Global multinational enterprises have consistently selected the United States as a destination to establish operations, and in turn, their investments play a key role in creating jobs. As SelectUSA continues strengthening its commitment to attracting investment into the United States, it is important to analyze the impact of FDI in supporting jobs across industries and occupations, so we can understand the broad impact of FDI in the United States.The report, published by the Department of Commerce, provides an update to the methodology originally devised by Richards and Schaefer (2016). The methodology involves simulations with the USAGE model of the U.S. economy . To estimate the employment impact of FDI, the model simulates a version of the U.S. economy with FDI entirely removed. This essentially isolates FDI’s impact on the economy. Please see the main report for more information about this model. The updated simulations show the effect on U.S. employment when foreign-owned capital is removed from the U.S. economy, and when FDI-related productivity gains in manufacturing are eliminated.FDI & EMPLOYMENT BRIEF End of tab panel UNDERSTANDING THE U.S. RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKETAPRIL 2022The United States’ renewable energy sector, already the second largest in the world, is poised for strong growth. Bolstered by growing demand for clean energy, falling costs, and robust incentives, renewable energy is expected to become the leading source of electricity generation by the mid-2030s. By 2050, renewable energy sources are projected to provide 42 percent of the United States’ electricity compared to approximately 20 percent today.  Given the pace and scale of the transformation underway, the U.S. renewable market offers a valuable opportunity for investors. This brief explores the U.S. renewable energy landscape with a focus on the U.S. electricity sector using data from the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA), International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), International Energy Agency (IEA), Congressional Research Service (CRS) and fDi Markets. Currently, about 60 percent of U.S. renewable energy goes to the electricity sector, while the electricity sector overall consumes about 38 percent of total U.S. primary energy mix which includes energy used directly in transportation, as well as industrial, residential, and commercial heating applications. Focusing on the five largest sources of renewable electricity generation—hydroelectric, wind, biomass, solar and geothermal—this paper provides information on historical trends in power generation in the United States, forecasted changes in the U.S. electricity market and their key drivers, namely declining construction costs and government incentives, and the implications for foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States.READ THE GUIDE  End of tab panel WHAT'S HAPPENING EVENTS SelectUSA hosts a range of events – in addition to sponsoring and participating in select industry events – in the United States and around the world.See our full calendar of events to connect both virtually and on the road!
