Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this thesis is to explore and study various dimensions of the interaction between one of the most important institutional quality aspects, namely property rights, and one important aspect of integration into the world economy: foreign direct investment (FDI), and links them to economic growth. In particular, this thesis explores whether the interaction between institutions and FDI has any implication for economic growth and whether there is any complementarity between the role of institutions and the role of FDI in fostering economic growth. To achieve this aim, the thesis was designed to include four empirical chapters in addition to two chapters: one for the introduction and the other for the conclusion. The first two empirical chapters studied the interrelationship between FDI and institutions. And the other two empirical chapters studied the implication of the interrelationship and the complementarity between FDI and institutions for economic growth. Chapter one motivated the thesis and set its aim and structure. The second chapter studies the role of institutions in determining FDI inflows and shows that institutional quality is one of the most important determinants of FDI. Based on this result, chapter three introduces a hypothesis that foreign investors will create a demand for better institutions in host countries, and that governments competing to attract more FDI will be induced to provide such institutions, leading to improvements in institutional quality in host countries. The empirical evidence reported in this chapter supports this hypothesis and shows that FDI inflows have a positive impact on property rights in host countries. Chapter four explores whether institutions play a role in determining the contribution of FDI to economic growth. The results presented in this chapter show that a host country needs to achieve a minimum level of institutional quality in order to be able to benefit from the positive externalities offered by FDI. Based on the results of chapter three, chapter five investigates whether the positive impact of FDI in institutional quality on host countries can be considered as a new growth-enhancing role for FDI. The results reported in chapter five show that the impact of FDI on economic growth that works via institutions, is a significant one, and is generally greater and more robust than the direct impact. Over all, the major contribution of this thesis is that it shows that a better understanding of the contribution of FDI to economic growth requires taking into account the interrelationship and the complementarity between FDI and institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jakob Schwab analyzes central mechanisms in the systematic economic interaction between rich and poor countries. He focuses on the drivers and effects of investment in developing countries and shows that predictions of standard economic analysis may turn around when accounting for peculiarities of North-South globalization. The author shows how endowments with educational skill levels may lead to complementarity between trade and capital inflows, how inflows of direct investment capital may hinder income growth in poor countries, and how the distributional effects of the presence of multinational enterprises are perceived differently in countries of different development structures.

This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the achievement of further EU and NATO enlargement, a critical political and economic lens is now focused on East Central Europe and, to a lesser extent, the other former communist states. Economic growth in each transition state - and more broadly the region - pivots around the prospects for foreign direct investment (FDI), with decisions on where foreign investors will locate their projects now vitally important. This book - the first one devoted to a geographical survey concentrating specifically on FDI in the region - brings together a wide range of prominent authors from the US and Europe, including the late Frank Carter, to provide a timely and critical examination of the importance of foreign investment. It presents a detailed analysis of location patterns and their significance for regional development, with particular emphasis given to the important socioeconomic and political consequences of uneven distribution of FDI across the region and its constituent countries. Divided into two parts, the book first deals with general overarching themes and issues before applying these to more specific country case studies. The second part deals with regional studies, focusing broadly on the Western Balkans and Bulgaria, before looking at specific economic sectors in individual countries.

This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 3 develops a statistical procedure to select the appropriate nonparametric efficiency model in terms of its dimensionality. The change of dimensionality is categorized into three cases: nested variable changes (expansion or contraction of a variable set), additive variable changes (aggregation or disaggregation of a variable set) and other non-nested model changes. A bootstrapping method is proposed to measure the size of the dimensionality effect. Potential bias in raw efficiency scores owing to the dimensionality effect is corrected to reflect true efficient levels. An empirical illustration is presented with the Hughes and Yaisawarng (2004) (hereafter HY) data set.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 20 years, Uganda has been aggressively promoting herself as one of the best investment destinations in Sub Saharan Africa. In an effort to make the country very attractive to the foreign investors, the government has introduced a wide range of incentives to motivate the flow of FDI into the country. However, other than the fact that the incentives are very expensive to the poor economy, FDI has been faulted for outcompeting domestic investors and driving them out of business as well as perpetuating imbalances in regional development. All this while and despite these concerns, very little effort has been made to establish empirically how FDI affects the Ugandan economy. This thesis is an attempt to comprehensively examine FDI in Uganda. It investigates inward FDI to Uganda from four dimensions with each dimension appearing as an essay in the thesis. Essay one probes the determinants of FDI to the country. The second essay investigates the effect of FDI on Uganda's economic growth. Essay three is an inquiry into whether FDI crowds-out domestic investment in Uganda while the last essay is an assessment of the regional distribution of FDI in Uganda. Overall, a number of policy implications from the study can be identified; for example, there is value in promoting the country for more FDI based on the fact that FDI makes a positive and significant contribution to economic growth. From the crowding evidence, it may be helpful to apply preferential policies with respect to the different sectors. In order to achieve the objective of balanced national development, it might be necessary to introduce special incentives in the regions which are lagging behind, or the government may consider creating industrial parks in those regions as a way of redistributing agglomerative advantages which are essential for determining the regional location of new FDI firms.
