Description
Summary:The geography of the multinational firms is contextualized by the localization of its internatio - nal production and commercial activities. The Spanish direct investment abroad shows a triple concentration ratios: geographical, temporal and industrial. At the same time from the country of origin point of view the Spanish direct investment abroad comes fundamentally from three regions: Madrid, Catalonia and the Vasque Country.
