| Title: | Playing away to win at home | Authors: | Pavelin, Stephen | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/1271 | Date: | Dec-2006 | Online since: | 2009-07-22T13:57:49Z | Abstract: | This paper presents a model of the interaction between two rival firms based in the same country. Each firm must decide how to serve a foreign market (export or foreign production) and how much to invest in a corporate-wide asset that reduces production costs and/or augments the willingness-to-pay for their product. In this scenario, the firms’ foreign direct investment decisions are interdependent. Furthermore, strategic motives for FDI relate not to a firm’s domestic, as well as foreign, market profits. One possibility is that a firm sets up overseas production even though its foreign market profits would be higher by exporting. | Type of material: | Working Paper | Publisher: | University College Dublin.
