Across more than 14 years of life, TNCR contributed 503 research documents across multidisciplinary themes. Most themes covered that broadly define the TNCR over this time include globalization, internationalization of firms, global supply chains, and institutional innovations: survey, time series, and quantitative studies. The essential purpose of the published work is to examine existing theories related to international trade and transnational corporations.

The Irish case is particularly relevant as Ireland has been experiencing increasing economic concentration in recent years, to the point that micro shocks to a few selected firms in 2015 led to significant level shifts in aggregate variables like GDP (+34 per cent) and, particularly, labour productivity (+23 per cent) and total factor productivity (−12 per cent).

To carry out the analysis, Auto Regressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL) on annual data from 1990 to 2020 is used. To select between Pooled Mean Group (PMG) Mean Group (MG) and Dynamic Fixed Effect (DFE) estimators of ARDL, the Hausman test is used. PMG turns out as a better estimator.
