Research Abstract

This research both theoretically and empirically examines what effects firm heterogeneity and the difference in market attributes and institutional factors have on the firm's decision of the production and export of goods and services, foreign direct investment, offshore outsourcing, R & D, and innovation. The theoretical studies present the unique dynamic general equilibrium model of innovation and the trade model of goods and services, and the statistical analysis, using the micro-level panel data, shows the empirical evidence on the relation between the firm heterogeneity, outsourcing and R & D.
