Abstract

DRIFFIELD N. (2006) On the search for spillovers from foreign direct investment (FDI) with spatial dependency, Regional Studies 40, 107--119. This paper examines various specifications that are used within the literature to test for spillovers from foreign direct investment (FDI). Analysis provides significant evidence of externalities from inward FDI, but it shows that these externalities are more localized than has previously been believed. Further, the results demonstrate that the econometric treatment of issues such as agglomeration, contiguity and spatial dependence significantly changes the conclusions regarding local and national spillovers from FDI, and productivity growth more generally. Spillovers, Foreign direct investment (FDI), Spatial dependence DRIFFIELD N. (2006) A la recherche des retombées dues à l'investissement direct étranger (IDE) localisé, Regional Studies 40, 107--119. Cet article cherche à examiner diverses mesures employées dans la documentation afin de rechercher la présence de retombées dues à l'investissement direct étranger (IDE). L'analyse fournit d'importantes preuves de la présence des effets externes dues à l'IDE. Elle montre aussi que ces effets externes s'avèrent plus localisés que l'on n'avait cru. Qui plus est, les résultats démontrent que l'emploi d'une façon économétrique pour aborder des questions telles l'agglomération, la contiguité et la dépendance géographique remet sérieusement en question les conclusions quant aux retombées locales et nationales dues à l'IDE en particulier, et la croissance de la productivité en général.

(2006) Zur Suche nach Überläufen von Auslandsdirektinvestierungen (FDI) mit räumlicher Abhängigkeit, Regional Studies 40, 107--119. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht verschiedenartige Aufstellungen, die in der Literatur zur Prüfung von Überläufen von Auslandsdirektinvestierungen benutzt werden. Die Analyse liefert signifikante Beweise externer Effekte von Direktinvestierungen aus dem Ausland, zeigt dann aber auf, daß diese externen Effekte örtlich starker begrenzt sind als früher angenommen wurde. Darüberhinaus zeigen die Ergebnisse, daß die ökonomische Behandlung von Fragen wie z.B. Ballung, unmittelbare Nachbarschaft und räumliche Abhängigkeit die Schlußfolgerung bezüglich örtlicher und überregionaler Überläufe von Auslandsdirektinvestierungen signifikant und die Produktionszunahme ganz allgemein verändert. Überläufe, Auslandsdirektinvestierungen (FDI), räumliche Abhängigkeit DRIFFIELD N. (2006) En busca de desbordamientos de la IDE con dependencia espacial, Regional Studies 40, 107--119. En este documento se estudian las diferentes especificaciones que se utilizan en la literatura para comprobar los efectos de desbordamiento de la inversión directa extranjera (IDE). En este análisis mostramos importantes pruebas para los efectos externos de la inversión directa extranjera interior pero demostramos además que tales efectos están más localizados de lo que se pensaba. Asimismo los resultados demuestran que el tratamiento econométrico de factores, tales como aglomeración, contigüidad y dependencia espacial, cambia en gran medida las conclusiones con respecto al efecto de desbordamiento local y nacional de la IDE, y con respecto al crecimiento de productividad en general.
