The existence of spillover efficiency benefits to host country economies from inward foreign direct investment (FDI) are well documented in the literature, particularly for economically developed host economies. The determinants of the size and scope of the spillover benefits have also been...

Using a fixed effect variance decomposition model we estimate SUR models to analyse FDI spillovers from contagion and spillovers from competition on local firms in China. While the former type of spillover mainly depends on the degree of foreign presence, the latter kind is related to how...
