8 Apr 2004

Western Centre for Economic Research University of Alberta Information Bulletin #77/April 2004 Page 1 Introduction The objective of this report is to describe the locations of Canadian firms in the U. S. and to compare the characteristics of the Canadian Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the U. S. to FDI in the U. S. by other industrialized countries.

S. Based on this new data base and the historical data base, this paper provides detailed information about Canadian FDI in the U. S. and the changes over the 1987-97 period. [...] Comparisons of Canadian FDI in the U. S. with that from Germany, the U. K., and Japan, i.e., other industrialized countries with the largest number of FDI establishments in the U. S., are therefore possible. [...] The mining sector also experienced the largest decline in the rate of growth of employees and payroll, and the smallest, yet still positive, rate of growth in shipments/sales value.
