Abstract
Temat artykułu dotyczy koncepcji spillowerów (efektów pośrednich) BIZ, które zwiększają wydajność firm w krajach, przechodzących od gospodarki centralnie planowanej do gospodarki rynkowej, w warunkach integracji ekonomicznej. Kraje bałtyckie są najlepszym przykładem takiego rodzaju państw. Efekty pośrednie zostały rozpatrzone na poziomie państw oraz na poziomie firmowym za pomocą modelu ekonometrycznego dla sprawdzenia istnienia, znaku oraz wielkości różnych typów spillowerów. Artykuł zawiera krótką analizę historyczną poprzednich prac w tym zakresie oraz analizę napływu BIZ do krajów bałtyckich z wykresami dla wizualizacji zmian w postawie inwestorów zagranicznych do tych państw w okresie transfrormacji postradzieckiej oraz po wstąpieniu do Unii Europejskiej.(abstrakt oryginalny)

The paper deals with the idea of spillovers (or indirect effects) from foreign direct investment increasing the firm productivity in transitive economies under the circumstances of economic integration. The Baltic countries are the best example of such a kind of states. The indirect effects for the productivity are examined both at a country and at a firm level with the use of a proved estimation model in order to probe for the existence, sign and magnitude of different types of spillovers. The paper includes a brief historical analysis of the previous works and the history of elaboration of an estimation model for spillovers. The analysis of FDI inflows in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania with diagrams is included to visualize the change in the attitude of foreign investors to these countries during the post-soviet period and after their accession to the EU.(original abstract)
