The uneven geographical distribution of economic activities is a huge challenge worldwide and also for the European Union. In Krugman’s New Economic Geography economic systems have a simple spatial structure. This book shows that more sophisticated models should visualise the EU as an evolving trade network with a specific topology and different aggregation levels. At the highest level, economic geography models give a bird eye’s view of spatial dynamics. At a medium level, institutions shape the economy and the structure of (financial and labour) markets. At the lowest level, individual decisions interact with the economic, social and institutional environment; the focus is on firms’ decision on location and innovation. Such multilevel models exhibit complex dynamic patterns – path dependence, cumulative causation, hysteresis – on a network structure; and specific analytic tools are necessary for studying strategic interaction, heterogeneity and nonlinearities.

A groundbreaking contribution to the literature of foreign investment, this volume is based on an extensive field study conducted under the auspices of the Tayloe Murphy International Business Studies Center at the University of Virginia. Through in-depth personal interviews with the executives of 20 companies, the author examines the investment strategies and plant-location decisions of foreign corporations in the United States. In addition to identifying the market, cost, and other strategies that influenced the U.S. plant-investment decisions, the author analyzes managerial aspects of the plant-location decision-making process, describes specific location factors considered important by the executives interviewed, and points out salient recent trends in foreign direct investment in the United States. Divided into five parts, the volume begins by defining the objectives of the study and its research methodology. Part 2 examines management strategies, exploring the factors that influenced the investment decisions of the 20 companies in the study and delineating the operational strategies that guided manufacturing operations subsequent to plant start-ups. In Part 3, the author covers the plant location decision-making process, while Part 4 provides a company profile for each of the 20 foreign affiliates under study. The final section summarizes the research findings and presents the author's conclusions. In addition to comparing the present findings with previous work, the author also addresses the implications of his results for business executives, economic development professionals, and government policy makers.

First published in 1999, this volume recognised how widespread attention has been given to charting how the global rise in investment flows has caused numerous changes in the operation of economies – such as the globalisation of production and increasing international economic interdependency. Less research has been made on the role of government policy in promoting FDI. This book, based on a report for the OECD Development Centre, examines the rising competition between European governments to attract mobile investment projects and its impact on the use of different policy areas to influence FDI decisions.
