Consider two identical countries (H and F) with the same individual firm's inverse demand function: P₁ = A - Bq₁. Firms differ in their marginal costs, c. Firms in country I want to sell their products in Country F through export or horizontal FDI. Firms need to pay the unit trade cost t when exporting. If the firm chooses to undertake FDI, the firm needs to pay a fixed cost, F. (a) Solve the profit function for firms with marginal production costc, in the domestic market (7), export market (*) and the profit if undertaking FDI (7) in terms of A, B, t, F and c. (b) Based on our discussion in class, low - c firms are more likely to participate FDI. Solve the cutoff marginal cost for undertaking FDI. i 3 1.
