β¦ Synopsis
Multinational Enterprise and Economic Analysis surveys the contributions that economic analysis has made to our understanding of why multinational enterprises exist and what consequences they have for the workings of the national and international economies. Covering both theories and tests of hypotheses, and synthesizing material from social science and applied disciplines, Professor Caves develops the logic behind public policies that affects multinational enterprises. The book has been completely updated to cover contributions appearing through mid-1994 and remains the only survey volume to draw equally on analytical contributions of both economics and business administration bearing on the multinational firm.
