Title: Foreign Direct Investments and Technology Transfers in Development: A Perspective on Recent Literature
Abstract: Flows of foreign direct investment (FDI) are increasingly being seen as a very
	 important channel for the transfer of technology, capital and entrepreneurship.
	 Developing countries compete vigorously among themselves to attract greater volumes
	 of FDI with a variety of policy instruments. This paper provides a selective review
	 of the growing body of literature on the determinants of FDI and other forms of
	 technology transfer and on their developmental impact, with a view to deriving
	 policy implications and an agenda for further research.
