“…Other authors propose a broader analysis of the location determinants of service sectors or functions: this is the case, for example, with Tomlin (2008) who examines fourteen service sectors; Defever (2006Defever ( , 2012 takes into account five production and service functions in the same time (headquarters, R & D, production, logistics, and sales and marketing), whereas Py and Hatem (2009) develop an analysis encompassing seven functions (production, headquarters, R & D, logistics, sales, delivery of services, and call centers).…”

European Union (EU) is very attractive for foreign direct investment (FDI) in services and policy makers should know the reasons explaining investment location choices of foreign firms in order to attract them. This article explores FDI location determinants in service functions in the EU-28. Studies dealing with such an issue stay generally focused on the location of service functions in the manufacturing sector. Our assumption is that the location determinants of service functions may differ according to sectors. So, we propose to study whether the location pattern of some service functions is sector independent, whereas it is sector dependent for other service functions. Using a database developed by Ernst and Young, we estimate mixed logit models on foreign firms' location choices. Our contribution is to consider simultaneously three sectors and eight service functions for 271 European regions, during the period 1997 to 2011. Our fundamental findings are that service functions location choices are different according to sectors and that location Downloaded from determinants vary according to the service function considered. The only variables significant for all service functions are agglomeration variables. However, our contribution is to distinguish between different types of agglomeration (regional, sectorial, functional, and group agglomeration) and to show that some agglomeration variables act differently according to service functions.

“…This study is based on the "heterogeneous firm approach" (Melitz 2003), which is quite often applied in recent years, but only for manufacturing. Finally, Py and Hatem (2009) analyse the location of foreign investment projects of French companies, with host country attributes serving as explanatory variables. This study is, to our knowledge, the only one that differentiates between investments involving specific business functions.…”

Does the Explanatory Power of the OLI Approach Differ Among Sectors and Business Functions? Evidence from Firm-level Data

As services and goods differ with respect to important characteristics, one may expect that the determinants of internationalisation are not identical for services and manufacturing. Surprisingly, there is practically no firm-level research contrasting the two sectors in this respect. To fill this gap, the authors aim at identifying for the two sectors the determinants of a firm's propensity to engage in exports or FDI as well as the factors determining a firm's FDI strategy in terms of business functions. They find that an OLI-based model is well suited for explaining the propensity to go international as well as the differences between specific forms of FDI in terms of business functions both for manufacturing and services. As expected, the explanatory power of the OLI approach is stronger for manufacturing than service activities.Data available upon request (see the following link):http://www.economics-ejournal.org/data-availabilty-dp-2015-67/view JEL F23

“…Examples are the already mentioned studies of Brouthers and Brouthers (2003) and Jaklic et al (2012). Moreover, Py and Hatem (2009) estimated a model explaining the location of FDI projects differentiated by business functions, and Lejpras (2009) compared manufacturing and services in terms of the factors determining the type of internationalisation (exports, FDI or both). All in all, the empirical knowledge with respect to the specifics of the internationalisation of the two sectors is very limited (Merchant and Gaur, 2008).…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThe relevance of services FDI strongly increased over the last two decades. As goods and services differ with respect to important characteristics, one may expect that the determinants of internationalisation are not identical in manufacturing and the service sector. However, there is practically no firm-level research contrasting the two sectors in this respect. In order to fill this gap, we seek to identify for manufacturing and services, firstly, the determinants of a firm's propensity to go international (exports and/or foreign direct investment) and, secondly, the factors determining the complexity of a firm's direct foreign activities in terms of business functions. We find that an OLI-based model can be used to explain not only the propensity to go intenational but also differences between two specific forms of direct foreign investment for both the manufacturing and the service sector.
