MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

Abstract

Through an analysis of foreign exports, foreign direct investment, and international migration, this paper assesses the Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area's status as a world city. The data suggest that although Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities metropolitan area, is increasingly anchored to the global economy, the Twin Cities area is not a world city that facilitates international investments and trade. Instead, the increased international exposure of the Twin Cities reflects the global orientation of the United States economy as a whole.
