Canada's multinationals : their characteristics and determinants / by Paul K. Gorecki.: CS11-0019/52E-PDF

"This paper examines the characteristics and determinants of Canada's nearly 1,000 multinationals (MNE) for 1986. A neccessary step was the careful lining of files on the MNE's Canadian and foreign operations. Many of the findings of previous work on outward investment, particularly for the US, are found. For example, there is a positive association between the probability of being an MNE and firm size as well as industry concentration. However, the paper also explores the influence of some of the characteristics of the Canadian economy - the importance of foreign ownership - that are likely to be important in determing whether of not a firm is an MNE."--Abstract.
