The author considers an environment with two firms, one domestically owned and one a foreign‐owned multinational corporation (MNC), both producing in the host (domestic) country. It is found that there are three distinct dimensions that affect a country’s strategic policy towards domestically‐owned firms and foreign‐owned firms: the number of policy instruments available to the host government (whether or not it can tax/subsidize both types of firms), the location of the market (in the host country or a third country), and the extent of spillover of the foreign‐owned firms’ production.
