In one (admittedly extreme) example of 'country-hopping', the athletics suppliers Nike during a recent five-year period closed 20 factories and opened 35 others at new sites, many of them thousands of miles away.22 In cases where plant relocation is difficult or unacceptably expensive, a transborder company can still increase its earnings through subterfuges of global accounting. With transfer-price manipulation, for example, the firm juggles its balance sheets so that profits are largely 'relocated' to those parts of the enterprise which are situated in countries or districts of lower taxation."
