利用一个企业层面的数据集，我们研究了韩国跨国公司在中国各地区的选址决策。我们的条件逻辑估计证实了沿行业和国家层面的集聚效应。我们加入了一种上下游（后向和前向）关联效应。我们发现，上下游韩国关联企业的存在显著增加了一家韩国跨国公司在某一特定地区投资的可能性。然而，不按国籍区分的关联似乎并不太重要。因此，我们对投资者选址选择的分析综合了两种视角：关联以及沿国家层面的集聚。
With a firm-level data set, we study the location decision of South Korean multinationals across China's regions. Our conditional logit estimates confirm agglomeration effects along industry and along national lines. We add an upstream and downstream (backward and forward) linkage effect. We find that the presence of upstream and downstream South Korean affiliates significantly increases the likelihood that a South Korean multinational invests in a particular region. However, linkages that do not differentiate by nationality do not seem to matter much. As such, our analysis of investors' location choice brings together two perspectives: linkages and agglomeration along national lines.
