Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tax rules can be manipulated by governments to create incentives for their domestic firms to invest at home. This can include offering tax breaks or other financial incentives that make investing at home more attractive than investing in foreign countries. Safety regulations and environmental rules are typically designed to protect public health and the environment and are not typically manipulated to encourage domestic investment. The stock market and the media are not under government control and therefore cannot be manipulated by governments to encourage investment.
