Most explanations of this phenomenon focus on the impact of the macroeconomic environment on the choices facing individual firms over whether or not to engage in FDI. We focus instead on the characteristics of demand for the products produced in sectors known to be conducive to FDI. These characteristics are shown to help explain the recent growth in the FDI-to-GDP ratio.

Since such contractions typically occur because adjustment has been delayed due to fear of aggravating unemployment, the authors examine the hypothesis in a model with wage/price rigidities. The New Classical features of the model, however, allow expectational effects to be taken fully into account. While consumption and investment may rise, the authors find that employment is in all cases likely to fall; this leads them to believe that the so-called 'German view' is overoptimistic.
