本文使用中国的数据发现，制造业和外国投资活动的聚集所产生的聚集经济，加上更好的市场准入，影响了外国制造商的选址。外国企业被吸引到有投资激励措施的城市，但它们避开劳动力成本高的地点。地点模式也表明原产国的影响。美国、香港和台湾的制造商往往重视进入国内市场，而日本投资者则青睐港口城市。进一步的分析表明，在部门一级存在国别影响的来源。
Using data from China, this article finds that agglomeration economies derived from the clustering of manufacturing and foreign investment activities, combined with better access to markets, influence the location of foreign manufacturers. Foreign enterprises are attracted to cities with investment incentives, but they avoid high labour cost locations. The locational patterns also suggest country of origin effects. American, Hong Kong and Taiwanese manufacturers tend to value access to domestic markets, while Japanese investors favour port cities. Further analysis indicates the presence of origin of country effects at the sectoral level.
