摘要:This article provides an up-to-date, comprehensive synthesis and evaluation of the existing litera-
ture on multinational firms and foreign direct investment. Unlike most previous reviews it com-
bines several insights showing their inconsistencies and complementarities. Through a chronolog-
ical description it presents the main strands since the earliest perfect competition studies from the
1960s till some new recent contributions such as the knowledge-capital model, heterogeneous firms
models, and internalisation issues. The paper also offers a new perspective, by reviewing the avail-
able computable general equilibrium models that include multinationals and foreign direct invest-
ment.
