Multinationals from large and small countries: a Philippine case study

SUMMARY

Regarding foreign direct investment, relatively little attention has been given to differences in the behaviour of multinational corporations according to the geographical and economic size of the investor’s home country. How might the behaviour of two sets of multinational corporations, one from relatively well-endowed economies with a large geographic areas and another from smaller economies, differ? The work compares the results of two surveys of foreign investors in Philippine manufacturing industry which provide basis for examining this question.JEL: F21, F23
