Home Country Effects of Foreign Direct Investment: Evidence from Sweden

Magnus Blomstrom and Ari Kokko

No 4639, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: This paper examines two broad issues related to foreign investment by Swedish multinationals: first the effects of outward foreign direct investment on domestic investment, exports, and employment, and second, the effects on the domestic economy from the increasing division of labor between the parents and foreign affiliates of Swedish MNCs. The paper summarizes and synthesizes the existing empirical evidence on these matters (much of which has hitherto only been available in Swedish) and discusses some possible long run effects that have not received much attention in the literature.
