Chinese and Indian Multinationals: A Firm-level Analysis of their Investments in Europe
Global Economic Review, 44, 4: 452-469
This article is co-authored with Vito Amendolagine and Claudio Cozza

In relation to the mode of entry, we find that greenfield investments are a more likely option for large-sized companies. Moreover a high propensity for innovation is associated with a high probability to enter with an acquisition and with technological asset-seeking investments.
