A multi-criteria decision-making model for evaluating priorities for foreign direct investment
The objective of this study is to evaluate the relative priority of nine developed countries as a home country for foreign direct investment (FDI) from the vantage point of the United States during three time periods: pre-crisis (2004-2006), crisis (2007-2009), and post-crisis (2010-2012).
