Abstract

This study examines empirically the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on firm-level productive efficiency in Indonesian manufacturing. Utilizing the data from the Annual Survey of manufacturing industries between 1988 and 2000, the results confirm a positive spillover effect of FDI on technical efficiency level. An interesting finding appears when the observed firms are divided into two groups: firms with research and development (R&D) expenditure and those without R&D expenditure. The R&D firms receive higher magnitude of spillovers than those without R&D. This finding supports the argument that R&D is a key absorptive capacity for domestic firms to gain FDI spillover benefits.
