Where do MNEs locate their headquarters? at home!
讨论了跨国公司总部选址的概念,建立了一个强调历史惯性(即公司倾向于留在最初建立地)的简单模型,并分析了国家层面总部数量的决定因素,对Coeurderoy和Verbeke的研究提出批评并指出未来研究方向。
We discuss the concept of corporate headquarters and outline a simple model of where MNEs locate their corporate headquarters. In line with substantial empirical evidence, this model emphasizes the inertial forces that tie MNEs to the location where they have historically first been established. We then aggregate our analysis to the national level to identify the determinants of the number of MNE headquarters in a given country. On that basis, we offer a critique of the study by Coeurderoy and Verbeke [this issue], and outline directions for future research.
