Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book develops a theoretical framework to analyze the factors driving multinational corporations' (MNCs) foreign direct investment (FDI) decisions. The author constructs a two-sector, two-country model to examine the trade-off between proximity and concentration advantages in determining MNCs' choice between exporting and establishing foreign affiliates. The model demonstrates that in the absence of factor proportion differences, proximity advantages can lead to two-way horizontal FDI, even in industries with differentiated products. The author explores the conditions under which different types of equilibrium arise, including pure multinational, pure trade, and mixed equilibria. The book also examines the implications of introducing factor proportion differences into the model. The author concludes that the book's insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex factors shaping MNCs' FDI decisions and their impact on international trade and investment patterns.
