Geographical Agglomeration of Indian and Chinese Multinationals in Europe: A Comparative Analysis (Preliminary version)

The outward FDI from emerging economies to developed countries is of great interest to international business researchers and policy makers, also with regard to their location and sectoral patterns. On the basis of a large pan-European firm level dataset, this study maps Indian and Chinese direct investment in Europe. The geographical agglomeration of multinational companies from these two large emerging countries is analysed and compared across Europe. The study focuses on the impact of firm specific advantages on the co-location of Indian and Chinese multinationals in Europe. A non-parametric statistic test is carried out to complete the analysis.
