This book was released on 2005 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging markets frequently feature strong economic growth but also unique risks - political instability, legal uncertainty and corruption - which constitute barriers to foreign direct investment (FDI). This study analyzes empirically whether superior investment profiles of recipient countries matter for German FDI in addition to typical determinants such as labor costs, level of income and market openness. The specifics of banking FDI are also examined, notably the impact of incipient banking crises abroad and the risk-mitigating property of multilateral development banks acting as stakeholders in individual FDI projects. The concluding part highlights recent initiatives of international organizations to lower investment barriers, fight corruption and strengthen financial system stability.

Book excerpt: Using a dataset which breaks down FDI flows into primary, secondary and tertiary sector investments and a GMM dynamic approach to address concerns about endogeneity, the paper analyzes various macroeconomic, developmental, and institutional/qualitative determinants of FDI in a sample of emerging market and developed economies. While FDI flows into the primary sector show little dependence on any of these variables, secondary and tertiary sector investments are affected in different ways by countries’ income levels and exchange rate valuation, as well as development indicators such as financial depth and school enrollment, and institutional factors such as judicial independence and labor market flexibility. Finally, we find that the effect of these factors often differs between advanced and emerging economies.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses some of the critical issues now demanding the attention of International Business teachers and researchers. From several angles, the contributions analyze factors which may explain, and/or influence the relationship between the competitiveness of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and the countries in which they operate. More particularly, the four main issues address: the recent advances in the determinants and strategy of multinational business activity; the determinants of location competitiveness of countries; the competitiveness of emergent and developing countries and the locational responses of both indigenous and foreign-owned firms; and the policy challenges raised by the highly fragmented, and often uncoordinated international regulatory framework on government FDI. It is hoped the contents of the volume will be of interest to international business scholars, senior executives of multinational enterprises and national policy makers interested in advancing their competitiveness by engaging in outward, and encouraging inward foreign direct investment. This book addresses some of the critical issues now demanding the attention of International Business teachers and researchers. This book is published annually.

This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s, the governments of South Asian countries acted as ‘facilitators’ to attract FDI. As a result, the inflow of FDI increased. However, to become an attractive FDI destination as China, Singapore, or Brazil, South Asia has to improve the local conditions of doing business. This book, based on research that blends theory, empirical evidence, and policy, asks and attempts to answer a few core questions relevant to FDI policy in South Asian countries: Which major reforms have succeeded? What are the factors that influence FDI inflows? What has been the impact of FDI on macroeconomic performance? Which policy priorities/reforms needed to boost FDI are pending? These questions and answers should interest policy makers, academics, and all those interested in FDI in the South Asian region and in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature of international business agrees on the importance of global activities for corporations as well as developed and developing nations. Due to production and market advantages, a company can increase profits considerably whereas the new incoming knowledge triggers economic advancement in the affected country. As a consequence of higher involvement into international operations, the importance of the emerging markets Brazil, Russia, India and China has increased expressively in the last years that is why this paper puts its major focus on these nations. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between international foreign direct investment inflows into the countries Brazil, Russia, India and China and the variables economic policy uncertainty and effective annual taxation. These two variables recently showed a high importance regarding policy implications, but have only been covered to a limited extent in previous research studies. By taking into account the time period of 2004-2016 for a multiple regression analysis, the significance of the two independent variables regarding direct cross border inflows is identified. To give a comprehensive view of the mentioned determinants, various other variables are taken into account to ensure that the model represents an unbiased view of the international activities in the emerging markets. After conducting the empirical research, it can be seen that the previous years policy uncertainty defines the level of foreign direct investment in the current year. This lagging effect shows that a lower economic policy uncertainty of the previous period leads to higher cross border inflows in the next year. The effective annual taxation shows a significant negative correlation with foreign direct investment inflows in the four countries. This indicates that a lower corporate tax rate for international companies, caused by policy actions of the mentioned countries, leads to higher direct cross border inflows. As a consequence, policy makers decisions should be influenced by the two indicators economic policy uncertainty and effective annual tax rate, as they can certainly determine the level of foreign direct investment in the countries Brazil, Russia, India and China. Furthermore, there is clear potential for additional studies in the area of international cross border investments aiming to clarify the limitations of this study, such as the restricted available dataset for the dependent factor foreign direct investment inflows and the independent variable economic policy uncertainty, in order to receive a comprehensive understanding about determinants of foreign direct investment in emerging market economies. *****The literature of international business agrees on the importance of global activities for corporations as well as developed and developing nations.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,3, LMU Munich (Institut für marktorientierte Unternehmensführung), language: English, abstract: Both the drivers and effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) are complex and multifaceted. This thesis provides a conceptual overview of a selection of the most frequently considered drivers and economic effects of FDI in literature. The overview aims to support host countries in providing targeted incentives to attract FDI by raising the awareness of controllable drivers. Drivers for selecting a specific host country are presented hierarchically according to their controllability by the host country. The governance infrastructure as a driver, for instance, is easier to control by the target country than market characteristics, cultural distance, or resource endowments. This thesis discusses the drivers according to their decreasing controllability, starting with political factors, followed by economic, social, and cultural, as well as geographical factors. The reasons why these factors may attract FDI are outlined in the respective subsections. Moreover, this overview presents the economic effects of FDI on the host country. These effects include increased competition or spillover effects from foreign to local companies. The composition of direct and indirect effects leads to the conclusion that all these effects impact economic growth, which represents both a driver and an effect of FDI simultaneously. Thus, this thesis refers to the dependencies between drivers and effects with their interrelated factor economic growth. Further, it is argued that the effects of FDI are significantly interdependent among each other. Therefore, the realization of specific effects, such as economic growth, strongly depends on conditions and specific characteristics, such as the particular threshold level of human capital in the host country.
