Abstract

Surprisingly, relatively little is known about foreign-controlled firms’ activities in the German economy, although Germany is one of the most important FDI inflow countries worldwide. Recently, a new database on foreign ownership became available in the framework of German official statistics. The first econometric analyses of this database find evidence for the superior productivity and significantly lower profitability of foreign firms compared to their German counterparts. Furthermore, foreign takeovers are on average followed by much larger employment declines than German takeovers and show no productivity improvements.
