Explaining the Clustering of International Expansion Moves: A Critical Test in the U.S. Telecommunications Industry (2005, background): “New firms and firms seeking market expansion favor particular locations already occupied by other firms, leading to geographic agglomerations (Porter, 1990; Shaver & Flyer, 2000).”
Determinants of Locations of Foreign Direct Investment in China (2006, background): “As firms agglomerate in a region, it becomes easier to access the competitors’ knowledge at a lower cost and to cultivate and attract a large specialized labour force (Chung and Kalnins, 2001; Shaver and Flyer, 2000).”
The Scope and Governance of International R&D Alliances (2004, positive): “…up in technology development projects may be different for leading and lagging firms, in a similar way that the incentives to agglomerate differ (Shaver and Flyer, 2000): market leaders are more likely to want to ‘go it alone’ to protect firm-specific know-how, while laggards may be willing to…”
Location Matters: Where We Have Been and Where We Might Go in Agglomeration Research (2008, background): “Much of the discussion thus far has focused almost exclusively on the benefits of agglomeration; however, some scholars (e.g., Pouder & St. John, 1996; Prevezer, 1997; Shaver & Flyer, 2000) point out the potential for negative externalities as an agglomeration grows larger and ages.”
An institutional approach to cross-national distance (2010, background): “Proximity to knowledge has been argued to influence the location choice of multinational firms (Anand & Kogut, 1997; Berry, 2006; Guler & Guillén, 2010; Nachum et al., 2008; Shaver & Flyer, 2000), because of the potential for spillovers.”
Real options and foreign affiliate divestments: A portfolio perspective (2009, result): “This is in line with Shaver and Flyer (2000), who also report very comparable results of duration and probit models in their analysis of divestments by foreign affiliates in the US.”
Distributed R&D, Cross-Regional Knowledge Integration and Quality of Innovative Output (2008, neutral): “6 locating far from direct competitors, allocating relatively less vulnerable projects to high-risk clusters and relying on the firm’s worldwide complementary capabilities to leverage knowledge (Shaver and Flyer, 2000; Chung and Alcacer, 2002; Zhao, 2006; Alcacer and Zhao, 2006).”
Prior to reshoring: A duration analysis of foreign manufacturing ventures (2015, background): “Firms may also seek co-location with other manufacturing establishments (Audretsch, 1998; Shaver and Flyer, 2000; Temouri et al., 2010).”
FROM CONCEPTION TO BIRTH: OPPORTUNITY PERCEPTION AND RESOURCE MOBILIZATION IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP (2003, background): “domestic manufacturers realize the highest returns (Chung, 2001; Shaver & Flyer, 2000 ).”
The Location Choice of Foreign Direct Investments: Empirical Evidence and Methodological Challenges (2017, background): “…of 153) with only a few from other countries, notably China (e.g., Kang & Jiang, 2012; Ramasamy, Yeung, & Laforet, 2012), South Korea (e.g., Chang & Park, 2005; Kang & Lee, 2007), Germany and the UK (e.g., Buch, Kleinert, Lipponer, Toubal, & Baldwin, 2005; Hernandez, 2014; Shaver & Flyer, 2000).”
Location, collocation and R&D alliances in the European ICT industry (2009, background): “, or it may result in an adverse selection of co-located firms (Shaver and Flyer, 2000).”
Desperately Seeking Spillovers?: Increasing Returns, Industrial Organization and the Location of New Entrants in Geographic and Technological Space (2007, positive): “Although more persuasive evidence and a more nuanced understanding of the role of knowledge spillovers in the dynamics of industrial clustering are emerging from these recent micro-geographic analyses, they have not yet examined how entrants resolve the conundrum that by locating where they may bene”
Are there really high-tech clusters? The geographic concentration of German manufacturing industries and its determinants (2006, background): “A second explanation why spillovers may not spur agglomeration has been addressed by Shaver and Flyer (2000) .”
