IMPACT OF COUNTRY RISK ON NETWORK LINKAGES WITHIN MNCs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Focusing on multinational corporations (MNCs), we examine the impact of country risk on intra-firm trade linkages between a foreign subsidiary and the rest of the MNC’s global network. Panel data analysis on 3362 subsidiaries of 1050 MNCs covering the period 1983-1996 indicate that country risk has a positive impact on the subsidiary’s intensity of intra-firm trade. Additionally, this positive association is weaker in the case of MNCs with greater experience at dealing with subsidiaries in high risk countries. Note to editors and reviewers: Given the severe space constraints associated with a manuscript positioned as a “Research Note,” we were forced to be very parsimonious regarding citations. We remain open to suggestions in this regard.
