本文分析了企业网络对日本国界效应的影响。我们使用日本四个机械行业（电气，一般，精密和运输机械）的国际和区域间贸易数据估计重力方程。机械行业是日本出口和对外直接投资（FDI）最重要的制造业部门。通过考虑国际以及区域间的公司网络，我们发现，所有权关系通常会提高出口从母公司建立。因此，从1980年到1995年，精密机械（运输、通用电气）产业的边界效应下降了15%（7%、1%和0.5%），其原因在于国际网络的扩大。
This paper analyzes the impact of firm networks on Japan's national border effect. We estimate gravity equations using data on Japan s international and interregional trade in four machinery industries (electrical, general, precision and transportation machinery). The machinery sector is the most important manufacturing sector for exports and outward foreign direct investment (FDI) in Japan. By taking into account international as well as interregional firm networks, we find that ownership relations usually enhance exports from parent firms to establishment. Consequently we can explain 15% (7%, 1% and 0.5%) of the decline in Japan's border effect from 1980 to 1995 in precision (transportation, general electrical) machinery sector by the increase of international networks.
