Home Market Effect Versus Multinationals
Toulemonde, Eric - 2007
We develop a model with two asymmetric countries. Firms choose the number and the location of plants that they operate. The production of each firm increases when trade costs fall. The fall also induces multinationals to repatriate their production into a single country, which is likely to be...

The introduction of horizontal multi-region firms dampens the strong agglomeration …, agglomeration tendencies are strengthened.

Tax competition for foreign direct investment
Haufler, Andreas; Wooton, Ian - 1997
We analyze tax competition between two countries of unequal size trying to attract a foreign-owned monopolist. When regional governments have only a lump-sum profit tax (subsidy) at their disposal, but face exogenous and identical transport costs for imports, then both countries will always...

Determinants of FDI location in Egypt : empirical analysis using governorate panel data
Hanafy, Shima'a - 2015 - This version: 7 January 2015
We empirically analyse the determinants of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in Egypt employing a novel panel dataset of 26 Egyptian governorates for the period 1992 - 2008. Using the case of Arab FDI to Egypt, we also investigate whether FDI location determinants are different depending on...

Sales tax competition and a multinational with a decreasing marginal cost
Alexandrov, Alexei; Bedre-Defolie, Özlem - 2011
We examine a multinational firm which has a decreasing marginal cost, and the optimal sales tax policies of the regions where that firm operates. We show that the regions set higher sales taxes than those given by a cooperative equilibrium. Each region fails to fully internalize the effects of...
