Abstract

It is possible for multinational firms to reduce the risk of their profits by engaging in foreign operations (F/T). Empirical rests show that the (F/T) variable is inversely related to risk after allowing for size, industry classification, and other factors. This implies that international diversification offers to a multinational firm significant risk reduction advantages that are not available to a nonmultinational.© 1976 JIBS.
