(2)FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT? (OECD, IMF)
FDI reflects the objective of establishing a lasting interest by a resident enterprise in one economy (direct investor) in an enterprise (direct investment enterprise) that is resident in an
other economy, in which:
The foreign investor owns 10% or more of the ordinary shares or voting power for an incorporated enterprise or an unincorporated enterprise in which the foreign investor has equivalent ownership.
Direct Investment: Equity capital/ Reinvested earnings/ Acquisition of intangible assets
FDI modes: Greenfield vs M&A

(6)Horizontal vs Vertical FDI
Two main types of FDI:
Horizontal FDI when the affiliate replicates the
production process (that the parent firm undertakes in its domestic facilities) elsewhere in the world.
Vertical FDI when the production chain is broken up, and parts of the production processes are transferred to the affiliate location.

(8)The Firm’s Decision Regarding Foreign Direct Investment
Proximity-concentration trade-off:
High trade costs associated with exporting create an incentive to locate production near customers
Increasing returns to scale in production create an incentive to concentrate production in fewer locations.
(9)The Firm’s Decision Regarding Foreign Direct Investment (cont.)
Foreign outsourcing or offshoring occurs when a firm contracts with an independent firm to produce in the foreign location
In addition to deciding the location of where to
produce, firms also face an internalization decision: whether to keep production done by one firm or by separate firms.

(11)2 SPILLOVER EFFECT – THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Once a MNC has established a subsidiary, they are likely to bring along
more sophisticated technology, marketing and managerial practices which
are possibly spilled over to the domestic firms through the channels: imitation, skills acquisition, competition and exports (Wang and
Blomstroem, 1992; Haacker, 1999; Aitken & Harrison, 1999)
FDI may raise productivity levels of domestic firms in the industries
which they enter by improving the allocation of resources in those industries (Javorcik, 2004, Helpman, 1999)
In nature, spillovers from FDI are more likely to be vertical than horizontal/
MNCs can use ways of protection such as intellectual property, trade
secrecy, paying higher wages to prevent labor turnover or locating in countries or industries where domestic firms have limited imitative capacities to begin with (Gorg and Greenaway, 2004; Javorcik, 2004).

(15)-Backward Spillover
MNEs play two roles to domestic firms:
(1) They typically produce more complex products, acting as a spur to local suppliers to upgrade their own technology base (Rodríguez-Clare, 1996),
(2) Their increased demand for inputs induces employment and growth in domestic upstream firms (Markusen and Venables, 1999)
Backward spillovers can work on condition that local suppliers have to
be technologically advanced to absorb knowledge spillovers and deal with the demand for specialized inputs (Kwon and Chun, 2009)
Low level of local linkages could be due to the incapacity of local firms
to meet appropriate quality standards, and to compete with global components prices (Athukorala and Menon, 1996; Hobday, 1996)

(17)HYPOTHESIS
FDI from one source economy could be low-tech or high-tech intensive
due to their development level
FDI from origins that the investors demand more low-tech products
possibly bring higher potential of backward spillovers to local suppliers
(18)The paper’s novelty
It does not stop at finding different backward productivity
spillovers by investors’ origins but go further by explaining why and how this channel occurs:
- The role of geographical distance: we separate two groups
-near vs far from Vietnam
- The role of technology intensity of MNEs’ Input Consumption:
we create a low-tech intensity indicator (LTI) for foreign investment from one source country both in the same and downstream sectors

• If j = high-tech industries:
• If LTI > 100%: the buyers from country or association m purchase more local low-tech
products
• If LTI<= 100%: the buyers from country or association mpurchase more local high-tech

For horizontal linkages:
• If LTI > 100%: foreign affiliates from country or association m appear more in low-tech

(30)Investments from one origin and their demand have specific characteristics: low-tech or high-tech intensive
The origins of which foreign firms demand more low-tech products possibly bring higher backward spillovers to domestic suppliers
Lower backward spillovers from FDI originating from countries which are located nearby Vietnam due to high potential of imports
Local high-tech manufacturers should promote themselves to meet the demand from FDI customers
