“…This MS behaviour has been challenged by freer trade and the various multilateral agreements of EU with other countries. Wallis (1968), D'Arge (1969), Scaperlanda and Mauer (1969), Schmitz (1970), Goldberg (1972), and Schmitz and Bieri (1972) further enriched the original question of reallocation of US FDI (Scaperlanda, 1967) by investigating which factors eventually determine FDI in Europe. Among the variables tested were tariff discrimination, market size, and growth rates.…”

In this article we investigate the determinants of US outward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the European Union for the period 1982-2002. The data set allowed us to discern differences in the pattern of US FDI between EU core and EU periphery countries, as well as over different time periods during the last two decades. The results indicate that the US FDI pattern varies among different groups of countries and that there was a restructuring in multinational firms' investment activity after the implementation of the single market plan. Agglomeration factors, market size, qualified and productive labour and cost efficiency of local production seem to dominate in the location choice of US investors. Copyright (c) 2008 The Author(s).

“…Empirically there has been a quite substantial number of studies, since the early 1950s, which has been focusing in the analysis of mainly US outward FDI in different recipient countries. In this line of work emphasis is placed to the EU and Canada, as key host regions of US investors 1 (Scaperlanda, 1967;Scaperlanda and Mauer, 1969;Caves, 1974).…”

In this paper we analyse the location determinants of US FDI in the Pacific region of the OECD, i.e. Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Korea, for 1982Korea, for -1997. The data set allowed us to distinguish between two time periods i.e. the 1980s and the 1990s, and two different sub-groups, i.e. Australia and New Zealand, and Japan and Korea. Statistical evidence indicates a heterogeneous response of US FDI towards different countries and for different time periods. Factors such as market size, income level and qualified and productive labour exert a significant impact on both the timing and the locational choice of US investors in the region.

“…The writings of Bandera and White (1968), d'Arge (1970), Scaperlanda (1967), Wallis (1968), Scaperlanda and Mauer (1969) and Krause (1968) are typical examples. Most of these, using either time series or cross sectional data, relate either absolute value of U.S. investment (or capital stake) to profit rates, size of markets, growth of markets, tariff rates and some kind of trend and/or slope shifting variable ; the Bandera and White study included an international liquidity variable.…”
