Abstract

International (foreign) direct investment can be broadly defined as the long-term (inward) capital flows used for exercising control of a business activity in a country other than that from which the investment activity originates.1 These international flows of capital are obviously very closely linked to the emergence and development of multinational firms. And, in a way, they are the product of the supranational geographical diversification of firms, either through the creation of new subsidiaries or through holdings in other already existing companies in the host country.
