Abstract
The primary aim of our research project, to quantify the balance-of-payments effects of particular foreign investments, may not at first sight appear to raise any great theoretical difficulties. The immediate balance-of-payments effects of an investment, given by the direct impact of its operations on the host country’s foreign exchanges, have all been discussed already, and have been shown to raise a number of problems regarding oligopolistic practices, regulation and bargaining — all issues of great practical importance, but not particularly complex or baffling from the viewpoint of economic theory.
