Nine Investments Abroad and Their Impact at Home: Case Studies in Multinational Enterprises and the United States Economy - Hardcover

When an American corporation buys, builds, or enlarges a factory in a foreign country, what does that do to the economy of the United States? Does it create jobs at home or eliminate them? Does it help or hurt the nation's balance of payments? Do the long-term effects differ from the short-term ones? The authors of this book have investigated nine investment decisions in nine major industries, estimating the domestic results both with and without the investment.
