Location Decision of Heterogeneous Multinational Firms (2009, methodology): “This approach is inspired by Head and Mayer (2004) and Head and Ries (2008), who estimate a trade and FDI equation, respectively, with origin and destination fixed effects and construct a measure of destination-market attractiveness to control for unobserved country characteristics.”
Study on the Impact of the Euro on Trade and Foreign Direct Investment (2008, unknown): “Head and Ries (2007) develop a model of cross-border M&A activity where a mother company has a randomly assigned advantage in controlling the company in host nation, but faces a disadvantage in monitoring technology that gets more severe with geographical distance. The likelihood that firms in a par”
The impact of mega-sport events on tourist arrivals (2011, background): “…as international trade (Armstrong, 2007 and Fratianni, 2007 provide two recent surveys on the broad use of gravity models on trade), foreign direct investment (Eichengreen and Tong, 2007; Bergstrand and Egger, 2007; Head and Ries, 2008) or migrations (Karemera et al., 2000; Gallardo et al., 2006).”
Gravity Equations: Workhorse,Toolkit, and Cookbook (2013, background): “Head and Ries (2001) propose a simple solution to cancel those exporter terms, multiplying (23) by Xin Xii .”
Does the Single Currency Affect Foreign Direct Investment (2011, methodology): “To determine the multinational firm’s pay-off, we follow Head and Ries (2008).”
Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (2011, unknown): “Despite this, the number of observations is much smaller than with the FDI stock data.11 Finally, we employ data on cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) that have been used in such studies as Rossi and Volpin (2004) and Head and Ries (2008).”
Estimating the effects of non‐discriminatory trade policies within structural gravity models (2017, background): “9 Examples include Eaton and Kortum (2002), Head and Ries (2008), Anderson and Yotov (2012) and Head and Mayer (2014).”
Improvements in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Rankings: Do they Translate into Greater Foreign Direct Investment Inflows? (2011, background): “Researchers consistently use GDP, GDP growth, GDP per capita and/or other variants of GDP as determinants of FDI (Blonigen 2011, Alfaro, Chanda, Kalemli-Ozcan, Sayek 2009, Di Giovanni 2005 and Head & Ries 2008).”
The Effects of Financial Development on Foreign Direct Investment (2014, background): “21While most papers discussing the impact of agglomeration on FDI seem to have in mind greenfield FDI, a high volume of existing sector-specific activity can also play a role in the case of M&A FDI by increasing the quantity (Head and Ries, 2008) and potentially the quality of potential targets.”
