State of the Art Review: FDI and local productivity

18 June, 2019

Cynically, one may argue that the emphasis that was placed on determining the productivity growth effects of inward investment was an attempt to justify such subsidies, even when cost per job calculations were unfavourable, but both the policy-based and academic literature represents increasingly detailed attempts to determine the nature of the wider economic benefits of attracting inward investment.
