This paper investigates the geographic extent of foreign direct investment (FDI) technology spillovers and diffusion in … spatial dimensions of FDI spillovers. Our empirical results show that FDI presence (measured as employment share) in a … location. Nevertheless, these negative intra-regional spillovers are found to be locally bounded. Domestic private firms enjoy …
