FDI – Foreign Direct Investment (p. 345) • Flow definition: Flow of funding provided by investors (usually firms) to establish or acquire foreign companies or to expand or finance existing foreign companies that the investors own. • Key is sufficient ownership to control or influence the management of the foreign company. • Stock definition: Total value of existing funding (equity and debt) of foreign companies that has been provided by investors that own these foreign companies.

  5. Why do MNEs Exist? (pp. 349-50) • First, acknowledge that there are inherent disadvantages of operating a foreign affiliate competing against local firms. • Firm-specific advantages of the MNE, especially intangible assets. (a.k.a. organizational advantages). • Location factors based on resource costs and availability, customer demand, government policies, and other considerations. • Internalization advantages in using these assets. • Oligopolistic rivalry that uses FDI in the firms’ strategies for competing. Sometimes referred to as international industrial organization Major proponent of this perspective is John Dunning – ‘eclectic theory.’ and the OLI theory.

  6. Implications of the Dunning/OLI Model Foreign direct investment is often a ‘good thing’ – although we must remember that it will have effects on income distribution, as well as on output and employment. There are several important examples when FDI does not increase national welfare, such as when it is attracted by tariffs or subsidies, or political power. FDI will probably be associated with higher profits, import and/or export propensities, higher wages, more capital intensity. One should view FDI as part of a dynamic world (product cycle) FDI will vary by productive sector OECD countries have lots of both IFDI and OFDI For many countries, FI and FDI have greatly different values.
