Foreign direct investment, technology spillovers, optimal control
Abstract :
[en] In this paper, we analyze optimal foreign direct investment of a firm which
operates in a duopolistic market. We characterize a technology spillover threshold
and show that for an intensity of spillovers below this threshold, there is a unique
locally asymptotic stable steady state with a positive capital stock in the developing
country. Furthermore, we characterize how optimal foreign investment patterns
and the investor’s value function depend on the level of technology transferred
and characterize the optimal level to be used for the foreign direct investment.
