Foreign direct investment and rural location in the United States

This paper examines the extent to which multinational firms operating in the United States, through their locational investments, prefer more rural states over more urban states. Using state-level data for 2000 and using OLS, it was determined that such firms do prefer more rural states. However, labour costs and labour productivity appear to be more important determinants to location than ruralness.
