2 The Worldwide Shift of FDI to Services - How does it Impact Asia? New Evidence from Seventeen Asian Economies. Nadia Doytch CUNY Brooklyn College and Asian Institute of Management (Non-Resident Research Fellow)
3 0 0.5 Trillion of USD Total Sectoral FDI in Trillion USD Aggregate FDI increased 9 times (from 203 Bln. USD to 1995 Bln. USD) Mining FDI increased 10 times (from 14.3 Bln. USD to Bln. USD) Manufacturing FDI increased 5 times (from 50.4 Bln. USD to Bln. USD) Total Services FDI increased 15 times (from 74 Bln. USD to 1,146 Bln. USD) Financial Services FDI increased 14 times (from 39.4 Bln. USD to Bln. USD) Glabal Sectoral FDI Aggregate FDI Manufacturing FDI Financial FDI Mining FDI Total Services FDI

7 Why Study the FDI-Growth Relation? FDI has been looked at as a stable development engine, because of its hypothesized positive spillovers on economic growth. FDI is a stable component of capital flows to emerging economies. FDI became a large component of capital flows to these economies.
8 Productivity Spillovers Cost A3 A1 A2 AC0 AC1 Q A voluntary or involuntary transfer of MNEs intangible assets to domestically owned firms lower AC curve (positive spillover). Domestic firms are imperfectly competitive. MNE competes in quantity and captures market. Firm spreads fixed costs over smaller market moves up AC curve (negative spillover) MNE drains resources away (e.g. labor) Costs go up (negative spillover)
9 This the first systematic analysis of sectoral spillover of FDI disaggregated down to the industry level for South and East Asian economies. Study Objectives and Contribution Disaggregate total FDI and examine the growth effects of nine different types of FDI flows, in addition to aggregate FDI- mining, manufacturing, construction, aggregate service, and within services: financial, trade, tourism, business services, and transport & communications. Address how the different sector- and industry-level flows affect growth of manufacturing and service sectors in addition to the growth of aggregate economy. (We run 30 different models). We explore different institutional quality control variables, such as government stability and anti-corruption. Employ a dynamic panel GMM estimator that controls for endogeneity to a new data set for: Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Rep. of Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) for (unbalanced) that was not previously available.
10 Main Findings The manufacturing sector experiences positive productivity spillovers from its own sector (manufacturing) FDI and negative spillovers from Business Services FDI. The services sector experiences positive productivity spillovers from particular services FDI inflows: financial services, trade, and transport & communications. It has negative spillovers from extractive industries FDI. The overall effect on aggregate economic growth from FDI is positive. Particularly important are the services flows of financials, trade, and transport & communications, as well as extractives industries FDI.
11 Two Approaches to Study the Growth Effect of FDI Macro approach Cross-country growth effects of total FDI (Borstein, degregorio, Lee, 1998, Blomstrom, Lipsey and Zejan, 1994, Alfaro et al., 2004) FDI inflows benefit growth. But does not explain intersectoral differences. Micro approach Plant-level productivity of firms in manufacturing industry (Haskel, Pereira and Slaughter, 2002, Blalock and Gertler, 2003, Aitken and Harrison, 1999, Gorg and Stroble, 2001, Lipsey (2003, 2004) Results ambiguous. Cross-country analysis not possible. Sector-level Previously Doytch and Uctum (2011) found some negative spillovers of non-financial services FDI on manufacturing growth based on geographical region and level of development. Due to lack industry-level service FDI data, further investigation was not conducted in this study.

23 The overall effect on aggregate economic growth from FDI is positive. Particularly import are the services flows of financials, trade, and transport & communications, as well as extractives industries FDI. Empirical Results &Conclusion The own sector spillovers are positive both for manufacturing and services FDI. The services sector is positively impacted by particular services FDI inflows: financial services, trade, and transport & communications. The intersectional spillovers, if any, are negative: mining FDI on the services sector and business services FDI on manufacturing sector.
