Abstract

Empirical evidence suggests that multinationals exhibit greater productivity than local firms. Emergence of Indian multinationals in the last decade raises an interesting question. Do Indian multinationals have greater productivity than foreign multinationals in India? Our results indeed suggest that Indian multinationals have higher productivity than foreign multinationals.
