Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop and demonstrate a semi-automated text analytics approach for the identification and categorization of information that can be used for country logistics assessments. In this paper, we develop the methodology on a set of documents for 21 countries using machine learning techniques while controlling both for 4 different time periods in the world FDI trends, and the different geographic and economic country affiliations. We report illustrative findings followed by a presentation of the separation of concerns/division of labor between the domain expert and the text analyst. Implications are discussed and future work is outlined.
