| Abstract: | This paper examines the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the survival of business start-ups. FDI has potential for both negative displacement/competition effects and positive knowledge spillover and linkage effects on new ventures, as well. There is found a net positive effect for the whole dataset. The paper outlines and tests an argument of this effect being likely to be comprised of a net negative effect in dynamic industries alongside a net positive effect in static industries. There is found evidence to support this view. The results identify new effects of globalization on enterprise development with associated challenges for industrial policy. |
