What are the costs and benefits of the incentives used to attract new foreign investment? How can governments maximize the positive impact of available capital? Rethinking Investment Incentives addresses these and other important questions in national foreign direct investment policy. This volume will be of great value to anyone seeking to explore the complicated set of issues surrounding contemporary investment incentives. -- Karl Sauvant, Columbia University In today's world, increasingly mobile multinational enterprises (MNEs) and immobile locations are locked in a co-evolutionary embrace. They need each other in the manner of bees and flowers. The benefits to locations from MNE knowledge spillovers create powerful arguments for government investment incentives. Hence I welcome this volume, edited as it is by four experts who collectively have many decades of relevant experience. They have assembled an enviable team of specialists who examine investment incentives from all the important perspectives - theory, practice and policy. I highly recommend this volume to scholars as well as policymakers. -- Ram Mudambi, Temple University
