Extract

This paper has two purposes. First, we model a key decision for international banks using data on the foreign direct investment (FDI) behavior of foreign banks in Japan and California. Second, we examine the utility of linear discriminant analysis and maximum likelihood logit analysis as statistical techniques for relating a qualitative dependent variable to a vector of independent variables.
