12. Direct Investment by Company
Since ultimately we are concerned about the firms that
engage in FDI, let us turn finally to a view of the companies
most heavily involved in this activity. Studies carried out
during the past two decades have regularly found that the
most important direct investors are large, technology-
intensive firms from the main industrial countries.

15. Who Invests The Most in the US ?
Knowing, then, that foreign investment in the United States is normal, what
countries today invest the most in the United States, and how much?
Inflow FDI reached what the U.S. Department of Commerce calls a "historical
peak" in 2008 with total foreign investments of $328 billion. Investments in 2000
nearly reached that point, but fell to a low of $64 billion in 2003. (Think of how
policies effect investment potential: in 2003 the U.S. had endured 9/11, was in a
war in Afghanistan, and was just starting one in Iraq.)
Investments rebounded to the 2008 level, but fell after the Great Recession began
late that year. Inflow FDI in 2009 was about $140 billion; in 2010 it was back up to
$194 billion, and inflow in about $228 billion in 2011.
16. Major Foreign Investors in the US
Current Trends
• The top investors in the U.S. in 2010 were Switzerland, about $37
billion; United Kingdom, about $33 billion; Japan, about $22 billion;
France, $21 billion; Germany, $20 billion; Luxembourg, $12 billion; the
Netherlands, $12 billion; and Canada, about $9 billion. Those countries
accounted for 84% of total inflow FDI in 2010.
• In fact, those countries traditionally make up the "Top Eight" foreign
investors in the U.S. Over the past two decades, they have continually
made up 80% to 84% of total inflow FDI.
17. Where Does The U.S. Invest?
• Outflow FDI -- U.S. overseas investments -- totaled
nearly $330 billion in 2010. The Netherlands, United
Kingdom, Canada, Luxembourg, Bermuda, and Ireland
received just over 50% of that investment.

26. Dunning’s Eclectic View
• The eclectic paradigm is a theory in economics and is also
known as the OLI-Model or OLI-Framework. It is a further
development of the internalization theory and published
by John H. Dunning in 1980.
• Internalization theory itself is based on the transaction cost
theory. This theory says that transactions are made within
an institution if the transaction costs on the free market are
higher than the internal costs. This process is
called internalization.
