Firstly, this study quantifies the contribution of foreign affiliates to productivity growth in OECD countries using a growth accounting approach. The analysis shows how much of this contribution derives from an increase in the employment share of foreign affiliates in the host country relative to an increase in the productivity of existing foreign affiliates. The study also compares the presence of foreign affiliates across OECD countries.
