dc.description.abstract | Multinationals’ mode of foreign expansion may depend on whether or not they expect
technological externalities or spillovers to generate new competition. Existing models
where ex-post spillovers affect the ex-ante entry choice usually study the choice between
exporting and FDI with horizontal spillovers. I consider a monopoly firm with a vertical
production structure that has four possible modes of entry, one of which includes outsourcing
of intermediate input production to a host county firm. Technological spillovers
in this model are vertical, generating threat of entry of a new intermediate input producer.
When outsourcing contracts are incomplete, vertical spillovers that generate threat
of entry upstream do not necessarily benefit the multinational in the downstream market. | en |
