Strategic Location Choice under Dynamic Oligopolistic Competition and Spillovers
This paper investigates firms’ optimal location choices explicitly accounting for the role of inwards and outwards knowledge spillovers in a dynamic Cournot oligopoly with firms that are heterogeneous in their ability to carry out cost-reducing R&D. Firms can either locate in an industrial cluster or in isolation. Technological spillovers are exchanged between the firms in the cluster. It is sh...
متن کاملThe Determinants of Regional Sourcing by Multinational Manufacturing Firms
The paper explores the factors influencing the extent of regional sourcing by multinational manufacturing firms using data collected by interview from 50 foreignand UK-owned plants in Yorkshire and the Humber. Higher levels of regional sourcing are observed where certain demand characteristics coincide with strengths in the regional supply base. A ‘corporate filter’ reduces regional sourcing bu...
متن کاملMultinational Firms Mitigate Tax Competition
An increase in the taxation of foreign affi liates reduces domestic investment, as has recently been empirically shown in Becker and Riedel (2012). This paper investigates the implication of this finding for tax competition. It is shown that an increase in the number of multinational firms (in contrast to purely national firms) may actually mitigate tax competition — counter to the popular opin...
متن کاملMultinational growth, innovation strategies and technology spillovers
It will be argued that the nature and characteristics of international production are changing and new opportunities for technological spillovers to host economies are associated to this change. However the available evidence on the actual impact of the ongoing globalisation is shaky and contradictory. This seems to have led to a sort of deadlock in the current debate, which is much too often b...
متن کاملMultinational companies , technology spillovers , and plant survival
This paper examines the effect of the presence of multinational companies on plant survival in the host country. We postulate that multinational companies can impact positively on plant survival through technology spillovers. We study the nature of the effect of multinationals using a Cox proportional hazard model which we estimate using plant level data for Irish manufacturing industries. Our ...
