'After two decades of intensive work on FDI covering a myriad of countries and topics, this impressive book proposes a unified methodology and consistent data for one country, Mexico. This integrative work rebukes part of the received wisdom on FDI externalities, confirms others, and opens avenue for further research. A must-read for anyone interested in FDI externalities.' Gilles Duranton, Professor of Economics and Noranda Chair in International Trade and Development, University of Toronto. 'Using the case of FDI to Mexico, this excellent book not only provides many new results as to the impact of FDI on the Mexican economy but it also convincingly shows the importance of space or agglomeration in assessing the role of FDI. The book goes to the heart of modern FDI research by building on international economics, international business and economic geography. This timely and well-written book will be of great interest to all students and researchers of FDI.' Harry Garretsen, University of Groningen, The Netherlands 'The author highlights the important issues that determine the impacts of FDI flows. It is rare to find all of the issues discussed in this text considered within a consistent framework. Finally, it is notable that the author seeks to allow for endogeneity of inward investment within the spillovers process.' Professor Nigel Driffield, Economics and Strategy Group, Aston University, UK
