Description :
This paper uses a large sample of Italian manufacturing firms over the period 2004–06, to investigate whether localisation economies and related variety affect firms’ internationalisation choices. The results show that the higher the firm’s productivity level, the higher the probability it will engage in more complex modes of internationalisation and that localisation economies and related variety positively affect export but not the firm’s multinational strategy.
