| Abstract: | Given the important role that they have played in the rapid expansion of manufactured exports of a number of countries most notably in East Asia during the 1970s, multinational enterprises (MNEs) are increasingly seen as capable of helping their host countries in promoting their manufactured exports. This paper develops an analytical framework for explaining the locational pattern of export-platform production abroad by MNEs which takes into account the destination of exports. |
