Title: | Multinational corporations, foreign investment, and royalties and license fees: effects on host-country total factor productivity | Authors: | Pessoa, Argentino | Issue Date: | 2008 | Publisher: | Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | Neste artigo examinamos, do ponto de
vista teórico e empírico, a relação entre
IDE (Investimento Directo Estrangeiro)
recebido e PTF (produtividade total dos
factores), à luz do paradigma OLI
(organização, localização e
internalização). Utilizamos técnicas de
regressão em painel para analisar os
efeitos do IDE recebido e do pagamento
de royalties e Licenças sobre a PTF
agregada duma amostra de 16 países da
OCDE, entre 1985 e 2002. Os testes
empíricos mostram que o IDE recebido e
o pagamento de royalties e licenças tem
um impacto positivo na PTF dos países e,
também, sugerem que a dimensão dos
efeitos positivos está dependente do nível
de desenvolvimento desses países. Por
outro lado, a nossa investigação mostra
que, quando outros factores permanecem
constantes, o IDE recebido e as royalties
pagas são substitutos no impacto positivo
que exercem sobre a PTF. Cet article analyse, du point de vue théorique et empirique, la relation entre l'investissement direct étranger (IDE) reçu et la PGF (productivité globale des facteurs). Avec un encadrement théorique inspiré du paradigme OLI (organisation, localisation et internalisation), nous utilisons des techniques de régression sur un panel de donnés pour mesurer les impacts des entrées d'IDE et des redevances payées à l’étranger sur la PGF à partir d'un échantillon de 16 pays de l'OCDE, entre 1985-2002. Les tests empiriques démontrent que l’IDE entré et le paiement de redevances ont un impact positif sur la PGF. Ils montrent aussi que la dimension de l’effet positif dépend du niveau de développement de ces pays. Par ailleurs, notre recherche montre que, tous les autres facteurs restant inchangés, l’IDE reçu et les redevances payées sont des substituts réciproques par rapport à l’impact positif sur la PGF. In this paper we examine the relationship between inward FDI and total factor productivity (TFP) in a framework motivated by the OLI paradigm. A panel data approach is used to study the effects of FDI and payments of royalties and license fees (R&L) on aggregate TFP in a sample of 16 OECD countries, between 1985 and 2002. Our empirical tests show that FDI and R&L have a positive impact on host-country TFP, and also suggest that the amount of positive effects of FDI and R&L is dependent on the level of development of the receiving country. Additionally, our data show that, when other factors remain constant, inward FDI and R&L payments are substitutes in positively influencing TFP of the host country. |
