Comparing foreign subsidiaries and local firms in LDCS: Theoretical issues and empirical evidence
回顾了外国子公司与本地企业在技术、营销、外贸和工资四方面的经验证据，指出传统横截面分析不足以评估外资影响，建议未来采用纵向行业研究。
Abstract The article reviews the empirical evidence on the comparative behaviour of foreign subsidiaries and locally‐owned firms in four main areas which have a bearing on development: technology, marketing, foreign trade and wages. It is argued that the conventional cross‐section analysis of the behaviour of the different types of firm is a poor guide to the impact of foreign investment on host countries, and that longitudinal industry studies are a more fruitful approach for future research.
