This paper examines how foreign ownership of a firm affects the variety of goods that it exports and the number of countries it trades with. The authors construct a simple theoretical model of how foreign ownership may affect these extensive margins of exports and apply it to data from Germany. The study concludes that foreign owned firms export more goods to more countries than domestically controlled firms.
