Abstract: In this article, a method for comparing various locations for a foreign investment is presented. The method requires several assumptions regarding the characteristics of a preferred location, and the variables that can be used to measure these characteristics. Multidimensional scaling is used to map the locations in such a way that proximity indicates similarity with regard to the preferred characteristics. The technique is applied to twenty Central American, South American, and Caribbean countries.
