Abstract
This paper assesses the relevance of the Gravity model to investigations of alliance flows within and between countries. Accordingly we aim to identify how different distance dimensions impact the alliance partner choice. Inspired by economics research, we use the Gravity model to estimate and analyse bilateral alliance flows within countries and between country pairs. Our results show that the richer the companies’ home countries are, the more alliances are found between firms of these two countries. We also reveal that too much geographic and cultural distance between two countries decreases the number of alliances signed between firms of these countries.

- Domestic and international alliances,

Résumé
Cet article évalue la pertinence du modèle gravitaire pour comprendre les flux d’alliances bilatérales au sein d’un pays et entre différents pays. Inspirés par les recherches en économie, nous utilisons ce modèle pour identifier l’impact des différentes dimensions de la distance sur le choix du partenaire d’alliance. Nos résultats montrent que plus les pays sont riches, plus le nombre d’alliances entre les entreprises de ces pays est important. Nous révélons également que des distances géographique et culturelle trop importantes entre deux pays ont tendance à diminuer le nombre d’alliances signées entre les entreprises de ces pays.

Resumen
Este articulo evalúa la importancia sobre el modelo de Gravity para las investigaciones de flujos de alianzas locales y entre países. Nuestro objetivo es identificar cómo las diferentes dimensiones en distancia afectan la elección de un socio aliado. Inspirados en la investigación económica, utilizamos el modelo de Gravity para estimar y analizar los flujos de la alianza bilateral dentro de los países y entre pares de países. Nuestros resultados demuestran que cuantos más ricos son los países de origen de las empresas, más alianzas se crean entre las empresas de estos dos países. También demostramos que la lejanía geográfica y cultural entre dos países disminuye el número de alianzas.
Palabras clave:
