| English abstract | The increasing importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) to international production has prompted considerable interest in its real ef fects on host economies all over the world. The aim of this study was investigate whether the presence of FDI produces productivity spillovers in Brazilian processing industries . We conduct our analysis using a panel database on twenty - three Brazilian proc essing industries and applied Moderated Multiple Regression (MMR) and Generalized Linear Models (GLM) analysis of variance to address potential spillover effects from foreign presence. This paper finds evidences of the coexistence of both positive and nega tive effects arising from FDI on the productivity of Brazilian industries. We found n egative effects for FDI presence in labor - intensive industries . Furthermore, FDI benefits depend on the absorptive capacity of industries , confirming the hypothesis that a minimum level of absorptive capacity is required so that locally owned enterprises (LOEs) can benefit from foreign presence |
