Book excerpt: From the back cover: Foreign direct investment and multinational enterprises play a major but controversial role in Canada. Why do we see multinational enterprises use the subsidiary to transfer their techniques and products rather than national enterprises selling their products to foreigners through markets? What impacts do multinational enterprises have on the economic growth, balance of payments, industrial performance, and national independence of the home country? Professor Safarian addresses these questions, and others, as he surveys the research of Canadian economists in this field. Although economists have recently produced more and better analysis of foreign direct investment, the author maintains that additional research is required. The complex macro- and micro-economic impacts require more precise theoretical and empirical study....Sarafin concludes that economists and other social scientists must close the gaps in understanding foreign direct investment.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multinational enterprises have become one of the distinctive institutions of our times. Controversy over their economic and political effects, and over appropriate public policy responses, has become common in home and host countries and in international agencies. Much of this debate is reminiscent of the role of large corporations generally, particularly in their interregional and intergroup effects. The multinational setting, however, would have raised distinctive issues even apart from the strong surges of nationalism and anti-imperialism which have marked recent history. Canada has a long and unusual experience with such enterprises. Foreign control of capital in the nonfinancial industries (manufacturing, petroleum and gas, other mining and smelting, utilities, merchandising) was already 20 percent in 1930 and 25 percent in 1948. It rose to 36 percent by the late 1960s, but has since receded to about 30 percent. In 1975, fully 55 percent of the capital in manufacturing was controlled outside Canada, as was 72 per cent of that in petroleum and gas, and 58 percent in other mining. These figures exceed those of other developed countries, although there have been striking increases in recent decades. About 80 percent of the direct invest ment capital in Canada is from the United States. Recently, Canadians have xi xii FOREWORD become aware of a surge of Canadian direct investment abroad, which on a flow basis has exceeded inflows (exclusive of retained earnings) for most of the 1970s.

Download or read book Foreign Multinational Enterprises and Merger Activity in Canada written by Canada. Statistics Canada. Analytical Studies Branch and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Canada has had some form of agency to review foreign investment activity and, in particular, the merger activity of foreign firms since the mid-1970s, there has been little analysis of the importance of such mergers. This paper attempts to rectify this gap. It commences by examining its importance by placing the intensity of mergers in context of other turnover activity such as entry and exit and comparing it to activity in the domestic sector. It then examines the extent to which mergers are associated with productivity and wage rate changes. Finally, it asks whether differences between domestic and foreign firms are associated with the environment in which the two groups function or with intrinsic differences between the two types of firms that are not explained by the characteristics of the industries in which they are located.

Book excerpt: The paper's main objective is to provide a concise synthesis of a wide array of data and research on multinationals originating in Statistics Canada, focusing on both historical and current studies. Chapter 2 discusses the macroeconomic contribution of foreign multinationals, focusing on two leading indicators of foreign multinational activity, foreign control and foreign direct investment. This chapter also describes studies that evaluate the contribution that foreign-controlled companies make to aggregate trade flows, linking changes in multinational trade intensity to the strategic reorganization of their production activities. Chapter 3 concentrates on the strategies and activities of foreign multinationals that are relevant to ongoing debates over whether the presence of foreign multinationals promotes, or hampers, Canada's industrial competitiveness. This chapter first examines evidence that domestic and foreign firms respond differently to domestic market conditions. Second, it asks whether foreign firms compete in different ways than domestic firms do. Third, it examines the relative emphasis that foreign multinationals place on innovation and technology practices, and reports on the relationship between these activities and observable market outcomes. Fourth, it reports on the contribution that foreign-controlled firms make to productivity growth. Fifth, it discusses new research that focuses on the relationship between foreign ownership and head-office employment. Studies in these areas speak directly to the issue of whether foreign multinationals truncate or develop their corporate activities in host markets. Chapter 4 focuses on studies that examine the foreign activities of Canadian-owned multinationals and how their domestic plants compare to foreign-controlled plants operating in Canada. Chapter 5 offers an appraisal of Statistics Canada's research on multinationals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Controls of Foreign Business Entry: Present Form and Future Prospects In contrast to the stringent limitations placed on goods entering into Canada, entry into business activity had always been, until recently, free of restrictions - a fact which set Canada apart from most major industrial economies. Die openness of the Canadian economy to foreign investment, whether direct or portfolio, was the result of a long-lasting governmental policy which opposed free-trade as having detrimental effects on the infant Canadian industry. In contrast, the inflow of capital and labor was considered beneficial for the economic development of the country and thus was allowed unconditional entry. This open Canadian attitude, particularly towards foreign direct investment, began to undergo radical changes in the late sixties; following several studies which warned against the reliance on foreign direct capital as a main component in the country's development strategy, the government's stand hardened to the point of preventing several takeovers of domestic businesses by foreign investors.3 In addition, more and more popular resentment against alien interests started to appear in the early seventies. It all culminated in the Foreign Investment Review Act. passed by Parliament on December 12, 1973. The 1973 law is in substantial contrast with the non-intervention policy that prevailed until then.
