Paper details:
• Refer to Ammer et al (2012)
• Read page 1110 and 1114 (Table 1)
1. At the end of 2007, what was the amount of U.S. international equity investments? This would be a good final question.
2. From what year is the data in table 1?
3. Create a table showing the three countries with the highest number of U.S. listings from table 1.
Go to the SEC website of International Registered and Reporting Companies. Go to the “Summary Information” link (see below).
4. Which five countries rank highest in U.S. registrations currently?
5. Go to the “Geographic Listing” link. Create a table showing the five countries that ranked highest in the previous question (4), the number of registrants for each country, and the types of industries listed from each country.
6. Comment on what you found. I certainly think the findings are interesting.
