摘要
On a sample of 20 developing countries. we noticed a clear decline in the energy intensity Lis foreign direct investment increases. The reason for that probably is the use of modern technologies that came with foreign direct investment, i.e., a leapfrogging over the old fashioned traditional technologies in use in these countries.
