It uses data from five emerging economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and advanced countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America). The estimation, using system generalized method of moments, shows that foreign direct investment from emerging economies and advanced countries has increased labor productivity growth and employment in Africa, when human capital and governance are controlled for. However, the level of impact varies based on the origin of investmentPPN: PPN: 1724871188Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-WBADieser Titel hat keine Exemplare
