Abstract

This article examines competitive bidding among development agencies. Some commentators argue that English regions are at a disadvantage compared with Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The authors look at the evidence on the attraction of FDI to the regions of the UK and discuss some of the arguments about unfair advantage. The impact of the Regional Development Agencies on FDI and the need for a concordat are also discussed.
