The temporal and spatial dynamics of FDI productivity spillovers: A technology gap perspective
An emerging literature estimates the productivity spillovers of foreign direct investment (FDI), but the temporal and spatial dynamics and the impact of the technology gap on FDI productivity spillover are insufficiently investigated. To provide a more comprehensive estimate for the international policy analysis, the study estimates the effects by utilizing the sample of 53 "Belt and Road" Initiative countries over the period 2003–2020 and captures the temporal and spatial dynamics of FDI productivity spillovers conditional on the technology gap. Moreover, the channels of FDI spillovers on productivity are investigated. The study reveals significant contributions of Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) -induced spillovers to the host countries' productivity growth by facilitating transformations in industrial and labour structures, alongside optimizing capital allocation. Nonetheless, spillover effects diminish with widening technology gaps, especially when exceeding a certain threshold. Temporal analysis indicates a strengthening trend in productivity spillovers over time. The spatial analysis demonstrates that Chinese OFDI exhibits negative spatial spillover effects, indicating the presence of competitive dynamics in attracting foreign capital.
期刊介绍:
Economic Systems is a refereed journal for the analysis of causes and consequences of the significant institutional variety prevailing among developed, developing, and emerging economies, as well as attempts at and proposals for their reform. The journal is open to micro and macro contributions, theoretical as well as empirical, the latter to analyze related topics against the background of country or region-specific experiences. In this respect, Economic Systems retains its long standing interest in the emerging economies of Central and Eastern Europe and other former transition economies, but also encourages contributions that cover any part of the world, including Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, or Africa.
