1) The document discusses a new index called the ESA-Productivity Competitiveness Index (ESA-PCI) that measures countries' competitiveness based purely on economic performance rather than explanatory variables.
2) It analyzes data on India's improving competitiveness and economic growth over time based on the ESA-PCI, as well as increasing foreign direct investment levels and their estimated economic impacts.
3) Foreign direct investment from the US and EU into India has had relatively large total economic impacts estimated at 8.5% of India's GDP in 2020, much greater than the actual annual FDI inflows, demonstrating the multiplier effects through supply chains and consumer spending.

2. A “new” competitiveness index, the
“ESA-Productivity Competitiveness Index” (ESA-PCI)
• Existing sources, good data compilations,
but they…
• Don’t measure the right thing
• Mix performance and “explanatory” variables
• Have potential researcher bias
• Overuse survey responses
• Use insufficient response numbers
• Not random samples
• Scale compression bias
• Competitiveness is often not “additive”
• The ESA-PCI index
• Based purely on performance
• Simple, can calculate from transparent
sources (WB, WDI)
• Focused on productivity, using a better
measure than usual for this purpose
• Available for over 180 countries
• Creates a performance benchmark that
one can try to explain
• “Rewards” economies for the right
things, not the wrong things

11. Some data sources
• Reserve Bank of India
• Savings rates, GDP /GDP breakdowns, etc.
• FDI statistics and surveys
• US BEA
• Mandatory surveys of the foreign
operations of US firms
• Includes investment and operational data
for foreign affiliates, industry-by-industry
• Reports data for All Foreign Affiliates (AFAs)
and more complete data for Majority
Owned Foreign Affiliates
• “Sees through” intermediary locations
• Some data gaps related to disclosure issues
• EU Eurostat
• Voluntary reporting operations of foreign
affiliates of EU firms based on national data
sources, also industry-by-industry
• Different EU nations have different
reporting requirements
• “Sees through” intermediary locations
• More limited data than available from the
US due to spotty reporting and worse
disclosure issues
• Asian Development Bank
• Input-Output tables for India 2010-2020

Estimatedby usinginput-outputtables
• Economic Impact Analysis estimates the impact of an
investment and the subsequent operation of businesses
on an economy.
• Takes into account the activities of investing companies
(direct impacts), ripple effects through supply chains
(indirect), and effects of consumer spending of direct and
indirect employees (induced).
• Typically employed for single investments, such as a new
highway, exhibition center, tourist attraction, etc.
• ESA has modified the “usual methodology” (generating
multipliers from Input-Output tables and applying them
to operational cash flows) to estimate the impact of FDI /
Foreign Invested Enterprises (or Foreign Affiliates) across
entire economies (Lots of technical details).

24. We have also seen FDI have additional benefits as well
as costs in other economies in which we have worked…
• Potential Benefits
• Capital in, exports out
• Technological spillovers
• Managerial spillovers
• Building supply chains
• Building distribution capabilities
• Bringing CSR / ESG practices, reporting
• Building marketing capabilities
• Setting up global research
• Developing human resources
• Etc.
• Potential Costs
• Crowding out of local firms
• Environmental, labor practice “dumping”
• Abuses by global oligopolies
• Lack of local accountability
• Data security, secrecy issues
• Corruption
• Export of talent
• Lack of local commitment
• Etc.
• Confident, effective states can often
manage both the benefits and costs
2/23/2023 (c) Copyright Michael J. Enright, 2023 24
25. … So, in conclusion
• India’s competitiveness trends are positive, but there is a way to go
• Preliminary investigation suggests that changes in India’s approach towards FDI are
already bearing fruit and promises to bear more in the future; more complete
analysis is needed to estimate the full impacts
• Focusing on the flow-stock-operations-impact combination should be part of
analysis of policies and / or programs regarding FDI (for companies too)
• India is already looking at the first three (flow-stock-operations are in RBI data)
• Active management of the FDI process holds the most promise for obtaining the
benefits while minimizing the costs
• How to attract FDI? Openness, growth, infrastructure, workforce, consistent
legal/regulatory regime, “things work”, expat life, etc. Fodder for another time…
