Multiproduct Multinationals and the Quality of Innovation
Bakhtiari, Sasan; Minniti, Antonio; Naghavi, Alireza - 2013
This research sheds light on the role of product scope on the innovation activity of multinational multi-product firms. We use patent citation data to break down innovation into two types by measuring the degree to which innovation performed by firms is fundamental and the extent to which the...

Multinational production and intra-firm trade
Alviarez, Vanessa; Saad, Ayhab - 2022
Intra-firm trade, from parents to affiliates, has been combined with standard models of multinational production (MP) to deliver gravity-style predictions for foreign affiliates' sales. Nonetheless, the evidence shows that intra-firm trade is concentrated among a small set of large multinational...

The impact of locating production abroad on activities at home
Kleinert, Jörn (contributor); Toubal, Farid (contributor) - 2007
We analyze whether firms that establish their first affiliate in a foreign country have a different pattern of growth in output, employment, capital and productivity than firms that remain national. We use firm-level data on German multinational activities and appropriate matching techniques to...

Global production networks and the People's Republic of China's processing trade
Ma, Alyson; Van Assche, Ari; Hong, Chang - 2009
This paper unveils a systematic pattern in the People's Republic of China's (PRC) processing trade. In a cross-section of the PRC's provinces, the average distance traveled by processing imports (import distance) is negatively correlated with the average distance traveled by processing exports...

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...

How Does Multinational Production Change International Comovement?
Contessi, Silvio - 2010
I study the aggregate implications of the entry of Multinational Firms (MNFs) in a two country Dynamic Stochastic … and business cycle data along two dimensions. First, once I allow for concurrent entry (and exit) of MNFs and exporters …-country correlations of output and consumption found in the data. Second, I show that the model with heterogeneous MNFs is capable of …

Preferential Trade Agreements and Multinational Production
Miroudot, S. - 2019
This paper investigates the impact of deep integration in preferential trade agreements (PTAs) on multinational production (MP), i.e. the production carried out by firms outside of their country of origin. Using a structural gravity model, we find that tariff reductions have a positive impact on...

Multinational Production and the Scope of Innovation
Bakhtiari, Sasan - 2015
This research sheds light on the role of multinational production on the type of innovation performed by firms. We construct matched firm-patent data to measure the scope of innovation, that is the extent to which the output of R&D can be spread across different product lines. We focus on two...

Risk, Returns, and Multinational Production
Fillat, Jose L. - 2010
This paper starts by unveiling a new empirical regularity: multinational corporations tend to exhibit systematically higher returns and earnings yields than non-multinational firms. Within non-multinationals, exporters tend to have higher earnings yields and returns than firms selling only in...
