Book The Impact of Exchange Rate Volatility on U S Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America

Download or read book The Impact of Exchange Rate Volatility on U S Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America written by Callye R. M. Masten and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) have been widely examined. Previous studies have shown that exchange rates play a vital role in the analysis and are a major determinant in the flow of FDI. Most research has focused on examining how exchange rate volatility affects the economies of developed nations. However, little research has been done in understanding the impact of exchange rate volatility on FDI flows to Latin America. Developing countries lack the capital that is needed for further growth. Therefore, FDI is important to developing countries, because it allows them to gain the necessary capital. This paper examines the relationship between exchange rate volatility, political institutions and FDI flows into Latin America across two sectors: food processing, and industrial manufacturing. Empirical results show that exchange rate volatility significantly deters the flow of U.S. FDI into Latin America. Other significant economic factors are U.S. interest rates and openness to trade. Conflict and corruption are the political risk factors that have significant impacts on FDI flows. Conclusions from the paper recommend governments in Latin America to implement macroeconomic polices that promote stability, which could help reduce exchange rate volatility and lower inflation.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Foreign direct investment (FDI) has emerged as a central force in expanding global economic activity in recent decades, Much of the public's attention has focused on US-based multinational corporations (MNCs) whose foreign affiliates produce goods and services in volumes that are twice as large as total world exports. Less well appreciated, perhaps, the United States has been and still as is the largest host to inward FDI in the world, receiving more than twice as much direct investment as China, which ranked second in 2010..."--Preface.

Book Foreign Direct Investment and the Multinational Enterprise

Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment and the Multinational Enterprise written by Steven Brakman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The multinational firm and its main vehicle, foreign direct investment, are key forces in economic globalization. Their importance to the world economy can be seen in the fact that since 1990 foreign direct investment has grown more rapidly than the world GDP and world trade. Despite this, the causes and consequences of multinational firm activity are little understood and until recently relatively unexamined in the theoretical literature. This CESifo volume fills this gap, examining the multinational enterprise (MNE) and foreign direct investment (FDI) from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. In the theoretical chapters, leading scholars take a wide range of modern analytical approaches--from new growth and trade theories to new economic geography, industrial organization, and game theory. Taking current theoretical work on MNE and FDI as a starting point and aiming to extend the existing theoretical framework, the contributors consider such topics as investment liberalization and firm location, tax competition, and welfare consequences of FDI and outsourcing. The empirical chapters test several of the key hypotheses of recent theoretical work on MNE and FDI, examining topics that include productivity effects on Italian MNEs, the different effects of outsourcing in Austria and Poland, location decisions of MNEs in the European Union, and other topics.

Book Exchange Rate Flexibility Volatility and the Patterns of Domestic and Foreign Direct Investment

Download or read book Exchange Rate Flexibility Volatility and the Patterns of Domestic and Foreign Direct Investment written by Mr.Joshua Aizenman and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1992-03 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the factors determining the impact of exchange rate regimes on the behavior of domestic investment and foreign direct investment (FDI). Producers may diversify internationally in order to increase the flexibility of production. We characterize the possible equilibria in a macro model that allows for the presence of a short-run Phillips curve. It is shown that a fixed exchange rate regime is more conducive to FDI relative to a flexible exchange rate, and this conclusion applies for both real and nominal shocks. If the dominant shocks are nominal (real) we will observe a negative (a positive) correlation between exchange rate volatility and the level of investment.
