Now-standard models of foreign direct investment need modification to explain the nature and location of cross-border investment flows into the U.S. These flows may be important for certain regional economies of the U.S. The market imperf ections model of foreign direct investment (FiJI) and evolving theories of enterprise internationalization are used to generate hypotheses concerning the sector, activity, and size mix of trans-border direct investment. From an investigation of Canadianowned companies identified in western New York, support is found for a model of internationalization and for a limited role of FD1I attraction in regional planning programs. Foreign direct investment (FDI), the foreign ownership' and control of an economic venture, has several important implications for the host country or region. It can provide financial capital, management expertise, and technological capability that might not be made available through international contract
