Asymmetric Effects of Corruption on FDI: Evidence from Swedish Multinational Firms (2008, methodology): “…affiliate sales into affiliate local sales to the host country market, affiliate exports back to Sweden, and affiliate exports to third countries.7 Following Braconier, Norbäck, and Urban (2005), these different categories can broadly be considered as vertical, horizontal, and export platform FDI.”
The Impact of Horizontal and Vertical FDI on Host's Country Economic Growth (2008, unknown): “VFDI is traditionally related to the desire of MNEs to carry out unskilled-labor intensive production activities in locations that are relatively abundant with unskilled labor ( Braconier, Norback, & Urba, 2005; Markusen, 1995).”
Why and how FDI stocks are a biased measure of MNE affiliate activity (2010, background): “Since labor productivity is highly correlated with wage rates (Braconier et al., 2005), we measure the average labor productivity of US foreign affiliates in a host country by the average wage rate of employees of these affiliates.”
