Evans, Frank2019-07-302019-07-302019-08-01http://hdl.handle.net/2097/39837The literature on foreign direct investment is expansive but somewhat fragmented, and as a result, can sometimes be hard to disentangle in a meaningful way. The purpose of this paper is to examine foreign direct investment in a comprehensive but straightforward way. We hope to do this by examining FDI in a generalized and historical sense, FDI’s relationship with growth, and the means by which FDI influences growth and productivity.en-US© the author.
