Foreign direct investment and productivity growth : the Canadian host-country experience / by Surendra Gera, Wulong Gu and Frank C. Lee. : C21-24/31-1999
In this paper, we analyze the impact of technology transfers and spillovers from inward foreign direct investment (FDI) on the production cost and structure of Canadian industries. Specifically, we: (1) estimate the effects of inward FDI on the cost of production; and (2) examine the impact of FDI on the structure of production, i.e., the effects on demand for factors such as capital, labour, intermediate goods and R&D capital.--Abstact
