dc.description.abstract | Empirical evidence suggests that there are important spillovers associated
with the operations of multinational enterprises. Spillovers
may occur when less advanced, local firms learn from their more advanced,
foreign competitors. But less advanced firms may also actively
seek knowledge by investing abroad, so-called ”technology sourcing”
FDI. The present paper focuses on entry strategies in the presence
of technological differences and spillovers. The main result is that
the technological leader may choose to invest in the foreign market in
order to prevent technology sourcing FDI from its less advanced rival. | en |
