The impact of foreign direct investment on labour productivity in the Chinese electronics industry

Abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) may have a positive impact on labour productivity in recipient industries through direct introduction of capital, technology and management skills and indirectly through spillover effects on domestic firms. This study uses a model intended to examine the overall effects of inward FDI in the Chinese electronics industry. A panel data set is used for 41 sub-sectors of the industry in 1996 and 1997 having differing levels of FDI. Labour productivity is modelled as dependent on the … Show more

“…From the industrial perspective, researchers find a significant and positive relationship between FDI and Chinese industrial development (Liu and Buck, 2007;Liu et al, 2001;Liu, 2002;Liu and Wang, 2003;Gao, 2004) 10 . Hu and Jefferson (2002) point out that FDI has a strong positive impact on the productivity of the firms directly receiving FDI, but that the spillover effects from FDI in an industry are negative for its domestic firms.…”

“…In the first place, FDI increases capital accumulation in the receiving country by introducing new inputs and technologies (Dunning, 1993;Blomstrom et al, 1996;Borensztein et al, 1998;Saggi, 2002;Kemeni, 2010). In the second place, it tends to raise the level of knowledge and skills in the host country through labor and manager training (de Mello, 1996(de Mello, , 1999Liu et al, 2001;Hansen and Rand, 2006). In the third place, FDI can increase competition in the host country industry by overcoming entry barriers and reducing the market power of existing firms (Chung, 2001;Bitzer and Görg, 2009;Nicolini ad Resmini, 2010;Damijan et al, 2013).…”

“…Inward FDI in the People's Republic of China (PRC) is the center of research attention (Coe, Helpman, and Hoffmaister 1997;Li, Liu, and Parker 2001;Liu et al 2001;Wei and Liu 2001;Buckley, Clegg, and Wang 2002;Hu and Jefferson 2002;Liu 2002;Huang 2004). The common factor in these studies is that the absorption capacity of the host country performs a critical role in the efficacy of FDI spillover.…”
