Abstract

Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, eine unvoreingenommene und systematische Überprüfung der Wachstumswirkungen ausländischer Direktinvestitionen in Entwicklungsländern vorzunehmen. Zu diesem Zweck werden zunächst die theoretischen Wirkungskanäle dargestellt, über die Direktinvestitionen auf das Wirtschaftswachstum Einfluss nehmen. Anschließend wird eine Auswertung der verfügbaren empirischen Studien vorgenommen und in einer eigenen empirischen Untersuchung der Gesamteinfluss von FDI auf das Wirtschaftswachstum ermittelt. Dazu wird eine Paneldatenuntersuchung auf Makroebene durchgeführt, die einem Ansatz von Borensztein, de Gregorio und Lee (1998) folgt und diesen um die Betrachtung verschiedener Ländergruppen erweitert.
