Goverment’s attitude towards FDI
How do Government like FDI?In the 1970s…
•As FDI has become more significant, attitude towards FDI have changed substantially during the last three – four decades or so…•During 70s MNCs were commonly seen by many economists and policy makers as detrimental to the host economies, because: They were thought to create Monopoly situations.• In those days there was political sensitivity towards FDI
13
Goverment’s attitude towards FDI
But, In 1990s Government stimulated FDI…
•Regulations moved from restrict to promote and give guarantees•Most host economies have reduced barriers to FDI, and many industrializing countries have created infrastructure and special concessions to attract it•Concessions include extension to taxes, exemption from import duties and direct subsidies
14
Effects on the host country
• Governments spend part of their budgets in attracting FDI because they believe that FDI will generate positive effects on their country
• What happens when multinational companies invest in a host country?– How does it contribute to the country’s economic
growth and prosperity?– Important for host countries that are poor or in an
industrialisation phase• Type of effects
– Economic effects – Other effects on society and environment
15
Economic effects
• Operations and behaviour of the subsidiary– Higher Wages – Higher efficiency – Higher exports
• Effects of the subsidiary on domestic firms – Wage Spillovers– Productivity & Knowledge Spillovers– Export Spillovers
– Start up of new industries– Spillover= unintentional effect generated by firm A on firm B as a result of an economic behaviour by A (B has not paid for that effect or invested to have it)
16
Wages
• MNC typically pay higher wages than local firms – esp. in developing countries
• In 1931 a study documented that– “…Colombian labor…is better remunerated and
granted more sanitary living quarters by foreigners than by natives, but the foreigners probably extract more systematic and strenuous effort”
• Initial studies did not take into account: – The quality of workers employed – The size of the firms – The sophistication of the activities
17
Wages
• Some studies find that MNC pay higher prices for people with higher education (higher quality), while for blue collar differences are minimal
• Why would a firm pay more wages than its competitors in the host country?
1. Host country regulations or home country pressures
2. To maintain “good public relations” with local government and host environment
3. It pays a premium for reducing turn-over 4. To attract better workers
18
Productivity
• Productivity indicates how efficient is the production process – i.e. how much output a firm produces given its inputs
• Economists generally assume that MNC have higher productivity than domestic firms, especially in developing countries
• Several studies document this in a number of developing countries
(E.g. Brazil,Indonesia, Mexico, India etc.)
19
Productivity Spillovers
• Positive: – When the increase of FDI in an industry leads
to an increase in productivity of domestic firms in the same industry (horizontal spillovers) or in industries that are vertically connected (vertical spillovers)
• Negative: – When the increase of FDI in an industry leads
to an decrease in productivity of domestic firms in the same industry (horizontal spillovers) or in industries that are vertically connected (vertical spillovers)
20
Positive Productivity Spillovers
• Locally- owned firms might increase their efficiency by: – Copying the operations of the foreign- owned
firms;– Being forced by competition from foreign-
owned firms to raise their efficiency to survive– Qualify and improve the skills of local human
resources – The transfer of knowledge through backward
linkages with domestic suppliers
21
Negative Productivity Spillovers
• MNC have superior technologies – Higher productivity • Lower prices for a better quality products
– They erode market shares of domestic companies

•Why in some cases there are effects and in others not?
24
1. The capabilities of domestic firms
• Even to adopt and imitate countries and firms need a minimum of absorptive capacity– Human resources (training, education)– Investment in experimentation, R&D
25
2. Behaviour of MNC subsidiaries
• Economists almost always conceive MNC subsidiaries as having ‘advanced’ skills/ technologies with respect to domestic firms
• Economists also assume that R&D is centralised in the Headquarters and that subsidiaries are just a ‘passive’ local branch of the MNC
26
3. National Policies
• Is there a need for governments to promote actively the creation and deepening of linkages? …Markets may fail to create efficient linkages, raising the cost to both parties of entering into long-term supply relationships and reducing the ability of domestic firms to become competitive suppliers
• Rules of origin/Local content requirements: preferential treatments based on the level of value added or local content
• Example: the entry of Suzuki in Hungary was done to enjoy duty-free access for car exports to the EU, and it was subject to the creation of local linkages
27
Exports and new industries
• MNC can have two further effects: –Export Spillovers: Because they on
average export more than local firms, they generate export spillovers on domestic firms
–Generation of new industries: • The case of Ireland and Costa Rica and
the generation of new high tech industries
