Do Foreign Firms Crowd Out Domestic Firms? Evidence from the Czech Republic
Author: Renata Kosova
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This paper analyzes the impact of foreign presence on growth and survival of domestic firms. I separate the two opposing effects of foreign presence: a negative "crowding out" and positive "technology spillovers" and further analyze whether the crowding out effect is dynamic, i.e. domestic firms cut production over time as foreign firms grow, or a static effect realized upon foreign entry into the industry. Using 1994-2001 firm-level panel data for the Czech Republic my results show evidence of both technology spillovers and crowding out effects. However, crowding out appears to be a short-term or static effect: initial foreign entry increases the exit rate of domestic firms. Subsequently, however, the sales growth of the foreign firms in the industry increases both the growth rate and survival of domestic firms. Additional analyses indicate that this positive foreign growth effect represents domestic demand-creation. My estimates also show that all the positive externalities from FDI offset initial crowding out effect already in 2 years. Moreover, I also find that there are no long run benefits from competition of other domestic firms. Further analyses also show that domestic firms in the technologically advanced industries are the primary beneficiaries of technology spillovers.

ISBN: 1136672648
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
This book provides an insightful exploration of whether foreign direct investment (FDI) can promote the productivity of domestic enterprises. The book is based on a series of dedicated research conducted in the context of the Chinese economy, which has been the largest FDI host among the developing economies since 1993. The main themes of this book are (a) based on the latest literature and first-hand research, outlining possible mechanisms through which foreign direct investment could promote the productivity of domestic enterprises; (b) developing a comprehensive research framework to quantify the spillover effects with cutting-edge methodology; (c) constructing a decision support system for evaluating FDI policy reforms with advanced computer simulation techniques; (d) evaluating the broader impact of FDI spillovers on banking system and trade pattern. The book examines topical economic issues in the contemporary world economy from innovative perspectives, namely, how the presence of multinational enterprises has been one of the most important microeconomic drivers for the Chinese economy, how foreign banks have helped to enable Chinese banking system survive the global financial crisis, and how the domestic enterprises have learned to do exports from multinational affiliates and have changed the landscape of U.S.-Asian trade. The book incorporates the latest development of economic theory as well as computational economics model.

The Effects of Taxation on Multinational Corporations
Author: Martin Feldstein
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226241874
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
The tax rules of the United States and other countries have intended and unintended effects on the operations of multinational corporations, influencing everything from the formation and allocation of capital to competitive strategies. The growing importance of international business has led economists to reconsider whether current systems of taxing international income are viable in a world of significant capital market integration and global commercial competition. In an attempt to quantify the effect of tax policy on international investment choices, this volume presents in-depth analyses of the interaction of international tax rules and the investment decisions of multinational enterprises. Ten papers assess the role played by multinational firms and their investment in the U.S. economy and the design of international tax rules for multinational investment; analyze channels through which international tax rules affect the costs of international business activities; and examine ways in which international tax rules affect financing decisions of multinational firms. As a group, the papers demonstrate that international tax rules have significant effects on firms' investment and other financing decisions.

Productivity Convergence
Author: Edward N. Wolff
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107651212
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 537
Book Description
A vast new literature on the sources of economic growth has now accumulated. This book critically reviews the most significant works in this field and summarizes what is known today about the sources of economic growth. The first part discusses the most important theoretical models that have been used in modern growth theory as well as methodological issues in productivity measurement. The second part examines the long-term record on productivity among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, considers the sources of growth among them with particular attention to the role of education, investigates convergence at the industry level among them, and examines the productivity slowdown of the 1970s. The third part looks at the sources of growth among non-OECD countries. Each chapter emphasizes the factors that appear to be most important in explaining growth performance.
