Firm Migration to Britain in the Aftermath of the 1931 Emergency Tariff

The dataset was assembled for a research project on the growth and economic impact of overseas multinational enterprises in Britain during the interwar period. The project examined the impact of protectionism on the expansion of overseas multinationals in Britain, the development of public policy towards in-coming multinationals, the location of new multinational plants, and the Trades Union Congress campaign against employment practices that were perceived to be typical of overseas-based enterprises.
