本文通过一个直接测量国外外包的企业数据集，对产品周期和企业的制造或购买决策提供了经验证据。在各个行业中，外国外包往往不活跃于研发密集型行业。在每一个产业中，母国出口的产品平均比外包给独立外国公司的产品研发密集程度高得多。在南方的子公司内生产的产品往往具有中等的研发强度。这种R&D强度排序与理论预测一致。
This article provides empirical evidence on the product cycle and the firm's make-or-buy decision by using a firm-level data set with a direct measure of foreign outsourcing. Across industries, foreign outsourcing tends to be inactive in R&D-intensive industries. Within each industry, products exported from the home country are on average significantly more R&D intensive than those outsourced to independent foreign firms. Products manufactured within subsidiaries at South tend to have medium R&D intensity. This ordering in R&D intensity is consistent with the theoretical prediction.
