	<span lang=\"EN-US\">Foreign Direct Investment can have positive effects on host
countries by generating spillovers to domestic firms and contributing to
increases in their productivity. These productivity spillovers</span><sup><span lang=\"EN-US\">1</span></sup><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\">can take place
within an industry (intra</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">industry spillovers) and across industries
(inter-industry spillovers) as in the case of technology or knowledge transfer
to domestic suppliers (backward productivity spillovers) or customers (forward
productivity spillovers). Using unpub</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">lished economic census data from Mexico¡¯s
manufacturing sector this study differs from others by comparing</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\">inter</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">industry
productivity spillovers from Japanese and US FDI. Results show that Japanese
FDI increases the productivity of upstream sectors; however these gains seem to
be shared only among foreign suppliers, while US FDI does not seem to generate
backward productivity spillovers. Results show no presence of forward
productivity spillovers.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><o:p></o:p></span>
