Book excerpt: The first section of this report identifies and discusses the range of policies that governments can implement to directly or indirectly influence inward foreign direct investment (FDI), as well as the behaviour of multinational companies in the host market. The following section sets out public policy criteria against which to evaluate the consequences of Canadian government policies toward inward FDI. The next section reviews the determinants of inward FDI, drawing upon the existing economic and international business literature. The subsequent two sections contain a broad overview of inward FDI patterns to Canada over the post-war period, with preliminary inferences about the influence of public policies on inward FDI flows, and discuss significant policy initiatives directed at influencing either the quantity of quality of inward FDI. These include the Foreign Investment Review Act, the Investment Canada Act, and the North American Free Trade Agreement. This is followed by a section that identifies Canadian government policies directed at restricting inward FDI at the sectoral level (financial services, oil and gas, communications). Welfare economics arguments for and against sectoral foreign ownership restrictions are considered. Original economic models of FDI for Canada are then discussed and case studies are presented of the consequences of foreign ownership and the impacts of foreign ownership policies on the three sectors mentioned above. The final section concludes the report with a summary and a set of policy recommendations.

Book excerpt: The first chapter of this document looks briefly at some of the factors underlying recent patterns of foreign investment. The next chapter of the paper discusses Industry Canada (IC) research that pertains to the role of foreign direct investment and the factors underlying recent investment trends. Chapter 3 considers the policy implications of the IC research in the context of Canada's role as both a significant host and an important source of foreign investment. In addition to examining the need for government intervention in foreign investment markets, this section considers the implications of the studies' findings for general government policy. Chapter 4 looks at foreign investment policy in an international context. The IC studies that examine foreign investment barriers and that have something to say about how to improve the international environment for foreign investment are discussed in this section. The paper's conclusions are presented in chapter 5.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to examine the changing trends in Canada's inward and outward foreign direct investment (FDI) over the past several decades and to propose how public policies should be changed to ensure that Canada draws maximum benefits from foreign investment flows. The first section of this study provides definitions of FDI, distinguishes between portfolio and direct investment and highlights the importance of mergers and acquisitions as a type of FDI. The next section briefly considers the upsides and downsides of FDI, revisits the hollowing-out debate in Canada and discusses optimal policies. The study then reviews the trends in Canada's inward and outward FDI over the past several decades. The final section presents two empirical models of FDI and estimates the importance of key factors underlying Canada's changing FDI patterns. The study concludes with a discussion of the policy implications.--Document.
