TL;DR: In this article, a time-cost tradeoff during the establishment of manufacturing plants abroad based on U.S. technology is investigated and the determinants of these elasticities are analyzed.
Abstract: This paper postulates and tests for a time-cost tradeoff during the establishment of manufacturing plants abroad based on U.S. technology. Data on twenty international projects are used to estimate negatively sloped tradeoff functions for which time-cost elasticities are subsequently calculated. The determinants of these elasticities are then analyzed and shown to bear some similarities with the determinants of time-cost tradeoffs in technological innovation. The elasticity measurements were higher for projects where the technology had not been previously commercialized, for large-scale projects, and for projects carried out by the larger firms.
