Time Zones and FDI with Heterogeneous Firms
Based on Helpman et al. (2004) we propose a simple two-country (Home and Foreign) model with heterogeneous firms to capture the role of FDI via utilizing time zone differences. Two countries are located in different time zones and there is no overlap in daily working hours. It will be shown that productivities of the firms undertaking FDI are higher than the productivities of non-FDI f i r m s ...
متن کاملSubsidies for FDI: Implications from a Model with Heterogeneous Firms∗
This paper analyzes the welfare effects of subsidies to attract multinational corporations when firms are heterogeneous in their productivity levels. I show that the use of a small subsidy raises welfare in the FDI host country, with the consumption gains from attracting more multinationals exceeding the direct cost of funding the subsidy program through a tax on labor income. This welfare gain...
متن کاملThe Impact of Declining FDI Barriers on Intra-Industry Reallocations and Aggregate Productivity Growth: A Quantitative Analysis on Japanese Multinationals
This paper quantitatively investigates the impact of falling FDI barriers on changes in intra-industry reallocations and aggregate productivity growth. Expanding on our earlier work (Arita and Tanaka 2011), we calibrate an adapted version of Eaton, Kortum, and Kramarz’s (2011) general equilibrium model of heterogeneous firms to Japanese multinational firms facing fixed and variable FDI barriers...
متن کاملLocation decision of heterogeneous multinational firms
In this paper we examine how multinational rms with varied levels of total factor productivity (TFP) self-select into di¤erent host countries. Using a dataset that records the subsidiaries of French manufacturing multinationals, we nd that rm-level TFP plays an important role in explaining the sorting of French rms across host countries. Both the aggregateand rm-level estimates suggest tha...
متن کاملGlobalisation , Productivity and Technology Research Paper 2005 / 01 Acquisition FDI and the Export Intensity of Multinational Firms
This paper investigates the impact of acquisition FDI on exporting intensity in U.K manufacturing. A quasi-likelihood estimation method is used, and the empirical estimates point to the following conclusions: (i) UK firms with higher exporting intensity are more likely to be foreign takeover targets; (ii) US acquired firms increase their exporting intensity, consistent with the idea that acquis...
