The Assessment: Firm-level Adjustment to Globalization
综述了全球化研究中从国家/行业层面向企业/个体层面的转变，探讨企业通过出口或海外投资进行全球化调整对生产率的影响，适合关注微观经济调整的研究者。
In recent years, analysts of globalization processes, such as trade and cross-border investment, have shifted attention away from countries and industries to firms and individuals. This shift has been stimulated by new theories of firm-level adjustment and growing access to the kind of micro-level data-sets needed to explore empirically aspects of micro-level adjustment. Firm-level decisions to globalize, either through exporting or by setting up an affiliate overseas, have been a fertile area for both research and policy evaluation. The impact of these choices on productivity has been especially close scrutinized. Copyright 2004, Oxford University Press.
