| Abstract: | This study undertook a multivariate regression analysis of Japanese foreign direct investment in the US (FDIUS), based on firm- and industry-specific data. Firm size was a positive and significant explanatory variable of firms' completed transactions as well as their additions to investment value. Firms' overall profit was a positive and significant indicator of firms' addition to investment value, but not their completed transactions. Firms' return on assets was generally a positive, albeit insignificant indicator of FDIUS. |
