abstract:the analysis suggests significant differences between types of spillovers: export orientation of domestic firms mainly influences fdi spillovers by intensity; the capability gap between local and foreign firms influences spillovers by efficiency; and the growth of local firms influences both types of spillovers. this paper develops existing models of fdi and suggests that disaggregating spillovers types may provide important theoretical and policy insights.
