Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) can be a valuable tool for development. However, not all forms of FDI are equally beneficial for the host country. The paper analyses the characteristics and determinants of FDI in a typical developing country: Ghana. Moreover, key policy areas are indicated, in order to enable Ghana both to attract more FDI and to increase the benefits from these capital inflows. The analysis combines qualitative and quantitative methods and is partly based on data retrieved from the World Bank's 2007 Enterprise Survey, and partly on our own survey of 54 multinational enterprises operating in Ghana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Development in Ghana and Malaysia investigates why two countries that appeared to be at more or less the same stage of economic development at one point in time have diverged so substantially. At the time of their independence from the UK in 1957, both Ghana and Malaysia were at roughly the same stage of economic development; in fact, Ghana’s real per capita income was slightly ahead of Malaysia’s. Since then, Ghana’s development has been sluggish, while Malaysia’s economy has taken off into sustained growth and today, the real per capita income of Malaysia is about five times that of Ghana. This volume examines the pre-colonial and colonial economies of both countries, and the economic policies pursued after independence. In doing so, it aims to identify policies which might have contributed to Malaysia’s development and those which might have slowed Ghana’s. The authors ask whether lessons can be learned from the successes of countries such as Malaysia. This detailed comparative analysis will be useful to students and researchers of development economics as well as public policy makers in developing countries. It is written in language which makes it accessible to the general reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the study was to examine the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from 1985 to 2015 in an emerging economy, Ghana. The study used a robust OLS regression and a Granger Causality Test to test for causal effects on a longitudinal data of thirty years. The study found, using a robust OLS regression model that, Natural Resource Endowment, Government expenditure, External debt and Infrastructure has significant predictive effects on FDI although the effect were more profound for natural resources and government expenditure. Using a Granger causality approach, interest rate, natural Resource Endowment, Government expenditure, inflation, Infrastructure and international reserves were observed to Granger cause FDI. The study recommends that policyholders and the government should also put in place measures that would maintain natural resources and spend on improving infrastructure and development as these attract foreign investments into the country.

This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can Africa, the world’s most lagging region, benefit from globalisation and achieve sustained economic growth? Africa needs greater investment by Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) to improve competitiveness and generate more growth through positive spill-over effects. Despite the fact that Africa’s returns on investment averaged 29% since 1990, Africa has gained merely 1% of global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows. The challenge for African countries is how to be a more desirable destination for FDI. The study integrates three currents of economic research, namely from the literature on (endogenous) economic growth, convergence and regional integration, the explanations for Africa’s poor growth and the growing understanding of the role of MNEs in a global economy. The empirical side of the book is based on an econometric study of the determinants of FDI in Africa as well as a detailed firm-level survey conducted in 2000.

This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the implementation of the Economic Reform Programme (ERP) in 1983, the adoption of the Mining Code in 1986, the enactment of the Investment Code in 1994, and the Free Zone Act in 1995, Ghana has greatly improved the business environment for foreign (and domestic) investors (UNCTAD 2003). [...] The main intention of the final section is to provide Ghanaian policy makers with the key findings of the study and a brief outlook on how to improve the investment climate for attracting more FDI and improving the benefits from existing FDI. [...] For 66 percent of the firms in the sample, the share of foreign investment in the firm is above 75 percent. [...] Firms see the potential for the Ghanaian market to grow as the most important variable in relation to the extent to which the market acts as a pull for foreign investments. [...] In Table 23 we look at the obstacles to doing business in relation to the size of the firm as measured by the number of employees.

This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, Xiamen University, language: English, abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the economic growth stimulus due to its associated variables such as capital investment, technical know-how, knowledge transfer and managerial competence required for economic growth. In the last decade, China has emerged on the international financial scene as both financier and investment partner to African economies. Many African economies such as the oil producing and exporting ones have witnessed streams of China’s FDI in their economies whereas non-oil exporting ones have accessed some of China’s FDI in selective sectors. This paper aims at investigating the relationship between China’s FDI and economic growth in Ghana measured by real average annual domestic product (GDP) per capita growth for the period 2001-2010. By using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model, the result indicates that China’s FDI has negative significant effect on Ghana’s economic growth. However, it exerts different effects on value added in the three economic sectors.
