The OLI framework is the basis of the stylised literature on FDI by MNEs.
“The stylised literature on foreign direct investment (FDI) by multinational enterprises (MNEs) has at its basis the ownership-location-internalisation (OLI) framework (Buckley and Casson, 1976; Dunning, 1979, 1988).”

Early contributions to internalization drew on neoclassical marginal analysis and ignored or underplayed the importance of dynamics, learning, and capability augmentation.
“Early contributions to internalization, such as Hymer (1976), Buckley and Casson (1976), and, to some extent, Williamson (1981), drew to varying degrees on neoclassical marginal analysis and ignored or underplayed the importance of dynamics and, in particular, learning and capability augmentation.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
