Explore how proximity and income shape multinational sales and trade, with clear evidence from a detailed study.

This book analyzes what determines trade and multinational activity, using findings that show proximity and income differences matter in both exports and affiliate sales. It also discusses how transport costs and policy factors influence local sales versus exports, and how different methods help verify these results.

• How proximity to markets affects affiliate sales and trade flows.


• The roles of income levels, income differentials, and transport costs in shaping multinational activity.


• How various econometric approaches (like SUR and tobit) test the robustness of these findings.


• Why some results differ between inward and outward perspectives on a country’s trade and affiliates.

Ideal for readers of international trade and macroeconomics who want a rigorous look at how firms decide where to produce, sell, or export.
