Abstract

THE AUTHORS SURVEY THE RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT (FDI) IMPOSED BY THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER MAJOR COUNTRIES. THEY CONCLUDE THAT THE UNITED STATES IS ONE OF THE MOST--IF NOT THE MOST--HOSPITABLE COUNTRY TO FDI. HOWEVER, RECENT CHANGES HAVE REDUCED THE DISTANCE BETWEEN U.S. OPENNESS AND THAT OF OTHER COUNTRIES MAINLY BY MAKING THE U.S. CLIMATE FOR FOREIGN INVESTMENT LESS WELCOMING.
