外国直接投资（FDI）是网络化的。这超出了垂直和水平FDI。子公司分布在多个国家和他们之间的贸易。本文使用日本的外国子公司数据对FDI网络进行了研究。首先，我们考察了外国子公司的区位模式和产业模式，发现了FDI的网络结构。然后，第三国的公司内贸易进行了探讨。企业边界内的第三国销售和采购（第三国企业内贸易）十分活跃，但只有大企业才倾向于构建生产网络和从事第三国企业内贸易。公司规模（母公司和子公司的规模以及子公司的数量）对理解第三国公司内部贸易至关重要。
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is networked. This is beyond vertical and horizontal FDIs. Affiliates locate across multiple countries and trade among them. This paper investigates the FDI networks, using the Japanese foreign affiliate data. First, we investigate location patterns and industry patterns of foreign affiliates and find the network structure of FDI. Then, third-country intra-firm trade is explored. The third-country sales and sourcing within the firm boundary (third-country intra-firm trade) is active, but only large firms tend to construct production networks and engage third-country intra-firm trade. Firm size (size of parent and affiliates and the number of affiliates) is crucial in understanding third-country intra-firm trade.
