This paper estimates the foreign exchange rate exposure of 6,917 U.S. nonfinancial firms on the basis of stock prices and corporate cash flows. The results show that several firms are significantly exposed to at least one of the foreign exchange rates Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen and Euro, and significant exposures are more frequent at longer horizons. The percentage of firms for which stock p...

Environmental problems have become a critical global issue, especially the global warming issue resulting from increased greenhouse gases over the past few decades. Nevertheless, due to the importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) for some countries, they use their environment as a comparative advantage to attract FDI. In this study, by using a theoretical model, we review the pollution ha...

This paper examines how U.S. multinational firms are affected by foreign currency movements. In light of detailed exchange rate data, we find that 29% of our sample of 935 U.S. firms with real operations in foreign countries is significantly affected by currency movements between 1990 and 2001. Results show moreover that U.S. stock returns react asymmetrically to currency movements. By introduc...

However, higher profit generation under joint venture encourages the foreign firm ...

New technology based firms (NTBFs) embarking on a strategy of rapid internationalization choose foreign market entries which minimizes transaction costs and the related risks of failure. Means to reduce the young firms’ vulnerability to the appropriation of intellectual capital are particularly important influences on early foreign market choices.

This study seeks to explain why, in some cases, locationally advantageous countries attract foreign firms, who develop dominant competitive positions in the market, rather than facilitate the development of internationally competitive national firms, as theory suggests. Comparative analyses of samples of foreign and British-owned insurance firms in the London wholesale insurance market are used...

This research paper explores the conditions under which a firm is more/less likely to incur the Penrose Effect when expanding in a foreign market. We posit that multinational firms that can accelerate the development of new managerial resources in their foreign operations have greater organizational capabilities to adjust their managerial resources timely in the process of expansion, and thus w...

This paper reviews and summarises the results of selected studies on performance gaps between multinational enterprises and their domestic counterparts. Performance gaps arise in such fields as productivity, technology, profitability, wages, skills and growth. While these gaps are often attributed to foreign ownership of the affiliates, the theory of the Multinational Enterprise argues that the...

Precis: Studies of foreign direct investment in Ireland have concentrated on the absence of linkages and the high proportion of output exported. This paper analyses a sample of manufacturing firms in the Mid-West Region to highlight other relatively neglected aspects, such as managerial skills and technology and argues that the managerial differences between foreign and native firms are such as...
