Trade, Multinational Production, and the Gains from Openness (2013, unknown): “…Europe export, on average, 30 percent of their output ðBlonigen 2005Þ. 5 Studies using firm-level data find evidence of such substitutability between trade and MP when considering narrow product lines ðsee Belderbos and Sleuwaegen 1988; Head and Ries 2001, 2004; Barba Navaretti and Venables 2004Þ.”
