“…Immigrants therefore can contribute to the development of a regional knowledge pool, which can become the source for knowledge spillovers to companies (Gould, 1994). The factor of immigrants' knowledge, also called the ''immigrant information effect'' (Gould, 1994) or ''the information effect'' (Wagner, Head, & Ries, 2002), can provide firms with host-country knowledge that is valuable, rare, unique, and difficult to imitate (Chung, Rose, & Huang, 2012).…”

“…As a consequence of both the knowledge they possess from living in a certain environment and their ability to effectively obtain new knowledge about that environment from afar, immigrants have a positive effect on overcoming knowledge barriers between their home and host countries (Hernandez, 2014;Kugler & Rapoport, 2007), as long as firms can absorb their knowledge. Migrants can develop a comprehensive understanding of the language, the economic, cultural, and political systems, and the business practices of their home countries (Chung et al, 2012). The ''information effect'' (Wagner et al, 2002) can shorten a firm's learning process about a foreign host country and reduce the perceived psychic distance to the firm's host country (Zhao & Hsu, 2007).…”

Migrants are able to provide firms with knowledge about their country of origin. This can become a valuable source of knowledge for firms in the process of internationalization. Relating to a Knowledge-Based-View perspective, this paper explains how the resource commitment of firms to foreign countries is contingent on immigration from those countries: Immigrants' country knowledge reduces uncertainty and makes the governance of foreign operations more efficient. Moreover, this paper connects the relevance of knowledge for firm internationalization to institutional characteristics in immigrants' home and host countries, both of which policymakers can shape. We test predictions on more than 13,000 observations over a 14-year period (2003-2016). The paper identifies economically significant contingencies of a positive effect of immigration, which are robust to changes in model specification, measurement, and sampling. The results indicate how immigration can shape firms' investments abroad and have implications for developing policy as well as international business theory.
