An Empirical Research on Productivity Spillovers from FDI of Producer Service Industry

Abstract

Abstract:

In this paper, we choose China's producer service industry as the research object. Based on an empirical study on the panel data of 5 representative producer service industries in China during the period from 2004 to 2012, this paper aims to illustrate FDI intra-industry horizontal spillover effects and inter-industry vertical spillover effects in the producer service industry (backward linkage and forward linkage). A test by use of the econometric models we established show that the intra-industry spillover effects of FDI are significantly positive, while the vertical spillover effects are significantly negative in producer service industry. Besides, the backward spillover effects are greater than horizontal and forward spillover effects.

Key words: producer service industry, FDI, productivity spillover effects
