Via the proposed model, the group decision-makers of the MNEs can select the appropriate facility site among the countries.

Using firm-level panel data for Korean MNEs, we make a distinction between being the only affiliate of a parent firm and being the one of the multiple affiliates of a parent firm.

To show that the symmetry assumption is the reason for this struggle, a two-country general equilibrium model is set up where multinational enterprises emerge endogenously in reaction to exogenou...
