The shareholder wealth effects of high-cost manufacturing decisions

Abstract

Firms are increasingly relocating their production to high-cost environments. Yet, there is no academic evidence on the shareholder value implications of this move. In this paper we address this gap in the literature by analyzing the shareholder wealth effects of high-cost manufacturing (HCM) announcements.
