Extract

The work presented by Robert Owen and Pascal Auburtin represents a welcome contribution to the empirical research on the determinants of foreign direct investment. Very few studies have looked at the pattern of foreign direct investment in continental European countries, or have dealt with foreign investments other than by U.S. corporations. By concentrating their research on France the authors have filled some of this gap.
