In this paper we use Taiwan as a case study to examine the interrelationship between foreign production and domestic production with a special focus on the role of reverse imports. We show that without considering reverse imports properly, the empirical results may be biased or even reversed. By endogenizing a firm's decisions on reverse imports as well as on domestic and foreign production, we show that foreign production has no significant substitution effect on domestic production, but it may have a significantly negative effect on domestic production indirectly through variables related to firms' characteristics, such as firm size, the export ratio, labor intensity, the destination of the FDI, and the affiliate's rate of return relative to its parent. Demand variables (e.g., market size, GDP per capita) and cost conditions (e.g., relative wages) do not play a significant role in affecting a multinational firm's domestic production. © Hitotsubashi University. |
