Countries with large economies and high per capita incomes are more likely to produce goods that use technologies requiring long production runs. These countries develop industries to serve their large domestic markets, which in turn tend to also be competitive in export markets. On the other hand, given its capacity the technologically intensive company from a small nation may have a compelling need to sell abroad. In turn, this need would pull resources from other industries within the firm’s domestic market, thereby causing more national specialization than in a larger nation.
