireland's success is its consistency of policy towards FDI. Ireland's success suggests that emerging countries should be proactive in seeking FDI, offer a package of incentives that is enterprise-centred yet is sufficiently selective to build self-sustaining clusters. Policy consistency is important to inward investors and this can be traded off against selectivity and monitoring of performance.

“…Forfás defines foreign plants as plants where 50 per cent or more of the shares are owned by foreign shareholders. While, arguably, plants with lower foreign ownership could possibly still be considered foreign owned, this is not necessarily a problem for the case of Ireland since almost all foreign direct investment has corresponded to Greenfield investment rather than acquisition of local 4 In recent contributions, Barrios et al (2005b and2006) show that foreign presence has induced indigenous plant entry within the same regions and in neighbouring regions in Ireland.…”

AbstractWe study the coagglomeration of domestic plants and foreign multinationals and the impact of this on domestic plant productivity and employment using data for Irish manufacturing. Relying on a recently developed index we find that coagglomeration has been important for a number of industries. Our econometric analysis reveals that local foreign presence has indeed resulted in productivity spillovers to domestic plants, although only in those industries where there has been coagglomeration. Further evidence suggests that these spillovers have also resulted in more jobs.JEL classification: F23, R3, Q40
