“…Moreover, Stone and Peck (1996) argue that the use of employment data in this type of study can lead to a range of problems, including potential difficulties in isolating data relating to expected jobs created and determined by TNCs undertaking FDI; differentiating between jobs created and jobs safeguarded can also be problematic, as can estimating any jobs lost or displaced as a result of any given foreign investment (Stone and Peck, 1996). Weak correlation between jobs created and investment levels (Jones and Wren, 2004) can be another problem associated with employment data.…”

Others (Stone and Peck, 1996;Mackay, 2003) however maintain that relatively prosperous core regions such as the South East are likely to retain their competitive advantage over the periphery in the attraction of FDI. Official FDI statistics (ONS, 1999(ONS, -2006 support the latter view.…”

“…Alternatively the number of projects has been used instead (Wren and Jones, 2011;Dimitropoulou et al, 2013). These regional FDI figures should be treated with a degree of caution according to scholars such as Stone and Peck (1996) and Munday et al (2009). When considering the influence of foreign owned businesses on the local labour force, measures of capital invested, or worse projects, may not necessarily reflect the true impact, as more capital intensive industries may have a less direct influence on the enterprise culture (Barbosa and Eiriz, 2009).…”
