1
Let's dive into the economics of immigration.
2
In today's globalized world, many of the products we use daily are the result of international collaboration.
3
Take the device you're watching this on.
4
If it's an Apple product, it was designed in California, assembled in China, and likely contains materials sourced from the Congo.
5
Apple is just one of countless multinational companies that rely on a global supply chain.
6
It's like the ultimate team project, but without the awkward group meetings.
7
Consider the automotive industry.
8
Six of the top 10 car brands in the US are foreign companies.
9
Toyota, Honda, Subaru and Nissan from Japan and Kia and Hyundai from South Korea.
10
On the flip side, American companies have found massive success abroad.
11
KFC has become a household name in China because who doesn't love fried chicken and Nvidia dominates the AI chip market worldwide.
12
With businesses increasingly seeking opportunities in foreign markets, you might wonder how they decide where to invest.
13
What factors help them succeed abroad?
14
According to research by Zeke Hernandez at the University of Pennsylvania, immigration is a significant factor.
15
His studies reveal that companies are more likely to invest in countries with more immigrants from their home country.
16
For instance, foreign companies tend to invest in U.S states with larger populations of immigrants from their own countries.
17
Immigrants Immigrants help companies navigate unfamiliar markets, which leads to more successful investments and ultimately job creation.
18
Immigrant communities offer valuable insights into local consumer behavior, cultural norms, and business practices.
19
It's like having a built-in user manual for a new market.
20
This trend is especially important when considering that around 50% of businesses fail when entering new markets.
21
Immigrants help mitigate these risks by facilitating smoother transitions and better decision-making for companies without prior experience in a foreign country.
22
Hernandez's research shows that this pattern holds true across various industries, whether it's fast food chains,
23
manufacturing, or high-tech firms that employ skilled workers and offer high salaries.
24
Interestingly, the impact of immigrant communities on foreign investment often outweighs other common factors such as government incentives
25
or the presence of industry clusters like Hollywood or Silicon Valley.
26
This suggests that human connections, networks, and shared cultural understandings are pivotal in driving business success.
27
Sorry, tax breaks, you're not the only game in town.
28
So what does this mean for policymakers?
29
If you're designing immigration policies for a country that attracts immigrants, there's an economic angle to consider.
30
By welcoming immigrants, you're not only embracing diversity but also potentially boosting foreign investment.
31
More investment means more jobs and economic growth.
32
Essentially, by fostering an environment that encourages immigration,
33
you're giving businesses from those immigrants home countries a reason to invest in and expand into your economy.
34
In summary, the relationship between immigration and foreign investment is a key factor in global business success.
35
Companies thrive when they can rely on the cultural knowledge and networks of immigrant communities, leading to economic growth in their host countries.
36
As we move forward in an increasingly interconnected world, recognizing and leveraging this connection can lead to mutual benefits for businesses,
37
immigrants, and their new communities.
38
Plus, who doesn't love more job opportunities and a variety of international cuisines?
39
Thank you.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
