| Title: | Follow-my-leader FDI and collusion | Authors: | Leahy, Dermot Pavelin, Stephen |

This implies positive interdependence between firms’ FDI decisions, i.e. foreign investment by one firm brings increased incentive for others to follow-suit. So, we highlight a mechanism that propagates FDI clusters: a flurry of investment from one country, or region, to another. | Funding Details: | European Commission | Type of material: | Working Paper | Publisher: | University College Dublin.
