How is that calculated? Do you happen to have sources/articles on this topic?
I'd think that the larger economy eats the smaller (that is US money goes and makes profit in the smaller ones), but maybe it's a lot more complex than that.
It has to do with the balance of payments. US entities do invest and make profits overseas. However, investments into the US (including loans to the US Treasury, for example) happen in larger amounts than investments from the US into other countries. Regardless of where profits are made or who made them, people prefer to put their money in the US.
