Differences In Scale And Technical Efficiency Between Foreign Firms And Domestic Firms In The Tunisian Manufacturing Sector: System Gmm Estimator
The differences in productivity between foreign-controlled firms and domestic firms can be explained by differences in size and technical efficiency. Indeed, foreign firms are assumed to exploit economies of scale in a more optimal way. But also the differences in productivity between the two types of firms can be more explained by differences in technical efficiency, whether individual specific advantages
Productivity Spillovers And Technology Gap In The Tunisian Manufacturing Sector
This paper explores the relationship between foreign direct investment and the productivity of host country domestic firms. Using firm-level data collected by the Tunisian National Statistic Institute during the period 1997- 2007 in six manufacturing industries, we study whether the presence of foreign firms produces technology spillovers on domestic firms operating in the same industry. We find that the presence
