We examine the relationships between national ethical environment (NEE) and foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing and developed countries from an institutional theory perspective. Based on an NEE measure developed by Franke and Nadler (2008) and FDI data from the Ministry of Finance of Japan, we find that the relationship between the level of NEE and Japanese FDI inflow is positive for developing countries, but negative for developed countries. Our findings highlight the need to consider both transaction cost and conformity cost when studying FDI behavior, and to distinguish between developing and developed countries due to the fundamental differences in sensitivity of each cost to institutions in these two settings. We call for a refocus on institutional theory’s core purpose of understanding how organizations acquire institutional conformity without sacrificing their internal efficiency. This study also sheds new light on how FDI behaves with regard to ‘socially responsible international business’.

The aim of this paper is to empirically disentangle specific channels of technology spillovers from FDI to domestic firms. To this end, we look into the mechanisms of technology diffusion through FDI and investigate six measures of spillovers in a sample of Romanian firms for the period 1999–2007. Our results show that the position in the supply chain is essential for capturing FDI spillovers, as local suppliers enjoy productivity gains, while local clients suffer productivity losses. We also show that foreign affiliates internalise all benefits associated with supplier upgrading, thus raising concerns about the social return on technology transfer. Additionally, our approach allows us to separate horizontal spillovers into a competition effect, an imitation/demonstration effect and a labour mobility component. We find only labour mobility to act as an efficient channel for horizontal knowledge diffusion, even though its direction depends highly on human capital.

According to conventional wisdom, multinational firms undertake vertical FDI in order to take advantage of cross-border factor cost differences and source the inputs from abroad at better terms. Recent empirical findings though document that this is not always the case. We provide theoretical support to the latter by demonstrating that when there is transfer of intangible assets between a multinational’s vertically related production plants, its parent firm can engage in vertical FDI in order to improve its cross-threat and its input sourcing terms domestically and not abroad as well as in order to exploit its intangible assets in another country. We also investigate the effects of trade liberalization and the welfare consequences of vertical FDI.

This meets circumstances of a game theory, or so. Dynamics mean individual country versus world speed difference along the 1994-2015 interval, in which the 1994 stocks cumulate FDI & DIA flows since 1990, and top countries range up to an important majority of stocks amounts in the total (85-95%) and so a relatively stable percentage, on the one hand, and down to 0.2% on FDI/inflows and to 0.1% of the same total world stocks on DIA/outflows, on the other. This article below, again, will start treating (analyzing and debating) about the Asian continent.

Using a unique dataset, we examine how the foreign direct investment activities of U.S. multinational manufacturers are related to the composition of their domestic employment. The analysis is based on a dataset in which Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) firm-level data on the foreign operations of U.S. multinationals are matched with Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) establishment-level data on occupation and wage distributions. The main implication of our findings is that foreign direct investment is generally positively correlated with domestic labor demand, with automated/routine tasks representing an important exception. For firms that export a significant amount to their foreign affiliates for further processing, foreign labor in low-income countries appears to substitute for domestic labor in automated/routine tasks. Our results show that these firms tend to be younger and smaller. They do not seem to be more engaged in innovative activity at home compared to other multinational manufacturers in our sample.

This contribution to a Festschrift for Dr. SKB Asante, the leading in-house expert on matters related to investment policy-making at the United Nations Centre on Transnational Corporations, discusses a number of issues related to investment policy-making at the national and international levels these. At the national level, the focus is on policies aimed at competing for, and benefitting more from, foreign direct investment (FDI), as well as policies supporting outward FDI. At the international level, the focus is on the rise of bilateral investment treaties and the changing perspectives of developed and developing countries on the international investment regime. It discusses not only where we stand today in these areas, but it identifies also some of the challenges we face. These challenges arise from the growth of FDI, which is the culmination of the emergence of an integrated international production system established by multinational enterprises through a myriad of equity and non-equity relationships and the evolution of national and international investment policies. The growth of FDI, an integrated international production system, and the global value chains associated with it was possible because of an enabling policy framework, both at the national and international levels. The hallmarks of this framework are that countries not only allow FDI to take place, but actively seek to attract and protect it through international investment agreements, especially bilateral investment treaties.

Available evidence, though limited to the organized sector only, suggests that FDI flowing in with MNE activities or direct FIIs generate technological and market access spillovers for firms outside the core group in destination countries. We investigate the organizational link between formal and informal sectors in India and argue that the spread of internationalization is more when production outsourcing prevails between such units. Higher wage in the organized sector is a factor that breaks standard institutional barriers leading to outsourcing of production to informal units. The evidence is puzzling to the extent that foreign capital and better know-how as drivers of international business to developing countries usually relax the credit constraint facing formal sector units at the destination and cause expansion of formal units. Using a measure of technology and a panel data for a large number of industrial units in India, we show that FDI transmitted through technology spillover leads to significant increase in the gross value added for several industries located in the informal sector. The paper points out that production re-organization associated with international capital movements should provide additional insights for standard measures of internationalization of production and services.

Productivity is generally defined as the amount of output realised for a given level of inputs. The neo-classical growth theory considers productivity as a function of technology and capital accumulation. In this paper, I argue that apart from technology and capital, productivity depends on institutional factors such as property rights, incentives, transaction, and information costs. Foreign direct investment in India’s retail sector can bring in the best practices of supply-chain management and reduce transaction and information costs of input and output markets and thereby contributes to farmers’ productivity. I bring forth a few conceptual issues and qualitative empirics on this topic.

In this article we study the impact of real effective exchange rate misalignments, based on determinants, including different types of foreign capital inflows, on GDP growth in the EU. This can provide a useful contribution to understanding the causal link between inflows, real effective exchange rate disequilibria and GDP growth during both the boom and the crisis period. For this analysis, we use a panel of 27 EU countries for the period 1994–2012, with annual frequency. We find that the core countries have been mostly undervalued from the crisis onwards, while the periphery (excluding Ireland) were overvalued starting from 2003–2004, as expected. Concerning the new Member States, these are persistently overvalued for the entire time span. The results seem to be generally driven by the inflows of banking loans more than by FDIs or portfolio investments. In the second stage, we study the influence of exchange rate misalignments and volatilities on growth. We argue that the real effective exchange rate misalignments associated with the inflows have been a further cause for decline in GDP, in a long-run perspective, while they do not play a role in the short run. The exchange rate volatilities and the undervaluation dummy are not robust in affecting GDP growth, while spillovers and global factors seem to matter in all the specifications both in the short and long run.

This study treats the relationship of foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic development in Kosovo. FDI is considered as an important factor of economic growth of places in development, so rightly the question is asked: “Which is the impact of FDI inflow on economic growth of Kosovo?” This study shows the relationship in between FDI inflow and five macroeconomic indicators that have an important role in economic development of Kosovo such as: GDP, GDP per capita, GNI, Exports, and Balance Trade. The data were taken from World Bank and the statistic agency of Kosovo for 2005 to 2014 period. Pearson Correlation technique was used for empirical analysis that is realized with SPSS v. 21.0 statistical program, the results showed that there is a positive relationship in between FDI inflow and GDP growth, whereas there is a negative relationship of FDI inflow and trade balance of Kosovo. This study arguments what is necessary to be done in leading policies to attract foreign direct investment in Kosovo.
本研究探讨外国直接投资(FDI)与科索沃经济发展的关系。外国直接投资被认为是发展中地区经济增长的一个重要因素，因此人们理所当然地提出了这样一个问题:“外国直接投资流入对科索沃经济增长的影响是什么?”本研究显示了FDI流入与五个宏观经济指标之间的关系，这些指标在科索沃的经济发展中起着重要作用，如:GDP，人均GDP, GNI，出口和平衡贸易。数据取自世界银行和科索沃统计机构2005年至2014年期间的数据。运用Pearson相关技术进行实证分析，利用SPSS v. 21.0统计程序实现实证分析，结果表明FDI流入与科索沃GDP增长呈正相关，FDI流入与科索沃贸易收支呈负相关。这项研究讨论了在科索沃吸引外国直接投资的主要政策中需要做些什么。
