Resumo: There is a widespread belief that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) represents a strategic issue within developing countries’ innovation systems. This is a function of expectations that this particular kind of investment can cause positive shocks on host markets’ overall capabilities. Our argument, in consonance with dedicated literature, is that these contributions do not take place without “frictions”, and that there is a significant complementarity between FDI’s effects and the innovation policy framework (particularly those initiatives that influence the existent level of systemic absorptive capacities). Using panel data for developing countries we estimate production functions oriented towards assessing the evolution of National Innovation Systems. Our results suggest that FDI’s positive impacts are contingent upon absorptive capacity in developing countries’ innovation systems. Nonetheless, its contributions are not pervasive, being robustly related only to labor productivity gains.

Isso decorre de expectativas de que esse tipo específico de investimento possa causar choques positivos sobre as capacidades dos mercados receptores. O argumento do presente artigo, em consonância com a literatura dedicada, é que tais contribuições não ocorrem sem “atritos”, havendo uma complementaridade significativa entre os efeitos do IED e do quadro da política de inovação (em particular as iniciativas que influenciam o nível existente de capacidades absortivas sistêmicas). A partir de técnicas de dados em painel para países em desenvolvimento, estimamos funções de produção orientadas para avaliar a evolução dos sistemas nacionais de inovação. Os resultados sugerem que os impactos positivos de IED estão subordinados às capacidades absortivas dos sistemas de inovação de países em desenvolvimento. No entanto, suas contribuições são restritas, estando robustamente relacionadas apenas a ganhos de produtividade do trabalho.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2016-08-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa quantitativa e qualitativaapplication/pdfapplication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.documenthttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/864912810.20396/rbi.v15i2.8649128Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2016): jul./dez.; 193-218Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2016): jul./dez.; 193-218Revista Brasileira de Inovação; v. 15 n. 2 (2016): jul./dez.; 193-2182178-2822reponame:Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPenghttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/8649128/15677https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/8649128/20045Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Brasileira de Inovaçãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFischer, Bruno BrandãoQueiroz, Sérgio2017-12-12T11:41:12Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8649128Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbiPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/oai||rbi@ige.unicamp.br2178-28221677-2504opendoar:2017-12-12T11:41:12Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
