Multinational firms (MNEs) dominate trade flows, yet their global production decisions are often ignored in firm-level studies of exporting and importing. Using newly merged data on US firms' trade and multinational activity by country, we show that MNEs are more likely to trade not only with...

Using new data on 9,096 firms across … 74 countries over the period 1989-2000, we find that Tobin's "q" does not rise after internationalization, even relative … to firms that do not internationalize.
