...firm operating in more than one country will not deliberately choose unnecessarily costly locations to build its products. To do so would mean losing profits that could be made by manufacturing products at more efficient locations. In the intensely competitive worldwide market in which GM operates, such a patently inefficient procedure would probably make it impossible for GM to make any overseas sales at all. As you recognize, moreover, multinationals "benefit the U.S. because much of their profit is returned home in the form of retained earnings." In 1977 GM's total international transactions resulted in a net inflow...
