COMPARING DUTCH AND U.S. ATTITUDES TOWARD FOREIGN INVESTMENTS

This paper reports the results of a cross‐national study designed to determine the attitudes that exist in the minds of American and Dutch citizens when they consider the possibility of investments being made in their country from a selected group of nations. The findings show U.S. respondents have a more positive attitude toward domestic and foreign investments than do the Dutch. Overall, however, there were few significant differences between American and Dutch attitudes toward foreign investment.
