      <dc:description>International diversification is predominantly assumed to have a mixed (either positive or&#xd;
negative) linear relationship with environmental performance in multinational enterprises&#xd;
(MNEs). Departing from this assumption, we use firm-specific advantages (FSA) and institutional&#xd;
theory to hypothesise that international diversification, due to recombination barriers, has a&#xd;
curvilinear U-shaped relationship with MNEs’ environmental performance. Because of their key&#xd;
roles as boosters of country-specific advantages (CSA), we also examine whether home country&#xd;
competitiveness and environmental levels moderate the proposed curvilinear relationship.&#xd;
Results from panel data of 298 MNEs between 2006 and 2017 from 21 different countries in 11&#xd;
sectors provide support for the main curvilinear relationship and the moderating influence of&#xd;
home country competitiveness. Our study contributes to the international business literature&#xd;
by casting doubt on the widely held assumption that international diversification always carries&#xd;
either positive or negative effects on environmental records.</dc:description>
