Strategic nodes in investment fund global production networks: The example of the financial centre Luxembourg
运用全球生产网络框架，以卢森堡这一全球最大跨境投资基金中心为例，揭示了高级商业服务公司如何通过与本地及全球金融公司合作、利用本地套利资产，推动投资基金的全球扩张。
The patterns and dynamics of contemporary financial capitalism are mirrored in micro-production structures of finance in international financial centres (IFCs). Applying the global production network framework allows for analyses of these structures in greater detail, better illuminating the industry’s organization, its locally anchored professional practices, and the far-reaching power relationships between IFCs. The example of the IFC Luxembourg, the world’s largest cross-border investment fund centre, shows that, in particular, advanced business services firms facilitate the global reach of investment funds (i) in their close collaboration with both local and global financial corporations, and (ii) in their exploitation of localized arbitrage assets.
