Our reul highligh why large ounrie are more likely o ara aquiiion invemen, while inermediae ized ounrie may be erved predominanly hrough rade, even in he preene of high ariff. Small ounrie are mo likely o experiene eiher DI or no enry. We alo how how hee reul vary wih he ompeiion ineniy in he ho ounry. DI fixed o, ariff and ranpor o are ruial no only in deermining wheher o engage in DI or rade, bu hey are alo hown o influene he aquiiion hoie a rade and DI hrea influene he aquiiion prie. inally we explore he welfare impliaion of ariff reduion for boh he loal firm and he mulinaional and inveigae poliial moive o impoe endogenou ariff ha influene no only he welfare of a loal firm, bu alo he enry mode of he mulinaional. * We hank homa ueller and wo referee for valuable ommen. heo Eiher hank Ceifo for i hopialiy.

2 1. Inroduion Eaern Europe provided a naural experimen o examine mulinaional' NC enry deiion, a raniion eonomie were largely loed o rade, invemen and aquiiion unil he lae In he following deade, he ubequen paern of NC enry proved o be muh more divere han iniially predied. 1 A NC DI/aquiiion and expor paern differed o remarkably aro raniion eonomie, he analyi of he deerminan of NC enry mode reeived renewed inere e.g., UN 1999; World Bank 00. In hi paper we eek o examine how marke ruure, marke ize, ariff and ranpor o influene he enry behavior of NC. he previou heoreial lieraure on NC enry mode i eparaed ino hree imporan area. One rand examine DI/muliplan-produion e.g., Dunning 1981, Ehier 198, arkuen 1984, Helpman 1984, A eond e of model explore raegi ape of he DI/rade deiion, uh a ariff jumping DI e.g., agee 1977, Hormann and arkuen 199, oa 199, Bukley and Caon 1998, and a hird aegory analyze he hoie beween DI and aquiiion/join venure e.g., Hennar and Park, 199, Smarzynka, 000, and ueller, 001 in he abene of ariff and ranpor o. We ombine key ape of eah of he previou approahe o onru one inegraed heoreial framework ha allow for all hree enry mode. hi allow 1 he inenive for enry baed on new and expanding marke, killed labor, and o a leer degree low labor o a well a he urpriing diveriy of invemen and enry mode aro ounrie i doumened in many urvey, e.g., Collin and Rodrik 1991, EBRD 1994, eyer 001, and anke and Venable 199. Empirial model of enry mode inlude u 00, eyer 001 and Davi, Deai and rani 000 who inveigae iniuional ape, Heniz 000, who examine poliial hazard, Shenkar 001 and Brouher and Brouher 001 who fou on ulural diane, eyer and Erin 001 and Siripaialpipa and Hohino 000 who examine he imporane of reoure ranfer and NC peifi advanage, and Brouher, Brouher and Werner 1999, who inveigae he imporane of Dunning' 1981 OI variable. 1

3 u o examine he deerminan of NC enry deiion a a funion of ariff/ranpor o, DI fixed o, marke ize and marke ruure. Our reul indiae ha enry deiion an be onvenienly grouped by he degree of ompeiion or produ differeniaion. High degree of ompeiion redue he likelihood ha NC oexi wih loal firm, a he low o produer i poied o remain he monopoly upplier. Suffiienly weak ompeiion allow for oexiene and rih raegi enry mode ineraion beween loal firm and NC. hi reul find empirial uppor in World Bank 1999 where differenial rade and DI experiene of raniion eonomie are explained by he degree of monopoly proeion and ariff proeion during he early age of privaizaion, and by differenial degree of willingne of ounrie o bow o EU and WO preure o inreae ompeiion and lower ariff. Collin and Rodrik 1991 repor urvey reul ha indiae he imporane of marke ruure a a pereived araion for invemen in Eaern Europe. If an NC ener, we how ha he enry mode depend on invemen o, ariff/ranporaion o, ompeiion and loal marke ize. No urpriingly, rade enry deline in ariff and ranpor o, giving rie o DI, aquiiion, or no-enry depending on fixed o and marke ize. he fa ha no only ariff, bu alo ranpor o maer i a key finding of Collin and Rodrik 1991, who how ha proximiy o he EU i an imporan ape in he deiion o expor or inve. DI, in onra, i hown o deline in fixed o, induing rade, aquiiion, or noenry, depending on marke ize and degree of ompeiion. Aquiiion inreae in monopoly profi and marke ize, epeially if DI and rade an be ued a enry hrea. hee reul onfirm he finding ummarized in arkuen 1995 urvey of

4 NC enry deiion ha DI inreae relaive o rade when ariff and ranpor o are high. Below we exend hi reul and highligh i dependene on he degree of ompeiion and fixed o. rade enry i hown o be mo likely in ounrie ha are loaed loe o he NC produion loaion, impoe low ariff, or repreen inermediae ized marke. In large marke, i i opimal for he NC o ue rade or DI hrea o aquire he loal firm and beome a monopoly upplier. In mall marke, wih lile demand and low good prie, aquiiion and rade beome unlikely in he fae of ariff beaue an NC i unable o reover he aquiiion prie or marginal produion o. In uh mall marke DI i only poible if fixed o are exremely low or ompeiion and hene he NC o advanage i ignifian. anke and Venable 199 onfirm ha he ho ounry marke ize i a driving fore behind he DI in Eaern Europe. Our reul regarding he relaionhip beween invemen/rade o and he NC inenive for DI/rade enry are akin o Hormann and arkuen 199 who onider he emergene of an NC in idenial ounrie wihin homogeneou good. he added dimenion here i ha we furher differeniae he Hormann and arkuen reul a a funion of marke ize, ompeiion and invemen/rade o. urhermore we offer he NC an addiional enry mode by allowing for aquiiion. Bukley and Caon 1998 exend oa 199 expor/di analyi o inlude liening, o find ha ariff and ranpor o enourage DI, while Hill, e al 1990 find ha he exiene of large monopoly ren favor aquiiion over DI. hee reul are akin o our, for given level of invemen/rade o and marke ize. We hen

5 allow invemen/rade o and marke ize o vary and oberve he reuling dynami hange in enry deiion. Hennar and Park 199 examine he hoie beween DI and aquiiion, prediing ha higher rae of growh in he arge marke inreae inveor inenive o ener hrough aquiiion. hi onfirm ueller 001 reul and our ae of he prohibiive ariff. If ariff are low, however, relaively large marke may well be erved by rade or DI, depending on he relaive ize of fixed o and he degree of ompeiion. We hen proeed o examine he rade and welfare impliaion aoiaed wih differen enry mode and ariff level. he analyi reveal he urpriing reul ha he loal firm may no alway be harmed by lowered ariff. Clearly, an exporing NC i beer off a ariff are lowered if i hooe rade over DI. hi welfare gain ranlae ino he uual welfare lo for he impor ompeing loal firm. If lowered ariff and rade reaion indue NC o wih o rade raher han hooe DI, prie in he loal marke may rie. oal firm may indeed benefi from uh a ariff reduion, if he prie gain ouweigh marke hare loe. aly we inveigae how poliial preure may give rie o endogenou ariff ha influene NC enry mode.
