“…In fact, when searching for literature on productivity spillovers associated with the presence of FDI in Latin American economies, few studies were found, probably due to the lack of data. Thus, of the few studies listed in the paragraph above, most employed outdated data from the 1990s or early 2000s, and some of them address productivity-related topics such as export intensity and structural change in Latin American economies (Duran & Ryan, 2014;Mühlen & Escobar, 2019).…”

“…On the other hand, however, other works defend the existence of a negative relation (Beers and Panne, 2011;Bao et al, 2014). Lastly, still, other studies show that no relation exists between both variables (Narjoko, 2009;Duran and Ryan, 2014). By employing a meta-analysis, considered a useful objective technique to shed light when the established literature offers contradictory results (Guzzo et al, 1987) we can report a high probability of finding positive effects independently of the nature of the export spillover and the level of development of the country.…”

Purpose This paper analyzes the available literature on export spillovers from foreign direct investment (FDI) and their effects on domestic firms’ export activities. The purpose of this paper is to advance our knowledge of whether export spillovers from FDI exist, and if so if they differ according to the institutional context of the targeted markets (developed vs emerging markets). Design/methodology/approach Drawing from the pioneering work of Aitken et al. (1997), the authors develop a meta-analysis using a selection of 73 studies for the period 1997–2018, including a wide range of developed and emerging markets. Findings The meta-analysis confirms a high probability of finding positive effects when studying the different types of spillovers. The authors also show that the type of export spillover depends on the institutional context. Spillovers drive a complementary effect which generates more direct commercial links between domestic firms and foreign multinationals for advanced economies, whereas for emerging markets the nature of the spillover generates a competition/imitation effect that pressures domestic firms to be better inserted into foreign markets. In emerging markets, local governments play a fundamental role in accompanying the local industry, not only with investments in infrastructure and training of human capital but also in the configuration of an institutional environment that favors this type of indirect linkages. In developed countries, two business strategies are particularly important as catalytic axes of competitive upgrading at the international level: cooperation agreements between domestic and foreign firms and integration. These processes of concentration are necessary to compete globally, and therefore, governments should promote this type of strategies. Originality/value The study offers an original classification of the different types of spillovers based on the different channels through which MNE help local firms to improve their export performance and shows which specific spillover is associated with the different level of country development. These results have important implications in terms of theory development and managerial and policy implications.

“…In addition, the available evidence does not suggest any moderating role of country-specific regulations on business, investment, financial or labour issues (Farole & Winkler, 2014). In contrast, the occurrence of export spillovers has been identified for countries as diverse as Chile (Duran & Ryan, 2014), Venezuela (Aitken & Harrison, 1999), China (Chen et al, 2013), Poland (Cieslik & Hagemejer, 2014) and Vietnam (Anwar and Nguyen, 2011) 18 .…”

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the extant knowledge linking activities of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and structural change in developing countries. The balance of payments approach, which focuses on investment, is criticized. The exact configuration of the MNE will result from the interaction between the ownership of assets of the firm and the location-specific assets of countries, and the extent to which the firm perceives it to be in its best interest to organize these assets within the firm boundaries, that is, to internalize the market. The East Asian experiences suggest that FDI is just one of the possible vehicles of knowledge acquisition, and that the investment development path could be redefined in terms of technological catching-up. Cross-country differences in the FDI–structural change nexus seem to be associated with the financial development and the level of control of corruption of the countries but not with trade openness.
