许多研究表明，只有少数高生产率的企业会进行FDI，但很少有研究考虑特定国家的属性如何影响企业的国际化选择。本文旨在研究哪些因素会影响海外生产的生产率界限，以及这些因素如何影响企业的活动：海外生产的规模、经营海外生产的公司数量、国内和海外的平均销售额，以及海外生产与国内生产的相对份额。本文的理论和实证检验结果表明，较大的市场规模和较短的两个市场之间的距离降低了日本企业海外生产的生产率界限，而较大的市场和较短的距离都增加了在海外经营的公司数量和海外生产规模。
Many studies have shown that a small number of firms with high productivity carry out FDI, but few studies have considered how country-specific attributes affect firm's choice of internationalization. This paper aims to investigate what factors vary the productivity-cutoff for overseas production and how these factors affect the activities of firms: the size of overseas production, the number of firms operating overseas production, the average domestic and overseas sales, and the relative share of overseas production to domestic production. The results of theoretical and empirical examination in this paper show that larger market size and shorter distance between two markets lower the productivity-cutoff for overseas production of Japanese firms, and that both larger market and shorter distance increase the number of firms operating overseas and the size of their overseas production.
