4 Research and Policy Context Multinationals are associated with new technologies and advanced management know-how International evidence indicates that multinationals are more productive than local firms Indirect positive effects on the performance of local firms via knowledge spillovers Knowledge diffusion from multinationals to local firms could increase aggregate productivity International evidence suggests that the productivity slowdown in recent years is linked to a slowdown of knowledge and innovation diffusion from top performance firms to laggard firms Ireland one of the most globalised economies in the world Multinational firms contribute substantially to Ireland s economic performance and competitiveness Foreign-owned firms - large scale, capital-intensive, concentrated in high-productivity sectors, concentrated geographically, highly globalised Irish-owned firms - much smaller, more labour-intensive, more-embedded in local economies, less internationalised 4
5 Knowledge Spillovers from Multinationals to Local Firms Main Channels Demonstration effects: local firms learn about new technologies and markets from the activities of multinationals Competition effects: local firms innovate more Supply chain linkages: knowledge transfer between multinationals and local firms in upstream and downstream sectors Labour mobility: tacit knowledge transfer (embedded in human capital/skills) 5

7 AUTHORS Mattia Di Ubaldo Martina Lawless Iulia Siedschlag Productivity Spillovers from Multinational Activity to Domestic Firms: Evidence from Ireland
8 Productivity Spillovers International Evidence Recent reviews and quantitative meta-analyses of international evidence Havranek and Irsova (2011); Meyer and Sinani (2009); Görg and Strobl (2001) Productivity spillovers vary across firms and host countries Mixed evidence on productivity spillovers via horizontal linkages weak or negative spillovers More robust evidence on productivity spillovers via supply chain linkages - in particular spillovers to local suppliers Ability to benefit from knowledge spillovers varies across firms large firms, firms more intensive in skills and R&D are more successful in absorbing and translating knowledge into innovation and productivity Productivity spillovers are greater in countries open to international trade having stronger incentives to innovate and related non-linearly (U-shaped form) to the level of development in host country human capital, enabling institutional framework 8
9 Previous Research on Ireland Within-industry spillovers (horizontal) with manufacturing and service sectors examined separately (e.g. Ruane and Ugur, 2005; Haller, 2014) Positive/negative but statistically insignificant effects Within and inter-industry (vertical) spillovers (Barrios, Görg, and Strobl, 2011) allow for the input sourcing behaviour of multinationals to be different from that of domestic firms Positive and statistically significant spillovers via backward linkages Negative but statistically insignificant horizontal spillovers and via forward linkages
10 Research Objectives and Novelties Research Objectives Examine productivity spillovers within sectors and within regions Examine vertical spillovers via forward and backward linkages Examine whether spillovers differ across sectors Distinguish spillovers from affiliates owned by the EU and by non-eu multinationals Examine the role of absorptive capacity of domestic firms Novelties Estimate and compare sector specific productivity spillovers manufacturing and services Explore the sensitivity of productivity spillovers to the origin of investors investors based in EU versus those based in non-eu countries Explore the sensitivity of productivity spillovers to a range of measures capturing supply chain linkages 10
11 Key Findings Only limited evidence of productivity spillovers linked to the presence of foreign-owned firms in the same industry or in the same region Positive intra-industry spillovers in services mainly linked to EU based MNEs Crowding out effects in manufacturing linked to both EU and non-eu based MNEs Stronger evidence of both negative and positive spillovers through supply chain linkages Positive spillovers on local buyers from EU based MNEs in services Negative effects on local buyers from non-eu MNEs in manufacturing Positive spillovers appear to be conditioned by the absorptive capacity of local firms their ability to learn and translate new knowledge into innovation and productivity 11

18 AUTHORS Mattia Di Ubaldo Iulia Siedschlag Trade Spillovers from Multinationals to Local Firms
19 Research and Policy Context Activity of MNEs, both on domestic and foreign markets, can affect the trade performance of local firms. Competition effects and knowledge spillovers are the main channels, similarly to what affects firm productivity. More specifically for trade: Lower cost of trade and increased exporting of local firms. Reduced informational barriers to trade, learning about export opportunities. Necessity to target foreign markets, as domestic market shrinks. Either by exporting more products or reaching more destinations. Weaker local firms are driven out of exporting. Increased production capabilities and product quality upgrading can foster both export success and imports of new/better inputs. 19
20 International Evidence Aitken et al (1997); Greenaway et. al, (2004): higher export probability for Mexican and UK firms, from horizontal spillovers. Swenson (2008): new export connections (product and destinations) for Chinese exporters information spillovers (horizontal). Swenson and Chen (2014): higher prices and higher survival rates for new export transactions from horizontal spillovers in Chinese firms. Harding and Javorcik (2012): export quality upgrade in developing countries. Industry data on FDI targeting and export unit-values. Bajgar and Javorcik (2017): product quality upgrading through vertical spillovers, custom data from Romania, negative effect from horizontal spillovers. Ciani and Imbruno (2017): quality upgrading from forward spillovers, quality downgrading from horizontal spillovers; data from Bulgaria. 20
21 Research Objectives and Novelties Examine how MNEs affect the trading activity of local firms in terms of diversity of transactions and density of network. Number of products, destinations and export/import intensity. Analyse both exports and imports Long time span: Examine the effect of both horizontal (i.e. same sector or region) and vertical spillovers (i.e. supply chain channel). Various spillover measures Examine the role of absorptive capacity of domestic firms, identified by their R&D activity. 21
22 Key Findings for Ireland Trade of local firms is impacted positively by MNEs activity. Exports: Foreign presence in the same sector leads to exporting to more destinations Competition-innovation; imitation; learning; network. Supplying inputs to MNEs leads to: Imports: More products shipped innovation, productivity. More destinations reached network, productivity. Purchasing inputs from MNEs leads to: More products imported complexity, productivity. More origins for imports network, productivity. Both effects more prevalent for R&D active firms. 22
23 Key Findings for Ireland Some negative effect arises from MNEs through regional spillovers: Lower number of products exported and imported. Lower number of import origins. Both effects are likely due to crowding out of local firms. Absorptive capacity of local firms appears to reinforce some effect, mostly forward spillovers: When buying inputs from MNEs, R&D active firms: Expand the range of imported products. Expand the range of export destinations. Expand the range of import destinations. 23
24 Evidence from Ireland - Data We exploit confidential firm and product level data made available by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). Data are from 1996 to Trade data: o Merchandise exports and imports o CN-8 digit product level. o Disaggregated by destinations (exports) and origins (imports). Firm level data: o o Balance sheet information from the Census of Industrial Production (CIP). Information on employment, revenue, materials, wages, R&D expenditure etc. 24

33 Summary of Findings - Imports Horizontal spillovers (sectors and regions): Products: negative regional spillovers crowding out Partially offset by firms doing R&D. Origins: negative regional spillovers crowding out Vertical spillovers (value-chain): Products: positive forward spillovers Due to firms doing R&D Origins: positive forward spillovers Stronger in R&D active firms 33
34 Policy Implications Attracting foreign direct investment is not sufficient to generate benefits to local firms via knowledge spillovers Since knowledge spillovers are not automatic, enhancing the absorptive capacity of local firms is key in order to ensure they can benefit from advanced knowledge and technologies Since most knowledge spillovers appear to come about through supply chain linkages, enabling production linkages between local and multinational firms could be beneficial for aggregate productivity and trade performance 34
