Abstract

The purpose of the study reported here was to measure the effects of foreign economic and political environments on American consumers' willingness to buy European-made products. Findings revealed a significant difference in consumers' willingness to buy products from various European countries. Furthermore, American consumers' willingness to buy products from selected countries was found to be strongly affected by their perceptions of the level of economic development and the political climate in the products' country of origin.
