“…The multi-nationality matrix developed by Aggarwal et al (2011) was extended and tested to classify 233 fruit export firms according to their internationalization strategies over a seven-year period from 2009 to 2015. Overall, the results are in line with previous studies (Chetty and Campbell-Hunt, 2003;Aggarwal et al, 2011;Berrill and Mannella, 2013;O'Hagan-Luff and Berrill, 2016) showing that most companies are not home regionally oriented but are mainly transregionally (65.12%) and globally oriented (16.06%). These results show that firms in the Latin American agricultural sector have similarities in strategical behavior with firms from other sectors or industrialized countries with regard to their internationalization classification.…”

“…In this analysis, time is considered by only including firms with uninterrupted exports over the seven-year period. Possible survivor bias effect is acknowledged (Rugman and Verbeke, 2008) but it permits exploring the changes and the path or patterns of firms' internationalization and the speed of the process (Mullen and Berrill, 2015;Chadha and Berrill, 2016;O'Hagan-Luff and Berrill, 2016).…”

“…In this regard, the most employed classification systems for firms' internationalization level are the multi-nationality classification developed by Rugman and Verbeke's (2004) and the matrix of multi-nationality developed by Aggarwal et al (2011). Results of previous empirical studies find geographic internationalization strategies as mixed, with some arguing that most firms are regionally oriented (Rugman and Verbeke, 2004;Delios and Beamish, 2005;Cerrato, 2009;Sethi, 2009;Rugman, Oh and Lim, 2012;Banalieva and Dhanaraj, 2013;Rugman and Oh, 2013), while others claim that firms are more globally oriented (Osegowitsch and Sammartino, 2008;Aggarwal et al, 2011;Berrill and Mannella, 2013;O'Hagan-Luff and Berrill, 2016).…”

“…Chetty and Campbell-Hunt (2003) define internationalization as a series of processes in which firms must adapt to fit into international markets, suggesting that internationalization is a dynamic process, and does not only occur in one. This implies the inclusion of deinternationalization when a firm reduces its presence in international markets (Chetty and Campbell-Hunt, 2003) and re-internationalization when firms re-enter international markets (O'Hagan-Luff and Berrill, 2016).…”

There is a continuing debate regarding firms' internationalization pathways and the approaches used for firm categorization, resulting in controversial identification of the degree of firms' globalization. The aim of this paper is to establish a framework to examine the changes in the internationalization strategies of agricultural export companies from emerging economies over time. Thereby seeking to identify conceptual and empirical differences in what is known of export firms acting in non-agricultural sectors in industrialized countries. The matrix of multi-nationality developed by Aggarwal et al. (2011) is extended and tested to classify 233 Chilean fresh fruit exporters according to their internationalization strategies. A longitudinal analysis is conducted over a seven-year period (2009-2015) to explore the dynamics on that internationalization process. Most firms are "transregionally" (65.12%) and "globally" oriented (16.06%), mainly following a linear internationalization path in terms of number of markets but acting more as "born-global" firms in terms of psychic distance. This study provides a more inclusive and nuanced framework than those used in previous studies to classify the level of firms' internationalization. It also contributes to existing literature by studying companies from the agricultural sector in Chile longitudinally, as a prime example of emerging economies from Latin America.

In this paper we analyse the role of a news-based index of geopolitical risks (GPRs), in predicting volatility jumps in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) over the monthly period of 1899:01 to 2017:12, with the jumps having been computed based on daily data over the same period. Standard linear Granger causality test failed to detect any evidence of GPRs causing volatility jumps. But given strong evidence of nonlinearity and structural breaks between jumps and GPRs, we next used a nonparametric causality-in-quantiles test, since the linear model is misspecified. Using this data-driven robust approach we were able to detect overwhelming evidence of GPRs predicting volatility jumps of the DJIA over its entire conditional distribution. In addition, a cross-quantilogram analysis shows that what matters most for increases in volatility jumps are relatively higher GPRs than lower values of the same.
