Foreign direct investment (FDI) is becoming increasingly critical to the economies of developing countries, in part due to a major expansion in the scope of global value chains (GVCs). While substantial research has been undertaken on the existence and direction of spillovers from FDI, many questions remain. This book presents the results of a groundbreaking study designed to address these issues drawing on detailed field research in eight countries.
