Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment in South Asia written by Pravakar Sahoo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. 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.

Download or read book Harnessing Globalization written by Roy C. Nelson and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can countries in the underdeveloped world position themselves to take best advantage of the positive economic benefits of globalization? One avenue to success is the harnessing of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the “nontraditional” forms of the high-technology and service sectors, where an educated workforce is essential and the spillover effects to other sectors are potentially very beneficial. In this book, Roy Nelson compares efforts in three Latin American countries—Brazil, Chile, and Costa Rica—to attract nontraditional FDI and analyzes the reasons for their relative success or failure. As a further comparison, he uses the successes of FDI promotion in Ireland and Singapore to help refine the analysis. His study shows that two factors, in particular, are critical. First is the government’s autonomy from special interest groups, both domestic and foreign, arising from the level of political security enjoyed by government leaders. The second factor is the government’s ability to learn about prospective investors and the inducements that are most important to them—what he calls “transnational learning capacity.” Nelson draws lessons from his analysis for how governments might develop more effective strategies for attracting nontraditional FDI.

Book excerpt: International expansion present new opportunities for companies to generate extra value added and have become a vital aspect of corporate strategy development and implementation. Nowadays most European Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) within European continent outflows towards Eastern Europe in the countries like Hungary or Czech Republic. Each nation-state will have some competitive advantages. Why should non-for-profit company like RFH choose to enter just Bosnian market, the country which was destroyed by the war a few years ago and where progress is still needed in many areas and not some of markets mentioned above? Which special strategic and legal issues non-for-profit organisation must consider in such case? Why choices of investment locations, mode of entry and initial pricing strategy have critical impact on value added to the firm's competitive advantage? This report will give answers on these and further arising questions. It concerns Information technological (IT)-Centre of one German non-for-profit organisation (RFH), and its attempts to benefit of global capital while diminishing the negative effects of economic swings in the home country. On studying and analysis of the literature relevant and reliable sources of information, to invest in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the vocational training and educational sector is nowadays moreover absolutely a recommendable commercial decision. All economic indicators argue for it. The analysis determinate four main reasons for it: Improvement of vocational Training and Adult Training sector is one of the emergent sector priorities settled in governmental Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and European Commission Feasibility Study as a precondition for cooperation between EU and Bosnia. Local competition in the area of Vocational and Adult Training is extremely weak (currently there are existing only 2 private companies similarly to RFH). Bosnian market offers enough potential customers which may use Vocational and Adult Training offers. These customers are local industry as well as students, scholars and unemployed people (Rate of unemployment in Bosnia amounts to 43%). A row of investment incentives and financial incentives are offered by European Union (EU), Bosnian government and Germany they reduce risks of FDI in Bosnia.

Book excerpt: Since the turn of the century, the liberalization of capital markets has caused exponential growth of foreign direct investment (FDI).

Download or read book Education Systems and Foreign Direct Investment written by Elise Wendlassida Miningou and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the effect of the efficiency of the education system on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). First, it focuses on the external efficiency and applies a frontier-based measure as a proxy of the ability of countries to optimally convert the average years of schooling into income for individuals. Second, it shows the relationship between the external efficiency of the education system and FDI inflows by applying GMM regression technique. The results show that the efficiency level varies across regions and countries and appears to be driven by higher education and secondary vocational education. Similarly to other studies in the literature, there is no significant relationship between the average years of schooling and FDI inflows. However, this study shows that the external efficiency of the education system is important for FDI inflows. Improving the external efficiency of the education system can play a role in attracting FDI especially in non-resource rich countries, nonlandloked countries and countries in the low and medium human development groups.

Download or read book Challenges to Globalization written by Robert E. Baldwin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People passionately disagree about the nature of the globalization process. The failure of both the 1999 and 2003 World Trade Organization's (WTO) ministerial conferences in Seattle and Cancun, respectively, have highlighted the tensions among official, international organizations like the WTO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, nongovernmental and private sector organizations, and some developing country governments. These tensions are commonly attributed to longstanding disagreements over such issues as labor rights, environmental standards, and tariff-cutting rules. In addition, developing countries are increasingly resentful of the burdens of adjustment placed on them that they argue are not matched by commensurate commitments from developed countries. Challenges to Globalization evaluates the arguments of pro-globalists and anti-globalists regarding issues such as globalization's relationship to democracy, its impact on the environment and on labor markets including the brain drain, sweat shop labor, wage levels, and changes in production processes, and the associated expansion of trade and its effects on prices. Baldwin, Winters, and the contributors to this volume look at multinational firms, foreign investment, and mergers and acquisitions and present surprising findings that often run counter to the claim that multinational firms primarily seek countries with low wage labor. The book closes with papers on financial opening and on the relationship between international economic policies and national economic growth rates.
