Download or read book Japanese Direct Investment in Mexico s Transport Equipment Sector written by Melba Falck-Reyes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Japanese foreign direct investment determinants, the close relations between foreign investment and trade flows in the host country, and the effects and responses by the local economy. It provides an accessible and comprehensive view of the overall macro impacts and local effects associated with the increasing flow of Japanese firms to Mexico’s automotive industry. The research and its outcomes presented here follow extensive fieldwork and use unique statistical datasets to integrate qualitative and quantitative approaches to the analysis. Carefully chosen case studies produce an integrated approach to the subject. As a result, the book fills a vacuum on this topic and provides readers with a clear understanding of the complex interactions among participating actors: Japanese multinationals and Japanese parts-and-components suppliers, Mexican local suppliers, government at the national and local levels, and cooperating Japanese agencies. By critically assessing current theories and empirical methodologies the monograph covers aspects related to the creation of regional production networks and their impact on trade patterns of the recipient country, location determinants of Japanese foreign investment, and spillover externalities in host entities. It presents the reader with a comprehensive view of the different levels of interaction between multinational firms, local recipient economies, and local suppliers and the challenges they face to engage in global chains of production. The book is highly recommended to academics and their students who seek to understand the complex international economic relations in the global economy. This compilation also serves as a valuable guide to policy makers, both at national and local levels, as it provides an informed analysis of how to engage local suppliers in regional and global production chains.
Download or read book Japan Real Estate Investment written by M. A. Hines and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-02-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From long personal experience, research, and private conversations with international real estate investors, analysts, and marketing executives, Dr. Hines identifies succinctly and precisely the differences between investing in Japanese real estate and real estate elsewhere--the crucial differences, plus the risks and hazards that real estate professionals must know and understand. She shows that the new Japanese economic environment is having its affect on real estate there, how foreign investors are influencing the value of property and the systems to analyze it, and why the financing of real estate in Japan through loan and equity securitization is on the rise. Real estate professionals will be particularly interested in her coverage of commercial and residential property, while specialists with other interests will also get an unusual view of Japanese urban planning, land development, and tenure changes over time, information that is rarely available in English. Dr. Hines focuses on the Tokyo metropolitan area and on office buildings and shopping centers, in general but she also covers residential and industrial property investment across Japan. Readers will get a quick view of the new investment climate and aspects of economic, cultural, governmental, and environmental change in Japan. She gives a brief history of Japanese land tenure and views current land planning and control from a historical perspective. For real estate professionals there are chapters on leasing, marketing, land development, and construction, and she delineates the differences between Japanese real estate appraisal and international valuation methods and practices. Also noted is the increased use of income capitalization methods. Dr. Hines examines differences between Japanese and international real estate investment methods of analysis, particularly in light of Japanese real estate financing and taxation. She also illustrates the imputed interest charge methods of investment analysis and gives special emphasis to internationally approved discounted cash flow analysis. Finally, the book examines the trend toward real estate securitization and shows how banks and other financial institutions are reducing their real estate lending and restructuring themselves to prepare for a new era of economic reform.
