This paper tests for certain benefits of foreign direct investment in the manufacturing sectors of two leading host countries-Canada and Australia. A quest for evidence on the effects of the multinational corporation needs little defence at a time when host and source countries alike incline towards restricting its activities. Economic theory tells us that intramarginal2 gains from foreign investment take diverse forms. An evident and tangible gain to the host government stems from the corporate income tax collected from subsidiaries (net of the incremental cost of public services supplied to them). Other benefits, conjectural and elusive but possibly large, lie in the effects of direct investment on the value productivity of resources owned by the host economy (Macdougall, 1960; Corden, 1967; Caves, 1971). The host nation's private sector does not benefit directly because the foreign subsidiary is efficient, or brings to its shores skilled entrepreneurship or productive knowledge. Rather its gains depend on spill-overs of productivity that occur when the multinational corporation cannot capture all quasi-rents due to its productive activities, or to the removal of distortions by the subsidiary's competitive pressure. These potential benefits can be divided into three classes
Business · Competition (biology) · Economics · Host (biology) · Industrial organization · International economics · International trade · Macroeconomics · Multinational corporation · Productivity · Finance · Global Trade and Competitiveness · Global trade and economics · International Business and FDI
