QUESTION: US FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT (fwd)

[xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Wendy, I forgot to mention. You can also check out the recent book edited
by Edna Bonacich. This book is a collection of articles providing some
recent data about the employment figures, wages, and foreign direct
investment shares in export manufacturing, Apparel Maquiladora Industry.
Especially check out the articles on Mexico (by Carillo, Hanson,
Chinchilla and Hamilton). The authors look at the changing role of the
garment industry in the restructuring of global economy from a critical
perspective.

The title of the book is: _Global Production: The Apparel Industry in the
Pacific Rim_ Edited by Edna Bonacich, Lucie Cheng, Norma Chinchilla, Nora
Hamilton and Paul Ong. Temple University Press, 1994.

I don't know which literature you tend to focus on, but you can review
the following sources. I am sure you can find enough information that
relates to your topic. They are written from a moderate mainstream
perspective.

Economy of Foreign Direct Investment_, New York, Basic Books, 1975.

>Sorry, I have a question that maybe some of you can answer quickier than
>me.

>Where can I found the Foreign Direct Investment of US in a cross section
by
country (Mexico) and by industry. and also the exports in the same cross
section that investment.

I just count with "US DIRECT INVESTMENT ABROAD", but Foreign Direct
Investment is not specified for Mexico.

Well, thankyou very much. And I hope I won't disturb your postkeynesian
dialog any more.
