''A gravity model for foreign re-investment''
( 2015, Vol. 35 No.1 )
 
 
This paper broadens the scope of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) models by deriving a gravity equation for foreign re-investment. Re-investments in foreign subsidiaries are an equally frequent and unstudied phenomenon in international economics. However, previous empirical studies estimate a negative effect of distance. Our framework sets the theoretical ground for this finding and extends gravity's reach within FDI.
