Explaining the International Direct Investment Position of Countries: Towards a Dynamic or Developmental Approach
Abstract
This chapter explores the proposition that a country’s international direct investment position, and changes in that position, may be usefully explained by the eclectic theory of international production. Using data on the direct investment flows (or changes in the direct capital stock) of some 67 countries, over the period 1967–78, it also suggests that there is a systematic relationship between the determinants of those flows and the stage and structure of a country’s economic development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
