Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Economic Performance
研究了外国直接投资对美国各州经济增长和生产率的影响，发现外国资本在促进发达经济体内区域发展方面发挥重要作用。
Summary Although foreign direct investment into developed economies continues to show dramatic growth, little consensus exists over either its national or regional impacts. The lack of empirical evidence, particularly on a sub‐national level, adds to the uncertainty over the efficacy of regional development strategies focused on attracting foreign investment. The present research uses book value and employment measures of U.S. state‐level FDI activity to assess the impact of foreign capital on regional growth and productivity performance. The results imply a vital role for FDI in stimulating regions within well‐integrated, developed economies.
