Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henisz (management, the Wharton School, U. of Pennsylvania) offers a model of political and regulatory risk assessment for companies investing in the developing world. He argues that most of the problems with conventional political risk measures ultimately stem from their lack of focus on the political systems that they measure. He proposes the adoption of a measure that examines the feasibility of policy change. He tests the theoretical predictions offered by his measure by examining the use of local partners as a political risk mitigation mechanism. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Download or read book Nation States and the Multinational Corporation written by Nathan M. Jensen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-21 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a country attractive to foreign investors? To what extent do conditions of governance and politics matter? This book provides the most systematic exploration to date of these crucial questions at the nexus of politics and economics. Using quantitative data and interviews with investment promotion agencies, investment location consultants, political risk insurers, and decision makers at multinational corporations, Nathan Jensen arrives at a surprising conclusion: Countries may be competing for international capital, but government fiscal policy--both taxation and spending--has little impact on multinationals' investment decisions. Although government policy has a limited ability to determine patterns of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, political institutions are central to explaining why some countries are more successful in attracting international capital. First, democratic institutions lower political risks for multinational corporations. Indeed, they lead to massive amounts of foreign direct investment. Second, politically federal institutions, in contrast to fiscally federal institutions, lower political risks for multinationals and allow host countries to attract higher levels of FDI inflows. Third, the International Monetary Fund, often cited as a catalyst for promoting foreign investment, actually deters multinationals from investment in countries under IMF programs. Even after controlling for the factors that lead countries to seek IMF support, IMF agreements are associated with much lower levels of FDI inflows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political risk deters foreign direct investment (FDI) and deprives developing countries of much needed capital. However, the negative effect of political risk on FDI in the aggregate masks important variation across different types of risk and different types of multinational firms. I argue that some risks, particularly bureaucratic risk, can be effectively mitigated by firms with the right experience. This leads countries with high levels of bureaucratic risk to attract entry primarily by firms with experience managing bureaucratic in other host countries. Other risks, particularly policy risk, are more difficult to mitigate, and these risks have less effect on the average experience level of entering firms. I test this theory on confidential data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis that cover the full universe of U.S. outward foreign direct investment from 1990-2009. I find that bureaucratic risk, but not policy risk, is associated with entry by more experienced firms. Both types of risk deter investment, but one does so more selectively. By disaggregating both different political risks and different types of direct investors, we can uncover how different political risks (and therefore different institutions and policies) affect both the pattern and pace of development.

Download or read book Political Risk and the Institutional Environment for Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America written by Jörg Stosberg and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intensification of capital flows is an important characteristic of globalization. Attracting foreign direct investment is a viable way of ensuring the external financing of developing countries. Foreign direct investment flows, in turn, are determined by the decisions of multinational enterprises. One important determinant of investment of potential host countries. Political risks like expropriations, riots, revolutions or civil wars are important obstacles for investment. This book empirically analyzes the impact of political risks on foreign direct investment flows to Latin American countries. A case study of Mexico and its policy towards foreign investors offers further empirical evidence for the importance of the political environment for investment decisions of multinationals."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The role of domestic and international institutions in reducing political risks in foreign direct investment (FDI) has been well studied by extant studies. Yet, one question remains unanswered: why do some foreign investors face more problems than others in the same host country? In other words, how could some firms take greater risks than others? Three essays in this dissertation suggest that firm heterogeneity is the key to answering this question. Firms have diverse political backgrounds and they leverage that against investment risks. The first paper suggests that firms can reduce policy risks by lobbying information. Due to the possibility of costly investor-state disputes, host governments are more willing to avoid damaging the business operation of firms with the available record of lobbying the US government. The second essay finds that foreign ownership of a mine has a restraining effect on armed conflict. The possibility of home countries' military intervention discourages both insurgents and national governments to fight in the vicinity of foreign-owned mining facilities. The third paper argues that multinationals use collusive corruption to hedge political risks from protests. However, a given firms' bribery only works in a district where both senators are from the incumbent party because senators from opposition parties have incentives to increase protests against foreign investors"--Page vii.
Download or read book Measuring Political Risk written by Charlotte H. Brink and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a fresh, transparent approach encompassing new material, this invigorating volume measures political risk - for instance the risk that foreign investment might face in any country. It also demonstrates how progress or regress made in good governance initiatives as conditionalities to aid can be assessed. Governments can monitor their own policy environment(s), and take remedial action if necessary. The methodology allows for measurement of previously un-quantified 'soft' factors that add to the risks foreign investors might face, demonstrating why these factors are of importance to both risk assertive and risk averse investors. Features include: - 103 contextualized, measurable risk factors and their 411 risk factor indicators. - Guidelines to using these factors in order to perform generic macro analyses, or micro, client/project/industry-specific analyses. - Explanation of the methodology with which to comprehensively measure the probability of risk occurring in any macro or micro investment climate.

This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is comprised of nine members, two ex officio members, and other members as appointed by the President representing major departments and agencies within the federal executive branch. While the group generally has operated in relative obscurity, the proposed acquisition of commercial operations at six U.S. ports by Dubai Ports World in 2006 placed the group's operations under intense scrutiny by Members of Congress and the public. Prompted by this case, some Members of the 109th and 110th Congresses questioned the ability of Congress to exercise its oversight responsibilities given the general view that CFIUS's operations lack transparency. Other Members revisited concerns about the linkage between national security and the role of foreign investment in the U.S. economy. Some Members of Congress and others argued that the nation's security and economic concerns have changed since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and that these concerns were not being reflected sufficiently in the Committee's deliberations. In addition, anecdotal evidence seemed to indicate that the CFIUS process was not market neutral. Instead, a CFIUS investigation of an investment transaction may have been perceived by some firms and by some in the financial markets as a negative factor that added to uncertainty and may have spurred firms to engage in behavior that may not have been optimal for the economy as a whole. On July 12, 2016, Senator Charles Grassley introduced S. 3161 to include the Secretary of Agriculture as a permanent member of the CFIUS and to include the national security impact of foreign investments on agricultural assets as part of the criteria the Committee uses in deciding to recommend that the President block a foreign acquisition.
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.
