Abstract
Foreign direct investment is often considered an important source

of knowledge spillovers. However, results from the empirical literature

relating overall foreign presence to host country productivity are

ambiguous. We argue that this may be because different modes of

entry may have different effects on productivity. Using 24 years of

comprehensive panel data for Norwegian Manufacturing, we find that

greenfield entry has a negative impact on the productivity growth of

domestic plants, while entry via acquisition affects local productivity

positively. The net effect is a small positive effect of an overall change in foreign presence on local productivity growth.
