The unprecedented growth of capital flows over the last decennia and the
substantial share of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in world production, trade
and investments make it relevant to dedicate a course to the behaviour and
consequences of multinational enterprises. This course aims at analysing
problems of trade policy, of competition and of global financial markets. The
field is alive with great practical problems. Why multinationals? How important
is international production, and what are the channels through which it affects
the real economy? What are the tools for competition among governments to
attract capital from the limited pool of international investments? How
important is transfer pricing and what is the role of taxation and exchange
rates in this regard? What are the characteristics of footloose companies? Is
increasing global financial integration affecting the nature and international
propagation of MNEs? How do firms use capital investments to gain strategic
advantages? What is the use of foreign exchange and option markets? These are
issues that interest policymakers, business people, researchers and students
alike. It is no wonder that these issues command the attention of the world
press.
