“…First, entrepreneurs located in higher-income countries who want to become important players in the international arena should locate in areas where other international players are concentrated, especially those that engage in outward FDI and international trade. From a country-level perspective, governments that hope to encourage export activities among new ventures may benefit from creating geographical zones specifically reserved for internationally oriented firms (Din 1994). Our findings imply that such zones in higher-income countries may help reduce the costs encountered by new ventures when they break into foreign markets.…”

We draw on the knowledge spillover literature to suggest that a country's proportion of export-oriented new ventures represents an outcome of knowledge spillovers that stem from foreign direct investment (FDI) and international trade (export spillovers) as well as a source of knowledge spillovers (entrepreneurship spillovers). To test the hypotheses, we use macrolevel data from 34 countries during the period 2002-2005. We find that the relationship between FDI and international trade on the one hand and a country's proportion of exportoriented new ventures on the other differs for higher-and lower-income countries. In addition, a country's proportion of export-oriented new ventures affects the subsequent emergence of new businesses.
