CATEGORIZING THE LIABILITY OF FOREIGNNESS:OWNERSHIP, LOCATION, AND INTERNALIZATION-SPECIFIC DIMENSIONS
Speaker: Nan Zhou, (PhD University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School) assistant professor at SKOLKOVO Moscow School of Management
Time: October 20th (Thursday) 12:30pm-14:00pm
Location: Wanzhong Building(万众小教室)National School of Development, Peking U.
Abstract
This study bridges the literature on the liability of foreignness (LoF) and cross-national distance. Following the ownership-location-internalization (OLI) paradigm, we categorize the LoF into three dimensions: ownership-specific LoF, location-specific LoF, and internalization-specific LoF, each of which reduces a specific advantage of the multinational firm. We first define the three dimensions of the LoF and then argue that each dimension is related to different types of costs. We further explain that different types of costs are associated with different dimensions of cross-national distance, and firms face different types of the LoF and associated costs when they conduct different types of foreign direct investment. We test these hypotheses in the context of Chinese listed firms investing abroad, finding support for most of the predictions.
Keywords: liability of foreignness, distance, foreign entry
