摘要：
The United States continues to be a significant recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) recently. The studies on the impact of FDI in the U. S. have focused on wage and educational effects. Little empirical investigation has distinguished the differential growth effects of two modes of FDI: greenfield investment and mergers & acquisitions (M&As). Using data from 48 states between 2003 and 2009, this study finds that M&As has an insignificant effect on state economic growth; while greenfield investment contributes positively to state economic development only when a minimum level of human capital is present.
