Summary:

This paper examines the local market and export orientation of the affiliates of Japanese and United States transnational corporations (TNCs) in East Asian countries using up-to-date affiliate-level panel data for the period 1989-2005. The main results suggest that the export strategies of TNC affiliates reflect the distinct national characteristics. Japanese affiliates in East Asia, especially in China, have a higher propensity to export to the home country compared with United States affiliates. United States affiliates in China have a higher propensity to export to third-country markets. On the other hand, the share of local sales for these two groups of foreign affiliates have become similar over time.
