Tariff jumping DFI and export substitution: Japanese electronics firms in Europe
Article Abstract:
A correlationship was noted between the implementation of trade restricting policies in Europe and the number of direct Japanese foreign investments (DFI) in the region during the latter part of 1980s. Europe's implementation of antidumping and other trade restricting policies specifically aimed at Japanese companies has resulted in a considerable rise in Japanese manufacturing investments in the region. The decision of Japanese firms to undertake direct foreign investment in Europe to avoid such policies has produced a substitution for exports from Japan.

Cascadig contingent protection and vertical market structure
Article Abstract:
The use of the sequential petitioning model on the model of vertical market structure adequately explains the protection required by downstream industries of the upstream industry. The requirement for protection is intimately related to the market structure characteristics. This can be seen under conditions where there is a great concentration of the intermediates good industry, a substantial penetration of imports in the industry and the non-concentration of the final goods industry, where the requirement for cascading contingent protection is great.

Life duration of foreign multinational subsidiaries: evidence from UK northern manufacturing industry 1970-93
Article Abstract:
An examination of survival patterns exhibited by the subsidiaries of foreign multinationals show an increasing trend toward independence. The independence is relative, only in terms of operations and is shown to be a function of the entry strategy, plant size and industrial concentration, rather than the proximity of the parent firm and location. Subsidiaries that entered a market as a greenfield entrant showed higher survival rates than market entry as an acquisition.
