Abstract
This paper presents a simple model to illustrate the following idea: domestic rivals may
be motivated to set up foreign production in the same country because the replication of
each other’s foreign direct investment (FDI) facilitates collusive behaviour in the market in
which they compete. This implies positive interdependence between firms’ FDI decisions,
i.e. foreign investment by one firm brings increased incentive for others to follow suit.
