Abstract
This research note addresses the argument about whether political activity by local affiliates of foreign-owned firms follows home country practices or adapts to host country practices. It analyzes the campaign contributions. PAC allocation strategies, and lobbying activities of 119 U.S. affiliates of foreign firms during the 1987-88 election cycle and finds them consistent with the view that foreign affiliates adapt to the host country's political economy.Keywords
