Firm-Specific Resources, Financial-Market Development and the Growth of U.S. Multinationals
We study the resource allocation decisions of U.S. multinational corporations (MNCs). We examine how established MNCs grow across countries and how firm-specific resources and host-country financial-market development influence MNC growth. We find no evidence of within-firm tradeoffs to growth in MNCs with greater organizational capital, knowledge resources and access to financing. However, whe...
متن کاملFirm Structure, Multinationals, and Manufacturing Plant Deaths
Plant shutdowns shape industry productivity, the dynamics of employment, and industrial restructuring. Plant closures account for more than half of gross job destruction in US manufacturing. This paper examines the effects of firm structure on US manufacturing plant closures. Plants belonging to multi-plant firms and those owned by US multinationals are less likely to exit. However, the superio...

We show that the advent of improved logistics management, including the “just-intime” (JIT) production system, can plausibly explain much of the dramatic (i.e., roughly 95%) growth of intra-firm trade in intermediates from Canadian affiliates to their U.S. MNC parents in the 1984-1995 period. The decline in tariffs and physical transport costs over this period was far too small (about 2.5%) to ...
متن کاملThe Taxation of Multinationals: Firm Level Evidence for Belgium
This paper provides empirical evidence of a more favorable tax treatment for foreign multinationals compared to similar domestic firms in a small open economy. Using treatment effects to control for self-selection of foreign firms into low tax firms, we find that foreign multinationals have substantially lower effective tax rates compared to domestic firms. In our estimations we also control fo...
