Abstract
This paper studies the total factor productivity gains, export participation and spillovers of

foreign ownership in Ghanaian manufacturing industry. This is based on a comprehensive panel

data on manufacturing firms collected as part of the enterprise survey over the period 1991-2002.

Controlling for simultaneity, endogeneity bias, firm and year fixed effects, firm productivity is

first estimated. Results show that foreign owned firms are on average 7% more productive than

domestic firms in the same sub-sector and location. Besides, there is statistical evidence

suggesting that domestic firms will gain in productivity via spillovers from foreign owned firms.

Lastly, I find that, domestic firms are 3.1% more likely to participate in exports with increasing

share of foreign owned firms in the same sector.
