Book Outward Foreign Direct Investment and Domestic Investment

Download or read book Outward Foreign Direct Investment and Domestic Investment written by Mr.Ali J Al-Sadiq and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the growth rate of outward foreign direct investment (FDI) from developing and transition economies has increased significantly. Given the role of physical capital accumulation in determining the economic growth rate, it is important to assess how domestic investment responds to such outflows. This study empirically examines the effects of outward FDI on domestic investment in developing countries. Using data from 121 developing and transition economies over the period 1990–2010, the results suggest that FDI outflows negatively impact the rate of domestic investment.

Book Outward Foreign Direct Investment and US Exports  Jobs  and R D

Download or read book Outward Foreign Direct Investment and US Exports Jobs and R D written by Gary Clyde Hufbauer and published by Peterson Institute for International Economics. This book was released on 2013-09-19 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not in the US interest to adopt tax and regulatory policies that would discourage global engagement by US multinational corporations (MNCs). Research presented in this book shows that the expansion of foreign affiliates of US MNCs is positively associated with more production, greater employment, higher exports, and more research and development (R&D) in the United States. These findings suggest that less investment abroad by US firms would weaken—not strengthen—the US economy. This analysis by no means implies that there are only winners and no losers from outward investment. Changing patterns of MNC investment, like changing patterns of technology and production more generally, contribute to job losses and dislocations for some workers and to new opportunities for others. To benefit the US economy and US workers most broadly, the United States will want to search for ways to strengthen the appeal of the United States as a base for the operations of international firms. High among the recommendations to accomplish this, the United States should adopt a territorial tax system, like the great majority of developed countries.

Book Foreign Direct Investment and Development

Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment and Development written by Theodore H. Moran and published by Peterson Institute. This book was released on 2011 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this cutting-edge analysis of foreign direct investment (FDI), Moran--one of the acknowledged experts in this area--questions traditional econometric measures of foreign direct investment flows, identifies flaws in past research, elaborates on how the latest research has moved More ... into new territory, and provides a first look at what new research has uncovered. Moran concentrates on FDI in the manufacturing and assembly sector, and discusses if FDI in manufacturing raises the productivity of host country economic activities, if FDI makes the host more competitive in new sectors, and generates externalities that benefit local firms and workers. He provides important new data on the kinds of activities, types of jobs, and level of wages associated with multinational manufacturing investment. This volume dissects the market failures associated with the contemporary idea of development as selfdiscovery, and addresses the tricky question of whether to provide incentives for FDI. In addition, he provides a novel reassessment of the debate about FDI crowding-out or crowding-in domestic investment. This book provides insight and lessons for developing and developed countries, NGOs, the corporate responsibility community, and multilateral lending institutions

Book Japanese Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Trade

Download or read book Japanese Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Trade written by Mr.Tamim Bayoumi and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1997-08-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the relationship between Japanese FDI outflows, domestic and foreign fixed investment, and the exchange rate. The results indicate that aggregate FDI outflows have been driven by investment in Japan and the exchange rate, while the geographic distribution of such investment has been influenced by foreign economic conditions. We also find that FDI outflows have a temporary impact on exports but a permanent effect on imports. We find no evidence that behavior with respect to East Asia differs from that with respect to North America or Europe.
