We develop a three-country version of the Helpman, Melitz and Yeaple (2004) model with firm heterogeneity, industry heterogeneity and country heterogeneity to study firms’ foreign market entry strategies. We show that (i) for any single host country, the export-FDI cutoff is higher in more skill-intensive industries than in less skillintensive industries; and (ii) for any single industry, the c...
