520			_aIt is widely held that Multinational Enterprises (MNE) arise as a consequence of the existence of knowledge-based firm-specific assets such as superior technology or management know-how. These assets are much like public goods with the firm in that they can be costlessly supplied to additional plants, thus leading to the efficiency of multi-plant (MNE) production. Foreign direct investment (FDI) then consists of supplying the services of the assets to foreign operations and repatriated earnings are payments for these services. FDI and trade in producer services become conceptually very similar. These notions are formalized in a simple model of the MNE, and the implications for the gains from foreign investment, the role of public policy, and our balance-of-payment accounts are analyzed
