Project Objectives:
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has become an increasingly important factor in the global economy, but much less research has been undertaken on the causes, consequences, and policy implications of FDI than on international trade. This network will redress the balance through a programme of research and training, bringing together eight leading institutions from seven EU countries.
It will extend the analysis of multinational corporations (MNCs), examine the economic impact of MNCs and FDI on the home and the host countries, and explore both national and international policy implications. The starting point is research on the determinants of multinational activity at the level of the firm, and on the relationship between foreign trade and multinational activity. On the basis of this the network will explore the implications of FDI for both the home and the host economy, and analyse policy towards FDI. The research will employ theoretical techniques, econometric analysis and case study methods.
