ABSTRACT

Research has established that multinational enterprises (MNEs) are attracted to locations with concentrated firms from the same home country to benefit from interactions with market forces such as suppliers, customers, competitors and partners, but it remains an open question whether such agglomeration plays a positive role in dealing with nonmarket actors such as the host government. We submit that country-of-origin agglomeration in a location can enhance co-ethnic MNEs’ bargaining power in relation to the host government. To tease out such bargaining benefits, we examine whether the effect of country-of-origin agglomeration on location choice is more salient when MNEs face more severe regulatory burdens and thus are in greater need of an improved bargaining position vis-à-vis the host government. Our empirical analysis shows that in times of higher political tensions, locations with country-of-origin agglomeration are more attractive to co-ethnic MNEs. The study adds to research on agglomeration economics and international business.
