Foreign friends

Article Abstract:

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has carried out a survey of international business enterprises, which are becoming increasingly important in the world economy. They are especially important in Ireland, the US and Britain, though much less so in Japan. Their pay tends to be better than average and their job creation rates are faster than those of local companies, while they also invest in research. They tend to export much of production. These four factors means that they can be of particular benefit in poorer countries in the OECD.
