Do civil and political repression really boost foreign direct investments?
Harms, Philipp; Ursprung, Heinrich W. - 2001
Multinational enterprises are often accused to have a preference for investing in countries in which the working populations' civil and political rights are largely disregarded. This paper presents an empirical investigation of the popular political repression boosts FDI hypothesis and arrives...

Offshoring Along the Production Chain
Harms, Philipp; Lorz, Oliver; Urban, Dieter - 2009
Recent contributions on offshoring often assume that firms can freely split their production process into separate … technologically determined sequence of production steps. In our model, cost savings from offshoring fluctuate along the production … from offshoring even if relocating individual steps would be advantageous in terms of offshoring costs, or they may …

Offshoring and sequential production chains : a general-equilibrium analysis
Harms, Philipp; Jung, Jaewon; Lorz, Oliver - 2014 - This version: January 5, 2014
In this paper, we develop a two-sector general equilibrium trade model which includes offshoring, sequential production … technological change affect equilibrium offshoring patterns. We show that, against common belief, a reduction in trade costs lowers … the range of tasks offshored even though the aggregate volume of offshoring may increase. …

Trade and the Internationalization of Production
Kleinert, Jörn - 2002
Whereas many empirical studies show that the internationalization of production is driven by falling distance costs, theoretical models of the endogenous emergence of multinational enterprises predict the opposite. This paper argues that this dichotomy can be resolved if the production process...
