MAJOR MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS IN THE US GLOBAL CITIES: CORE-PERIPHERY LOKATION DISPARITIES
Abstract
Under current conditions traditional methods of evaluating the global city status need to be updated by gauging city’s attractiveness for foreign multinational corporations. Why corporations locate in the leading metropolitan areas of the US is in large part dictated by city’s economic power and its ability to draw specialized business services. The paper brings to light key disparities in how foreign multinationals locate in us metro area’s core and periphery, i.e. industry-specific and geography-specific tendencies, as well as the differences in the total mass of transnational capital located in two zones. The results of the analysis allow putting the end to a longstanding debate on the core’s primary status over the periphery as it relates to the location of foreign multinational corporations.
