本卷是研究所对外国直接投资与发展之间关系的调查的结果。今天，超过三分之一的世界贸易是以公司内部交易的形式进行的，也就是说，在跨越国界的同一公司网络的各个部分之间进行的贸易，而且大部分技术是在综合国际生产系统的范围内转让的。这意味着外国直接投资和跨国公司的业务已成为整个世界经济的中心。这对发展中国家来说尤为重要。但正如西奥多•莫兰（Theodore Moran）在这本新书中所言，外国直接投资并非单一现象。外国直接投资对采掘业、基础设施、制造业和装配业以及服务业的影响各不相同，并提出了不同的政策挑战，因此必须对每一大类外国直接投资进行单独对待。事实上，过去的研究将所有外国直接投资流量汇总在一起，试图找到与东道国增长或福利的某种独特关系，结果得出了不可靠的实质性结论，有时还得出了错误的政策结论。莫兰考察了外国直接投资的每一种主要形式，从以前的分析中提取出最好的部分，并就如何提高每个部门的外国直接投资收益、限制或消除潜在损害提供了新的发现和观点。
This volume is the culmination of Institute investigations on the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and development. Today, more than one-third of world trade takes place in the form of intrafirm transactions--that is, trade among the various parts of the same corporate network spread across borders--and the bulk of technology is transferred within the confines of integrated international production systems. This means that FDI and the operations of multinational corporations have become central to the world economy at large. Nowhere is this more important than for developing countries. But as Theodore Moran argues in this new volume, FDI is not a single phenomenon. FDI has such different impacts in the extractive sector, infrastructure, manufacturing and assembly, and services--and presents such distinctive policy challenges--that each broad category of FDI must be treated on its own terms. Indeed, past studies that have aggregated all FDI flows together to try to find some unique relationship to host-country growth or welfare have led to unreliable substantive findings and, sometimes, mistaken policy conclusions. Moran examines each of the principal forms of FDI, extracts the best from previous analysis, and offers new findings and perspectives about how benefits from FDI in each sector can be enhanced and potential damages limited or eliminated.
