This paper is based on microdata originating in the first collection of country-by-country reporting (CbCR) – a new reporting tool to be filed by multinational enterprises (MNEs). It analyses the differences between CbCR and other widely used data sources of MNEs and presents the case of MNE activities in Italy. The CbCR dataset is used to understand the global distribution of MNE activities. Results show that foreign activities are mostly concentrated in high-income countries for all economic indicators. In low-income countries, MNEs activity appears to be concentrated in labour-intensive industries. Middle-income countries have a relatively higher importance in terms of tangible assets and employment opportunities than they do in terms of revenues and profits. Investment hubs have a relatively higher share in global MNEs profits than they do in global MNEs tangible assets and employment. The CbCR data can be useful for policymakers to obtain an indication on how a country is positioned in the global value chain (GVC) and its attractiveness for foreign companies.

As climate change, population growth, rising incomes and rapid urbanization increase the demand for food, the world is facing further pressure to enhance food security for all. Investment in agriculture and food systems is not only necessary but also critical. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an important source to close the funding gap that developing countries face to increase food production and agricultural productivity. Yet, it poses serious challenges on domestic populations. The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of FDI in agriculture on food security in the host country. The empirical analysis employs a land access index by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to control for differences in land governance. Using data from 56 developing countries over a 16-year period, the empirical analysis finds evidence that FDI in agriculture has an inverse effect on food security in the host country. FDI has a more favourable impact where the land governance system is better. The findings call for an imperative role to governments for tenure reforms by formalization of customary rights to enhance tenure security for a more equitable access to land. It is also essential that good monitoring and impact assessment systems are developed to ensure transparency of the processes associated with agricultural investments.
