Download or read book Africa s manufacturing puzzle Evidence from Tanzanian and Ethiopian firms written by Diao, Xinshen and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent growth accelerations in Africa are characterized by increasing productivity in agriculture, a declining share of the labor force employed in agriculture and declining productivity in modern sectors such as manufacturing. To shed light on this puzzle, we disaggregate firms in the manufacturing sector by size using two newly created panels of manufacturing firms, one for Tanzania covering 2008-2016 and one for Ethiopia covering 1996-2017. Our analysis reveals a dichotomy between larger firms that exhibit superior productivity performance but do not expand employment much, and small firms that absorb employment but do not experience any productivity growth. We suggest the poor employment performance of large firms is related to use of capital-intensive techniques associated with global trends in technology.
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment Economic Growth and Export in Ethiopia written by Endale Teshome Wodajo and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast body of literature asserts that FDI helps to promote economic growth through various channels. However, mixed empirical evidences are prevalent contradicting these theoretical prescriptions making the role of FDI in promoting growth and curing development problems controversial. Such conflicting evidence is not exception to Ethiopian economy. Moreover, in Ethiopian context, studies on sectoral export versus FDI are also scanty. Therefore, the purpose of this research work is to study the relationships of FDI with real gross domestic product and export both at aggregate and sectoral level. The book has five chapters: the introductory chapter, review of related literature chapter, chapter three is about theoretical frame, methodology and data description, chapter four is the empirical analysis comprising descriptive, econometric, and causality relationship. The final chapter presents major findings and conclusions. The analyses inform the outcomes of FDI both at aggregate and sector level to policy makers and those working in the area; moreover, it is useful for professional and academic researchers to address FDI related policy issues through further studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Discussion Paper No. 351. Outlines Tunisia's innovative strategy of reducing the budgetary costs of food subsidies in a manner that is politically acceptable and that protects the nutritional status of the poor. The government uses self-targeted programs, whereby subsidies are shifted to items consumed primarily by low-income groups, while prices of unsubsidized, higher-quality items are liberalized, appealing to higher-income groups who then consume less of the subsidized foods.
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment and Knowledge Diffusion in Poor Locations written by Girum Abebe and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use a plant level survey to identify interactions between domestic plants and foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ethiopia's manufacturing sector. One third of Ethiopian plants are linked to FDI through labor sharing, supply chains and competition. Technology upgrading most commonly occurs as a result of competition in output markets and observation and imitation of FDI in the same line of business. Other benefits include enhanced managerial practices and knowledge about exporting. Spillovers from FDI are identified by comparing changes in total factor productivity (TFP) among domestic plants in districts where a large greenfield foreign plant produces and districts where FDI in the same industry and around the same time was licensed but not yet operational. Over the four years starting with the year of the FDI opening, the TFP of domestic plants is 11 percent higher in treated districts, employment in domestic plants increases and more domestic plants open.

Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to assess and identify the determinants of foreign direct investment in Ethiopian economy, particularly associated with economic growth potential. The increasing trend of globalization over the last decades has led to strong growth of foreign direct investment which can bring many advantages to host countries like bringing technology transfer, raising foreign funds, creating employment opportunities, producing competitive business environment, helping human capital formation and so on.

This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines environmental sustainability and inclusive economic growth, providing in-depth analysis of foreign direct investment (FDI) in large-scale agriculture in Ethiopia. In most African states, arable land and other natural resources play a pivotal role for economic growth and development. Ethiopia is one of those countries where agriculture is the backbone of the economy. This sector has also been an attraction for FDI in Sub-Saharan Africa since the global food and financial crisis of 2007 and 2008. This book uses six foreign investments in large-scale agriculture as case studies to examine current Ethiopian policies, the patterns of investment they promote, how these impact on land-based resources and communities’ wellbeing. Presenting analyses of the economic, social and political realities of foreign direct investment in the local context, Foreign Direct Investment in Large-Scale Agriculture in Africa discusses how the fundamental principles of pro-poor and environmentally sustainable investments intersect with the government’s ambition to advance Ethiopia’s development agenda. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of African economics and sustainable development, African policy makers, intergovernmental organisations as well as multilateral and bilateral development partners.
