Book Outward Foreign Direct Investment and US Exports  Jobs  and R D

Download or read book Outward Foreign Direct Investment and US Exports Jobs and R D written by Gary Clyde Hufbauer and published by Peterson Institute for International Economics. This book was released on 2013-09-19 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not in the US interest to adopt tax and regulatory policies that would discourage global engagement by US multinational corporations (MNCs). Research presented in this book shows that the expansion of foreign affiliates of US MNCs is positively associated with more production, greater employment, higher exports, and more research and development (R&D) in the United States. These findings suggest that less investment abroad by US firms would weaken—not strengthen—the US economy. This analysis by no means implies that there are only winners and no losers from outward investment. Changing patterns of MNC investment, like changing patterns of technology and production more generally, contribute to job losses and dislocations for some workers and to new opportunities for others. To benefit the US economy and US workers most broadly, the United States will want to search for ways to strengthen the appeal of the United States as a base for the operations of international firms. High among the recommendations to accomplish this, the United States should adopt a territorial tax system, like the great majority of developed countries.

Book Outward FDI and Parent Exports and Employment

Download or read book Outward FDI and Parent Exports and Employment written by Robert E. Lipsey and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within Japanese multinational firms, parent exports from Japan to a foreign region are positively related to production in that region by affiliates of that parent, given the parent's home production in Japan and the region's size and income level. This relationship is similar to that found for Swedish and U.S. multinationals in parallel studies. A Japanese parent's worldwide exports tend to be larger, relative to its output, the larger the firm's overseas production. In this respect also, Japanese firms resembled U.S. multinationals. A Japanese parent's employment, given the level of its production, tends to be higher, the greater the production abroad by the firm's foreign affiliates. Japanese firms' behavior in this respect is similar to that of Swedish firms, but contrasts with that of U.S. firms. U.S. firms appear to reduce employment at home, relative to production, by allocating labor-intensive parts of their production to affiliates in developing countries. Swedish firms seem to allocate the more capital-intensive parts of their production to their foreign affiliates, mostly in high-wage countries. We conclude that in Japanese firms and ancillary employment at home to service foreign operations outweighs any allocation of labor-intensive production to developing countries.

Book Foreign Direct Investment

Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment written by Bijit Bora and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-06 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign Direct Investment examines the different approaches to explaining the growth and distribution of FDI in the world. Pulling together contributions from an array of international experts, this study combines theoretical with empirical work on issues such as computable general equilibrium modelling, trade, intellectual property, environment, labour, services and development. By analysing different aspects of the growth and impact of FDI this book is able to balance areas where research is well advanced with areas, such as the role of FDI in development, where many questions remain. This insightful and important text will be useful to students of development economics as well as policy makers and researchers.

Book Outward FDI  Capital Flows  and Economic Growth

Download or read book Outward FDI Capital Flows and Economic Growth written by Chia-Ying Chang and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the impacts of outward FDI on the home country's growth rate via the employment channel. In the overlapping generations framework, this paper shows that the impacts of FDI on the home country's growth are different in the short run and in the long run. Moreover, the relative technology level and the economic conditions of the host country are crucial in determining outward FDI and the home country's growth. The policies which would improve the home country's technology and direct FDI to the host countries with certain economic conditions would promote growth without restricting FDI. The paper suggests that by including the measurements to distinguish between the short-run and the long-run effects and identifying the host countries and their economic conditions, some existing inconsistent empirical results on the effects of outward FDI may be explained.

Book Foreign Direct Investment in the United States  Benefits  Suspicions  and Risks with Special Attention to FDI from China

Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment in the United States Benefits Suspicions and Risks with Special Attention to FDI from China written by Theodore H. Moran and published by Peterson Institute for International Economics. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have long been ambivalent toward foreign direct investment in the United States. Foreign multinational corporations may be a source of capital, technology, and jobs. But what are the implications for US workers, firms, communities, and consumers as the United States remains the most popular destination for foreign multinational investment? Theodore H. Moran and Lindsay Oldenski find that foreign multinational firms that invest in the United States are, alongside US-headquartered American multinationals, the most productive and highest-paying segment of the US economy. These firms conduct more research and development, provide more value added to US domestic inputs, and export more goods and services than other firms in the US economy. The superior technology and management techniques they employ spill over horizontally and vertically to improve the performance of local firms and workers. As the United States wants not only to expand employment but also create well-paying jobs that reverse the falling earnings that many US workers and middle class families have suffered in recent decades, it is more important than ever to enhance the United States as a destination for multinational investors
