Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In a world of increasing globalization, where political, economic and technological barriers are rapidly disappearing, the ability of the European Union and its Member States to participate in global activity is an important indicator of their performance and competitiveness. In order to remain competitive, modern day business relationships extend well beyond the traditional foreign exchange of goods and services. International trade may be complemented or substituted by producing (and often selling) goods and services in countries other than where an enterprise was first established: this approach is known as foreign direct investment (FDI). The aim of this pocketbook is to give an overview of the external dimension of the EU economy by presenting, in a compact way, the available data on trade in goods, trade in services, and foreign direct investments."--Editor.

Download or read book Essays in International Trade and Public Economics written by Margarita M. Kalamova and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 2012 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays of this book are contributions to the empirical Literature in International Trade and Public Economics. They deal with the relationship between the structure and quality of the public sector and the process of economic integration. Two of the essays add to the empirical determinants of trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) and to the numerous applications of the theory of government decentralization. Decentralization tends to discourage inward FDI and domestic trade and to increase imports and exports. A third essay focuses on the effect of governments' intangible assets - such as consumer perceptions about countries and products from these countries - on FDI. A country's nation brand is shown to have a significant and large positive effect on investment flows.

This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an understanding of how international trade and capital flows have engineered the development process in East Asia, and examines the real and potential challenges that the region is expect to encounter in the twenty-first century. It integrates four topics (i.e. capital flows, East Asia, globalization and economic development) that are at the centre of the social, political and economic debate. The text highlights the region's growing strategic importance in the twenty-first century globalizing world, where transnational corporations are playing an increasingly decisive role in the global distribution of production and trade. It blends generalised regional analyses with country-specific case studies in the world's most dynamic region. It is so well designed that each of the seventeen countries that comprise the region gets some space for discussion. Thus, the text is a valuable contribution to the social science and business literature, with a special focus on the now strategic region of East Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows started gaining traction in South Asia from the late 20th century onwards, when nations from the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) began moving away from highly controlled regimes and adopting liberal and open economic policies.In the context of surplus labour and capital scarcity faced by South Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, to varying degrees, the economic reform process has provided an opportunity to actively promote inward FDI flows, with the goal of providing the much-needed capital for the growth of this region. Several policy initiatives were undertaken to attract FDI and incentives were announced to fascinate investors, resulting in the inflow of FDI across the region.This book examines FDI inflows in SAARC nations in the light of regional policy changes in the 21st century. It investigates the relationship between trade and FDI in the region, and also provides insights into the ease of doing business in the SAARC region.

Download or read book Multinational companies Their role in and impact on international trade and investments written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe - University of Applied Sciences, course: International Economics, language: English, abstract: The main objective of this scientific paper is to define the role of Multinational Companies (MNC) in the international trading system. It is to be shown which effects the contrary trade policies free trade and protectionism have on international trade and the investment behaviour of MNC. The opportunities and risks of FDIs should be identified from the perspective of the MNCs and investment countries. The scientific paper thesis contains five chapters. Key terms and the relation between MNC and international trade will be defined in chapter two. At the beginning of chapter three, the Heckscher-Ohlin Model will be explained. Then theorems based on this international trade theory will be used to explain the cause and effects of international trade. In the fourth chapter, the different motives of free trade and protectionism and their effect on FDIs will be examined. The potential chances and risks of FDIs for the investment receiving countries and MNCs are then discussed. In the last chapter, the key findings of this paper are summarized. The paper ends with a conclusion and an outlook, where further significant research needs are addressed. Companies are forced to permanently increase their efficiency and effectiveness in all functional areas to stay competitive. In today ́s competition, it is almost impossible to avoid the international markets, especially for large enterprises. The strong internationalisation of the global economy over the past decades can be attributed to the increased volume of goods, services and technologies traded internationally. There has also been a strong increase in foreign direct investments (FDIs). However, the trend over the last decade has gone in the opposite direction, especially for developed countries. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is intended to provide a basis for free international trade, but an increasing number of national laws and regulations lead to a multitude of trade barriers. The growing use of customs and other instruments of protectionism, particularly by the industrialised countries, is one of the central unsolved problems of international trade. These measures aim to preserve national advantages at the expenses of the wealth of the global society.

Book excerpt: Quantitative Analysis of Newly Evolving Patterns of International Trade offers a variety of perspectives on new forms and developments of international trade and related activities for Japan, the United States, China, and some other important trading countries, to develop new methods and data for measuring the factor contents of emerging new modes of international trade.
