AbstractThis paper re-examines the model developed by Firoozi [Firoozi, F., 1997. Multinational FDI and uncertainty: an exposition. Journal of Multinational Financial Management 7, 265-273] to study foreign direct investment (FDI) by multinationals facing cost uncertainty. Firoozi shows that a mean-preserving-spread increase in cost uncertainty has an ambiguous effect on the optimal level of FDI. Contrary to his findings, we show that the FDI-uncertainty connection is de facto negative, confined to his model and under reasonable assumptions on multinationals' preferences.
