I was just suggesting that the students could start from known point, wherever they are they can simply do a google search. To locate a world of info. With this ad a base they could then branch out. So. For eg, if from bc or u.s or milan How much fdi comes in and how much goes out. Again. Bc is just an eg. How much money do they invest in Africa, Europe, Asia, etc. now that they under stand a local situation, they can get more precise by looking at a specific country in Africa and investigate how their local investments impact or are impacted by fdi. Again. Just a suggestion.
