Multinational Firms and Impacts on Employment, Trade and Technology: New Perspectives for a New Century

This collection, with contributors from many distinguished writers in the field, presents work which has been able to exploit relevant data for countries such as the United States, France, Italy, Belgium and Japan. The essays show, for the first time with a large sample, the high degree of complementarity between foreign direct investment and home exports, especially for intrafirm trade, and the exact evolution in the nature of employment between mother companies and affiliates.
