A policy for foreign direct investment

Mark Casson

Chapter 5 in Alternatives to the Multinational Enterprise, 1979, pp 83-93 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is concerned with appraising the costs and benefits of FDI. Unlike previous studies1 it does not focus on the role of capital flows, which we have argued are an incidental part of FDI. Instead it considers FDI as a consequence of the internalisation of markets for proprietary information and other intermediate products. The costs and benefits we consider are those of an internal market, in comparison to an external market.
