Showcasing methodological rigour and state-of-the-art methods as
hallmarks of modern international business (IB) research, this book
offers a collection of the most relevant and highly cited research
methods articles from the Journal of International Business Studies
(JIBS). Each piece is accompanied by a new Commentary written by
experts in the field; some also include Further Reflections by the
original authors. Encompassing both qualitative and quantitative
approaches, this comprehensive volume explores research design,
testing and reporting, as well as specific methodological issues
such as endogeneity, common method variance, and theorising from
case studies. With recommendations for best practices relating to
interaction effects, hypothesis testing, and replicability, this
book is a unique and up-to-date reference source on the latest
research methods and practices in international business. The book
will also be essential reading for those studying any
sub-discipline of IB research, including international economics,
entrepreneurship, finance, management and marketing.
Looking at the new diplomacy between the multinational firm and the
nation-state, this book focuses on the interdependencies,
conflictual and co-operative, between the two primary actors in the
global economy. International contributors (UK, USA, Canada and
Sweden) from a variety of disciplines (international relations,
political science, public policy, economics and business studies)
discuss the theory and practice of MNE-state relations in the
1990s.
One of the reasons for the success of multinational enterprises in
their ability to create in their supranational organisations
"internal markets" which eliminate the imperfections of external
world markets caused by tariffs on trade, restrictions on the flow
of capital, information costs and so on. The method multinationals
use to create and sustain internal markets is transfer pricing.
Multinationals use to their advantage the difference between
nominal accounting and real transfers from their head offices to a
subsidiary in different countries to overcome transaction costs and
restrictions on trade and capital flows. This book, first published
in 1985, examines these and other aspects of multinationals' use of
transfer pricing. It puts forward original thinking and research
findings by leading experts in this area. Empirical results are
related to the activities of multinationals in less developed
countries. This volume covers the economic theories of transfer
pricing, accounting and fiscal practices and implications for
government policies and regulations, and will be of interest to
students of economics and business studies.
This authoritative research review discusses the most influential
papers relating to the economics of transfer pricing. The piece
notably covers the topic of transfer pricing in light of
divisionalization, government regulations, bargaining models,
market distortions and product characteristics as well as touching
on the important subjects of empirical estimates of transfer price
manipulation and transfer mispricing estimates. Written by Lorraine
Eden, one of the founders and a leading contributor to the field,
this research review promises to be useful reading for doctoral
students, faculty members and policy makers who wish to extend
their knowledge on the economics of transfer pricing.

The purpose of The Ethical Professor is to provide a road map to
some of the ethical dilemmas that doctoral students and newer
faculty members are likely to face as they enter a career in
academia (the Academy). Academic career paths appear to be quite
standard, transparent, and achievable with dedicated and hard work.
Argued in this book, however, is that the road map to a successful
academic career is not so easy. There are ethical pitfalls along
the way, starting with entry into academia as a new PhD student.
These ethical dilemmas remain equally opaque as faculty progress in
their careers. The ethical pitfalls that plague each of the steps
along the academic career path are often not visible to doctoral
students and young faculty members; nor are they well prepared to
spot them. Ethical issues are seldom discussed and little training
is provided on how to spot and handle these potential road blocks
to a successful career in the academy. Based on extant research and
collective years of academic experience, The Ethical Professor
seeks to shorten the learning curve around common ethical pitfalls
and issues by defining them, sharing research and experiences about
them, and offering a discussion framework for continued learning
and reflection. This innovative new volume will be key reading for
doctoral students and junior faculty members in social science
departments in colleges and universities, as well as managers
undertaking an MBA. Due to the increasing complexity of managing
academic institutions, more seasoned professors, administrators,
and college deans and presidents, will also benefit from the
research presented here.
Multinationals in the Global Political Economy looks at the new
diplomacy between the multinational firm and the nation-state,
focusing on the interdependencies, conflictual and co-operative,
between the two primary actors in the global economy. An
international group of scholars (the United Kingdom, the United
States, Canada and Sweden) from a variety of disciplines
(international relations, political science, public policy,
economics and business studies) discuss the theory and practice of
MNE-state relations in the 1990s.

In Governance, Multinationals and Growth, leading scholars
celebrate and build upon the pioneering work of Edward Safarian on
multinational enterprises and foreign direct investment. The book
explores the linkages among multinationals and foreign direct
investment, corporate and public governance, and economic growth.
The contributors pay particular attention to emerging policy issues
that include the behavior of individual governments,
intergovernmental organizations and civil society. In addition,
they address linkages among MNEs, their governance and economic
growth, and generic policy realities (and innovations) in a
small-to-medium-sized economy. The comprehensive coverage includes
discussion of: the impacts of foreign ownership on productivity and
growth; family controlled pyramidal groups and economic
nationalism; trade liberalization, product diversification and FDI
patterns; mergers and acquisitions as a form of FDI; uncertain
market access, risk aversion and state subsidies as locational
determinants within a free trade area; changes in the international
policy environment facing multinationals; environmental
investor-state disputes; and international economic policy issues
facing small economies with large neighbors. This authoritative
volume will be of great interest to scholars and students of
foreign direct investment and multinational enterprises, as well as
to government economists and policymakers tackling these issues.
Most governments keep balance of payments statistics on exports and
imports by value, and construct international price indexes in
order to deflate these statistics. How can intrafirm trades, trade
between related parties, bias the construction of these
international price indexes? Does transfer pricing, the price of
products traded between related party firms, bias the export and
import price indexes in any predictable fashion? If firms
manipulate transfer prices to avoid taxes or tariffs, what is the
appropriate transfer price to use in constructing export and import
price indexes, in theory and in practice? These issues are
important because related party trade is large, representing half
of U.S. imports and one-third of U.S. exports, and perhaps a third
of worldwide merchandise trade flows. This paper explains how
transfer pricing and intrafirm trade can bias the construction of
export and import price indexes, outlines and evaluates the various
prices that could be used to construct these indexes, and makes
some recommendations for the international price program run by the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Most governments keep balance of payments statistics on exports and
imports, by value, andconstruct international prices indexes in
order to deflate these statistics. How can intrafirm trade(IFT),
trade between related parties such as multinational enterprises
(MNEs), bias theconstruction of these international price indexes?
Economists have known for many years thatthe prices set by MNEs for
intrafirm transfers -- transfer prices --- are normally not the
prices that would be negotiated between arm's length parties
(Diewert 1985, Eden 1985, Horst 1971).Does transfer pricing bias
the export and import price indexes in any predictable fashion?
