Abstract: 
In this paper we develop optimized localization strategies for multinational firms to over-come their liability of foreignness by adding a regional dimension. We explore concep-tually whether economic stress in a region has a mitigating or reinforcing effect. We test his analytical framework empirically on the highly internationalized German car market and find that economically depressed regions are promising stepping stones into foreign markets.
