Abstract: Abstract A characteristic feature in the Nordic countries during the 1980s was the rapid internationalization of manufacturing production as manifested in unprecedented levels of outward foreign direct investment (FDI). Although this trend embraced most industrialized countries in that period, the negligible inflows of FDI distinguish the Nordic countries from the pattern observed in most other countries. These imbalances have raised concern about the effects on industrial structure and growth in the Nordic countries.
