- Productivity Distributions In International Oligopolies: Spillovers, Technology Transfer, And Heterogeneous FDI
- Foreign-owned firms exhibit widely-documented productivity advantages over domestic firms. To interpret this stylized fact, we model the relationships between FDI flows and national productivity distributions across firms in an international oligopoly. Industrial structure is determined endogenously, and both greenfield- and acquisition-FDI are allowed for. The technology gap between firms interacts...

- FDI And Trade: Complements And Substitutes

- FDI And Labor Markets In General Equilibrium
- International wage differences - driven by international technology or factor endowment differences - encourage the flow of Foreign Direct Investment FDI from high-to low-wage countries. However, the access of high-technology firms may drive domestic wages up, dampening the incentives for FDI flows. A general-equilibrium model that emphasizes the joint determination...

- Taxation And The Financial Structure Of Foreign Direct Investment
- Corporate tax incentives are one of the most important instruments used by governments to attract inward FDI Foreign Direct Investment flows.

- Vertical FDI?: A Host Country Perspective
- Nowadays empirical studies of the determinants of multinational activity across countries have found overwhelming support for a horizontal rather than a vertical model of Foreign Direct Investment FDI.

- Globalization And International Conflict: Can FDI Increase Peace As Trade Does?
- This paper extends the analysis of the conflict-trade relationship by introducing foreign direct investment. Furthermore, whereas most current analysis of the conflict-trade relationship examines historical data using COW, MIDS, or COPDAB, the authors employ the KEDS data with information for the 1990s. We justify using events data because events data...

- Foreign Direct Investment And Militarized Interstate Conflict

- On The Magnet Effect Of Foreign Direct Investment

Moreover, it decreases over time as the...

- Interactions Between Foreign Direct Investment And Trade In A General Equilibrium Framework
- This paper on trade and Foreign Direct Investment FDI indicates that they could be either substitutes or complements.
