Recently, there has been a significant rise in the volume and significance of FDI flows. The foreign direct investment (FDI), which is undertaken by multinational corporations, affects not only the host economy but also the home economy in many ways. The impact of FDI on host economy has been very well explained by several researchers. But there is lack of literature that has investigated the impact of FDI on the economy of the investing country. The purpose of this paper is to revisit the empirical studies which are related with exploring the impact of outward FDI on various economic activities such as exports, domestic investment, productivity and economic growth in the investing country. In this pursuit, a through survey of empirical literature in this area, published since 1980 across different journals has been made and presented.

海外投资和国内影响：文献综述

最近，外国直接投资流量的数量和重要性显着上升。跨国公司进行的外国直接投资（FDI）不仅影响东道国经济，而且在许多方面影响着本国经济。几位研究人员已经很好地解释了 FDI 对东道国经济的影响。但缺乏研究 FDI 对投资国经济影响的文献。本文的目的是重新审视与探索对外直接投资对投资国出口、国内投资、生产力和经济增长等各种经济活动的影响相关的实证研究。在这一追求中，已经对自 1980 年以来在不同期刊上发表的该领域的实证文献进行了全面调查。
