Description

There is a large body of empirical research describing the geographic patterns of, and the underlying reasons for, foreign direct investment (FDI). Generally, this research has been conducted at an aggregate level both spatially and sectorally. However, it is certain that more disaggregated approaches can yield important insights. This is particularly true for developed economies where regional differences influence investment decisions. General macro level knowledge can be assumed but regional-based knowledge will be less certain (Qu and Green 1997; Mariotti and Piscitello 1995). In this paper, we provide a detailed spatial assessment of US foreign direct investment in Canada disaggregated by industrial sector, province and state. Moreover, we explore the importance of established economic conditions (as measured by trade flows, number of establishments and distance) on the spatial choices made by US foreign direct investors operating within the highly-integrated and compatible Canadian and US economies. Due to this explicit home and host location viewpoint in explaining spatial-sectoral direct investments patterns, we believe this itemised spatial appraisal of Canada FDI from the US is distinctive.
