The Impact of Foreign Investment on Less Developed Countries: Cross-Section Analysis versus Industry Studies

Rhys Jenkins

Chapter 6 in Multinational Enterprises in Less Developed Countries, 1991, pp 111-130 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The last two decades have seen a mass of studies of the impact of transnational corporations (TNCs) on host less developed countries (LDCs). A central issue in any discussion of the impact of TNCs is ‘Does ownership matter?’. Do foreign subsidiaries behave differently from locally-owned firms and if so, what are the implications of such differences for development?
