USA: returning from China?

Abstract

Nowadays, countries are fighting more than ever for international investments, and they have to provide interesting conditions for companies. Many international companies recognized China as very competitive place to install their factories. Often companies are now considering that the reduced costs (principally wages) in China are not anymore so attractive as before. These companies are returning back from China, finding domestically low wage costs making many investments interesting in their countries. An analysis of this new international scenario is made in this paper as much as a perspective for the future and the implications resulting from companies’ investment movements.
