However, countries with well-developed financial markets gain significantly from FDI. The results are robust to different measures of financial market development, the inclusion of other determinants of economic growth, and consideration of endogeneity.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS}, author={Alfaro, L and Chanda, A and Kalemli-Ozcan, S and Sayek, S}, year={2004}, month={Oct}, pages={89–112} } @article{bockstette_chanda_putterman_2002, title={States and markets: The advantage of an early start}, volume={7}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Economic Growth (Boston, Mass.)}, author={Bockstette, V. and Chanda, A. and Putterman, L.}, year={2002}, pages={347–369} }
