The Laws of Globalization and Business Applications employs a variety
of empirical methodologies to establish two broad regularities that
apply to international activity at the firm, industry, and country
levels - the law of semiglobalization and the law of distance - and
explores some of their implications for business. Part I presents
evidence in support of the law of semiglobalization at the country and
the business levels historically and up to the present. Part II
performs an analogous function regarding the second law of
globalization, showing that the gravity models that international
economists have used to analyze merchandise trade between countries
also apply to other types of international interactions - and at the
industry and firm levels as well. Part III applies these laws to
various challenges and opportunities that distance along various
dimensions presents to multinational firms. A free online appendix
provides additional data, analysis, and documentation to support
research applications.
