Japanese Exports and Foreign Direct Investment

Focusing on international competition in manufacturing, this book analyzes the rivalry among firms across national borders and its impact on trade and investment. Through empirical studies of Japanese firms from the late 1950s to the early 2000s, it explores how market structure influences export pricing and trade performance. Additionally, it delves into strategic interactions affecting foreign direct investment, examining phenomena like 'bunching' and their implications for market entry and performance after entry.
