  摘要：We test the relationship between the size of regional trade agreements (RTAs) and openness by using a gravity equation with multilateral trade factors. Our sample includes 11 RTAs, seven with constant membership and four with expanding membership. Regional trade bias declines with the size of the club; three of the four expanding RTAs have already surpassed their optimal'' size. We also explore the link between openness of the RTA and the geographic strategy of the multinational enterprise. We...
• Product and geographic scope changes of multinational enterprises in response to international competition AI翻译

  摘要：What happens when multinational enterprises (MNEs) face competition in their own home market from imports or through foreign direct investment (FDI)? We provide a differentiated assessment of the influence of these two types of foreign competition on the product and geographic scope of MNEs. We apply the awareness-motivation-capability framework to international business (IB), hypothesizing that an increase or decrease in scope depends on the motivation and ability of an incumbent firm to resp...
• Local, regional, or global? Quantifying MNE geographic scope AI翻译

  摘要：This paper proposes a multidimensional index of regional and global orientation that can be used in confirmatory studies with econometric methodologies. Unlike extant measures, the index is objectively scaled, and controls for home country orientation and market size differences. The index is shown to be consistent with models of internationalization that incorporate different assumptions about investment choice and global competition. Preliminary results show that large multinationals follow ...
• When and where does foreign direct investment generate positive spillovers? A meta-analysis AI翻译
  作者：Meyer, Klaus E.; Sinani, Evis
  作者单位：University of Bath; Copenhagen Business School
  摘要：Local firms may attract productivity spillovers from foreign investors, yet these vary with local firms' awareness, capability and motivation to react to foreign entry. In consequence, spillovers vary across countries at different levels of economic development. We apply competitive dynamics theory to analyze these contextual moderators of spillovers, and test hypotheses thus derived in a meta-analysis of the empirical literature on spillovers. Our analysis suggests a curvilinear relationship ...
• Born global or born regional? Evidence from an exploratory study in the Costa Rican software industry AI翻译

  摘要：This paper provides empirical evidence about born-global firms in the software industry of a small developing country with an open economy: Costa Rica. The paper is based on data collected through interviews with CEOs or founders of 40 Costa Rican software companies. Findings show that there are few born-global firms among Costa Rican software providers. We find that most companies followed a gradual approach to internationalization, and they did not export immediately upon birth. A careful an...

• Do local manufacturing firms benefit from transactional linkages with multinational enterprises in China? AI翻译

  摘要：This paper examines the linkage effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on firm-level productivity in Chinese manufacturing. It is found that FDI generates positive vertical linkage effects in Chinese manufacturing at both the national and regional levels, and limited positive horizontal spillovers at the regional level. While OECD firms gain from both vertical and (probably) horizontal linkages, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwanese firms benefit only from backward linkage effects. In the domesti...
• Do all firms benefit equally from downstream FDI? The moderating effect of local suppliers' capabilities on productivity gains AI翻译
  作者：Blalock, Garrick; Simon, Daniel H.

  摘要：Using a panel data set on Indonesian manufacturers from 1988 to 1996, this paper examines how host-country firms' capabilities influence their propensity to benefit from downstream foreign direct investment (FDI). We estimate local suppliers' productivity response to multinational entry in downstream industries. We find that firms with stronger production capabilities benefit less than others. In contrast, firms with greater absorptive capacity benefit more. These results are largely robust to...

• Domestic plant productivity and incremental spillovers from foreign direct investment AI翻译

  摘要：We develop a simple test to assess whether horizontal spillover effects from multinational to domestic firms are endogenous to the market structure generated by the incremental entry of the same multinationals. In particular, we analyze the performance of a panel of 10,650 firms operating in Romania in the period 1995-2001. Controlling for the simultaneity bias in productivity estimates through semi-parametric techniques, we find that changes in domestic firms' total factor productivity are po...
