MNE Affiliation, Firm Size and Exports Revisited: A Study of Information Technology Firms in India
研究了印度信息技术行业中，跨国企业子公司的出口表现如何受外资股权比例和许可证进口技术的影响，并与国内企业和外国技术许可企业进行对比。
In this study we argue that the export performance of affiliates of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in developing countries is determined differently from that of licensees of foreign firms or of domestic firms. Our empirical results for the information technology sector in India show that exports of MNE affiliates are greater when they have larger foreign equity stakes that bring more tacit knowledge transfer and complementary FDI advantages and when they import more explicit technology from the purchase of licences. Standard export determinants such as firm size and capital intensity do not matter for MNE affiliates, but they do for licensees and domestic firms.
