Abstract

This paper examines spillovers from FDI in Uruguayan manufacturing firms to determine whether foreign presence has any impact on the levels of labor productivity in local firms. We find a positive and statistically significant spillover effects in the whole sample, with a stronger impact of foreign presence on the performance of small firms. We also find positive and statiscally significant spillover effects when the organizational gap between foreign and local firms is moderate and when the technology gap is large. Our interpretation is that there are firm-specific differences in the ability to absorb spillovers.
