What Separates Us? Sources of Resistance to Globalization (2013, unknown): “Huang (2007) investigates an implication of Grossman’s hypothesis that distance proxies for familiarity.”
Zoom in, zoom out: Geographic scale and multinational activity (2018, background): “Unlike iceberg costs that change smoothly and continuously with distance, the institutional components of spatial transaction costs are associated with ‘‘unfamiliarity’’ (Huang, 2007) jump discontinuously at national borders (Beugelsdijk and Mudambi, 2013).”
Gravity and culture in foreign portfolio investment (2012, methodology): “We follow Huang (2007) by including the aggregate cultural distance term, Dist, in multiplicative form in relation to geographical distance, Dist, to form the Dist*Dist variable.”
How remote are R&D labs? Distance factors and international innovative activities (2013, background): “Several contributions in international trade have acknowledged the specific role of cultural and social barriers in international trade, which should be analytically distinguished from geographic distance (Casella & Rauch, 2003; Frankel & Rose, 2002; Guiso, Sapienza, & Zingales, 2009; Huang, 2007).”
