摘要: Abstract A hybrid model of direct investment is developed from an asset portfolio and industrial organization investment. Encompassing tests using disaggregated data validate the model, while its two component models are rejected by at least some data. The exchange rate found to be important explanatory variable for in but not all US industries. Equity purchase more likely R&D intensive industries, privately held companies, highly concentrated Plant equipment industries with increasing returns scale, experiencing large net export deficits Japan.
