Abstract:  Abstract: Prior studies focus on whether the presence of FDI affect productivity of domestic firms, but avoid the difficulty-to-answer question of how FDI productivity spillovers actually take place. Using a set of panel data of 11324 firms in China from 1996 to 1999, the paper sets out to identify the sources of FDI productivity spillovers. It is found that positive productivity spillovers from FIEs to domestic firms occur through tangible assets rather than intangible assets, through domestically consumed products rather than exported products, through ‘traditional’ products rather than new products, and through FIEs employing unskilled workers rather than FIEs employing skilled workers. In addition, FIEs are found to generate negative spillovers through exports and through employment of skilled workers. These findings help to unveil the complicated process of FDI productivity spillovers in a host country.
