58、何處的重要考慮。當企業(yè)水平上的固定成本和關稅總和高于工廠水平的固定成本，分散于多個工廠的生產(chǎn)比集中生產(chǎn)更為合適。在垂直多工廠生產(chǎn)的模型中，參與跨國生產(chǎn)的決策反映了企業(yè)進入外國市場的愿望（出于貿(mào)易成本的考慮）與企業(yè)集中在母國生產(chǎn)以達到規(guī)模經(jīng)濟愿望之間（母國市場效應）的權衡。最近，針對一般均衡下跨國企業(yè)貿(mào)易模型和垂直多工廠跨國企業(yè)一體化效應的研究，提出了一個綜合性的方法。研究結(jié)果顯示，當不同國家之間的相應要素稟賦差別很大時，垂直結(jié)構(gòu)的跨國企
