Abstract:

The basic assertion of this thesis is that policy makers' belief systems and economic institutions have to change their structures and contents as the nation's economic developmental stage is upgraded. Put differently, a state's economic performance or achievement of economic objectives will be facilitated if there is no cleavage or conflict among economic policy, economic belief systems, and economic institutions. This means that the utility of the developmental state is valid until a nation's economy is in a take-off position. Persistent developmentalism after this stage will result in developmentalism losing its validity and becoming a main obstacle for further economic development. At this time, more liberalised economic policies which are not only supported by changed belief systems and institutions but also compatible with the neo-liberalising international political economy are needed. In other words, this thesis does not seek to answer the question 'which is the better strategy for economic development between developmentalism and neo-liberalism?' but emphasises the importance of the proper timing of transition from developmentalism to a liberalised and deregulated economy which is compatible with a mature civil society and the neo-liberalising international political economy.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to detennine what constitutes desirable Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policies for the state in the age of globalisation. The study begins with the realistic assumption that FDI has variable effects on host economies, and that multinational corporations (MNCs) are fundamentally national finns doing business internationally. This assessment of FDI reflects the needs of government efforts to increase their bargaining power vis-a-vis MNCs in order to maximise the positive effects of FDI while minimising its negative effects. Based on this view, I develop a theoretical framework, namely the N eo Bargaining Model (NBM) , and identify the factors that have an impact on government bargaining power. The model is applied to the Korean state and produces the following findings that: (1) the bargaining power of the Korean state has diminished constantly over time; (2) the Korean state's bargaining power has been affected by internal factors (the decline of the developmental state) and external factors (the progress of globalisation); and (3) the bargaining power of the state affects its bargaining outcomes. Finally, these findings enabled me to argue that: (1) the state must have strong bargaining power in order to attain more beneficial effects and less hannful consequences from the MNCs; (2) in order to increase the bargaining power of the state, an active role of the state in the market is required; and (3) lastly, the NBM suggests ways for the state to increase its bargaining power, which are the key for successful FDI policy in the global era.

Abstract:

There is increasing inflows of FDI into developing economies; yet, systematic studies on determinants of FDI in developing economies are scarce. Against this backdrop, this study examined three key issues nan1ely; the role of government, the impact of institutions and macroeconomic factors on inward FDI in Nigeria. The study used annual data collected from CBN, UNCTAD, World Bank and PRS group. To achieve the first objective, the study grouped the government investment policy changes adopted over the period 1962- 2012 into three major phases: limited promotion (1962- 1969), restrictive practice (1970-1985) and liberal policies and reform phases (1986- 2012). Impact and implications of government foreign investment policies on trends of FDI inflows into Nigeria was examined using trend analysis. The study found that annual growth rate of total inward FDI was highest during the liberal policy and reform phase, and was least during the restrictive practice phase. The study also found that annual growth rate of inward FDI was: higher in the oil sector than in the non-oil sector during the SAP era (1986-1994), higher in the non-oil sector than in the oil sector after NIPC reform (1995- 2012), and annual growth rate of total inward FDI was higher during the SAP era (1986- 1994) than after the NIPC reform (1995- 201 2). The study used CCR and FMOLS regressions models to analyse the second and third objectives and showed that political instability, easing bureaucratic impediments, democratic accountability, government expenditure, trade openness and market size had positive and significant impact on inward FDI in Nigeria. Finding on interest rate was inconclusive and exchange rates have negative and significant impact on inward FDI in Nigeria. However, high inflation has a negative and insignificant impact on inward FDI while investment risks have positive and insignificant impact on inward FDI in Nigeria.

Abstract:

This chapter assesses the effects of "Eastern" EU-enlargement on the race for FDI and the policy implications. We start from the proposition that the evolving production patterns of incumbent and new member states determine the need for and the justification of location policy (LP) and FDI promotion policy (FDI-PP). On the basis of empirical production patterns, it is argued that while the specialisation outcome dominates in the short run, the convergence scenario is more likely to prevail in the medium term. Therefore, old and new EU-members will compete increasingly for the same type of FDI. How EU-enlargement per se affects the spatial distribution of inward FDI is described next. The role of FDI-PPs and LPs in an enlarged EU are discussed on the basis of the convergence outcome. Since the new economics of location competition and of FDI-promotion cast serious doubt on the economic justification and effectiveness of FDI-PP, the chapter concludes with a basic dilemma in the race for FDI: namely, the greater ineffectiveness of FDI incentives in the Single Market and fewer possibilities for differentiation of LPs. The latter is due to harmonisation pressures, which calls for innovative policy strategies by central and regional authorities.

Abstract:

One of the specific characteristics of Austrian Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) abroad is that a large part is carried out by firms, which themselves are affiliates of foreign Multinational Enterprises (MNEs). Such investment is termed indirect FDI in order to distinguish it from direct FDI, made by Austrian-owned firms. The objective of this paper is to analyse, whether the relatively better domestic employment performance of domestic firms (direct FDI) compared to foreign-owned firms (indirect FDI) can be linked to FDI abroad. Based on an analysis of the sales and trade structure of a sample of Austrian investors in Central and East European Countries (CEECs), this paper tests the hypothesis that these two groups of investors have different motives to invest in CEECs and therefore their activities in CEECs differ by type (sales affiliate, production abroad) and consequently the employment effects at home. Regression results confirm that direct FDI are more strongly determined by labour costs and exhibit an employment pattern related to a deeper international division of labour (including production), while indirect FDI is based relatively more on market seeking investment. Empirical results also confirm that employment effects at home differ. The positive (negative) effect of one additional unit of parent (affiliate) sales on domestic employment for indirect FDI compared to direct FDI is larger (smaller). The - despite this empirical fact - relatively better domestic employment performance of direct FDI is explained by their superior sales performance, resulting from restructuring their international division of labour.

Abstract:

Foreign direct investment (FDI) was unknown to Chinese people before the opening policy in 1979, but since then China's economy has been surging ahead in the past twenty eight years. As one aspect of the FDI policy, I focused on the corporate taxation field to be my research interest, and the topic of my thesis. In the thesis, the reader will learn how FDI developed in China and degree of FDI development. Also, I provide the reader with China's tax system and policy-oriented in as much detail as possible, most of which is the tax incentive policy towards the FDI in China. However, the policies and incentives raise some issues. As the result of offering FDI tax preference, Chinese government tax revenue as a percentage of GDP has been declining steadily. Problems such as tax avoidance and evasion, and local "fake" FDI entities are getting serious. The new Corporate Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China (CIT Law) was passed by the PRC National People's Congress on March 16 2007 and will take effect on January 2008. When China entered into the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, compliance with the general rules required China improve its tax system as soon as possible. The CIT law section in the thesis includes the policy-changing behind the legislation and expected influence on the FDI in China in the future. As a result of the changes to be brought about by the CIT Law, foreign and domestic business in China must adapt to the new tax regime, and I offer some recommendations in that regard.

Este trabalho analisa o efeito da polÃtica industrial do CearÃ, apoiada pelo Fundo de Desenvolvimento Industrial - FDI e instrumentalizada pelo Programa de Incentivo ao Desenvolvimento Industrial na receita tributÃria de ICMS. O objetivo principal da pesquisa Ã aplicar um modelo economÃtrico com dados em painel que comprove o efeito da renÃncia fiscal na receita de ICMS do segmento industrial, bem como avaliar o comportamento da elasticidade da receita, relativamente Ã Margem de Valor Agregado (MVA), praticada pelos participantes das setoriais de Alimento, Bebida, CalÃado e TÃxtil. A evidÃncia empÃrica se baseia em dados produzidos em dois momentos, antes e apÃs a sua concessÃo para o mesmo conjunto de setores. Os resultados do modelo economÃtrico validaram a sua especificaÃÃo, comprovando, assim, o efeito nÃo uniforme do FDI na receita de cada setorial, conforme a magnitude de sua elasticidade. Ademais, as estimativas comprovaram a natureza das elasticidades das setoriais: Alimento - inelÃstica; Bebida e TÃxtil - elÃstica. Quanto Ã eficÃcia da polÃtica industrial para o desenvolvimento econÃmico regional conclui-se que CalÃado Ã a Ãnica setorial cuja renÃncia fiscal foi plenamente compensada pela expansÃo da base tributÃria de sua cadeia produtiva.
This study examines the effect of industrial policy of CearÃ, supported by the Industrial Development Fund and exploited by the Program for Encouragement of Industrial Development in tax revenues of ICMS. It is applied an econometric model with panel data to estimate the effect of the tax waiver on ICMS revenue of the industrial segment as well as to evaluate the behavior of the elasticity of revenue, for the Margin Value Added (MVA), practiced by the participants of the sector of Food, Beverage, Footwear and Textile. The empirical evidence is based on data produced on two occasions, before and after the implementation of tax benefits for the same set of industries. The results validated the specification of the model, which demonstrated that the effect of FDI is not uniform in revenue for all sectors. According to the magnitude of the elasticities, there are statistical evidences that such effects are inelastic for the Food sector, elastic for Beverage and Textile sectors, but inconclusive for Footwear sector. As for the effectiveness of industrial policy for regional economic development: Footwear is the only sector whose tax waiver was fully compensated by the expansion of tax base of the production chain.

Abstract:

This thesis examines Chinese foreign direct investments in Sub-Saharan Africa and their influence on Chinese foreign policy on the continent between the years 2004 and 2010. It is often believed that oil and raw materials are the principal determinants of Chinese investments in Africa. However, this research suggests that even though there exists strong correlation between the existence of reserves of raw materials and FDI distribution, such motivation is not the only one. Pragmatism, manifested by the Chinese government in FDI allocation, can lead the People's Republic to invest in controversial countries with bad governance like Sudan. China is then forced to keep closer relations with such countries and thus promote their stability to protect its investments. Tools of such efforts include foreign policy, closer cooperation on multilateral level, which includes establishment of Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, and foreign aid.

Abstract:

Since China entered WTO, the multinational corporations (MNC) increased the foreign direct investment (FDI) in Chinese market because China is famous for its huge market volume and low labor cost. However, the knowledge of Chinese market is still limited. This paper analyses the determinants of automotive MNC's FDI choice made in Chinese market based on the study of Chinese FDI environment and the investment behavior of Swedish firms. The determinants are tested through three variables: industry development, cultural distance and the government policy. In this thesis, data related to FDI in automotive industry is collected mainly from 13 provinces or municipalities. The results show that: (1) The regions with larger market size will attract more FDI; (2) The larger cultural distance will create more obstacles when MNCs invest, thus has the negative impacts on FDI choices; (3) MNCs will give priority to those areas with lower tax burden. Besides, this thesis also describes the detailed cultural distance at firm level between China and Sweden based on the interview with a Swedish firm. The results suggest Swedish firms need to focus more on the partner selection and management adaption when investing in Chinese market.

Magister Legum - LLM
This thesis focuses on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Angola and on constraints encountered by investors. It discusses the new Investment Law, resulting from a comprehensive law reform in 2003, as well as investment incentives destined to attract FDI into the territory, furthermore: the legal definitions of FDI and of “Investor”; the Angolan private international law; the main constraints (investment barriers) encountered by investors, after and before entering the Angolan territory; the legal protection afforded to investors, and some examples of FDI and their implications in Angola. The author also analyses investment and intra-trade within the Sub-Saharan region, Angola under modes 3 and 4 of GATS, and other aspects of foreign (as well as private) investment, including on what has been done and what should still be achieved under the SADC Trade, Finance and Investment Protocol from 2005 onwards. This analysis, it is hoped, will contribute to the better understanding of the implications and benefits of FDI in Angola, considering the recent increase of inflows of FDI, as well, as to what extent and how the Government should continue to control and direct, as well as encourage FDI. To conclude, the impact (positive -negative) of FDI in the Angolan society, economy and for the environment will be discussed. Together with the chapters describing the legal framework for FDI, these parts are intended to provide a better insight into the legal, economic and social background for investing and for doing business in Angola, and what type of protection investors can expect from the country, whilst information and academic materials on this subject matter continue to be scarce and difficult to access.

Abstract:

Cette thèse comprend trois articles sur la politique publique, dont l'objectif est de mieux comprendre le mécanisme économique derrière les politiques publiques. Le chapitre 2 concerne le budget public, le transfert implicite et les différences de productivité. Nous avons créé un modèle avec deux régions asymétriques, en supposant que la productivité est différente, la population est imparfaitement mobile et le capital est parfaitement mobile à travers les régions. Il y a également un planificateur central, qui utilise les taxes pour fournir des biens publics dans chaque région. Ensuite, nous passons à un modèle où les différences de niveaux de productivité sont générées par une externalité d'agglomération. Chapitre 3 étend le modèle précèdent à un cadre décentralisé avec la concurrence fiscale. Il y a deux régions qui prennent les décisions politiques fondées sur le bien-être de ses propres habitants. Cette partie met l'accent sur la relation entre la collecte des recettes publiques et l’offre des biens publics dans le cas d’avoir une concurrence fiscale. Le résultat est comparé avec le cas où il y a un planificateur central. Le chapitre 4 porte sur la relation entre des biens publics et des investissements directs étrangers (IDE). En supposant que les biens publics peuvent entrer dans le processus de production et d'influencer la fonction de production, nous regardons la décomposition de l’effet des biens publics sur les flux d’IDE et essayons de trouver les déterminant économiques qui peuvent influencer ces effets
This dissertation includes three essays on public policy, the aim of which is to better understand the economic mechanism behind the public policies. Chapter 2 works on public budget, implicit transfer and productivity differences. We set up a model with two asymmetric regions, differing in productivity, population being imperfectly mobile across regions while capital is perfectly mobile. A single utilitarian central authority uses taxes for providing public goods in each region. Then we move to a model when differences in productivity levels are generated by an agglomeration externality. Chapter 3 extends the model to a decentralized setting with fiscal competition. There are two jurisdictions who make the policy decisions based on the welfare of its own natives. This part focusses on the relationship between public revenue collection and public goods supply in the case of fiscal competition and is compared to the conclusion in the central planner case. Chapter 4 focuses on the relationship between public inputs and foreign direct investments (FDI). We look into the decompositions of the effect of public inputs over FDI flows and try to determine the important economy characters that can influence those effects under the assumption that the public goods can enter into the production process and influence the production function

Abstract:

Sri Lanka is a developing country that is currently on the recovery path from 30 years of civil war. With the conclusion of hostilities in 2009, one of the main priorities of the Sri Lankan government has been to focus on major infrastructure improvements to boost its economic development. It has huge external debt stocks and low gross domestic savings. Sri Lanka considers attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows as one of the strategies for sourcing funding for its major infrastructure projects, as it has been an important source of external financing for Sri Lanka since the introduction of the open economic policy in 1977. Therefore, understanding the role of FDI in the Sri Lankan economy is crucial for academic researchers and policy makers in the government and private sectors. A review of previous research studies on FDI in Sri Lanka clearly shows that there is a lack of knowledge relating to FDI and its effects on the Sri Lankan economy. Therefore, the main focus of the thesis is to examine the impact of FDI on the Sri Lankan economy as a whole, as well as on the individual sectors of the Sri Lankan economy.

Thesis (MDF)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The traction of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been viewed as a viable strategy for growing the economy and for solving such challenges as unemployment, the acquire skills and technology transfer. Many developing economies have implemented a number of macro-economic policies with the aim of boosting their economies. South Africa has, similarly, implemented a range of policies – including incentives aimed at attracting FDI. This study analyses the inward trends of FDI for South Africa and the key determinants of FDI. The study uses as variables annual key economic indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP), government size (GOVSIZ), export/import trade, the exchange rate, inflation and the interest rate, for the period 1970 to 2013. The study reviews global FDI trends and their geographic distribution as well as FDI trends in Africa and in key sectors, including FDI trends and FDI policy in South Africa. The literature review analyses the fundamental theories of international trade and foreign investment. A number of empirical researches indicate that factors such as skilled labour, infrastructure, financial development, political stability, market size, natural resources and better economic management (comparatively speaking) are key determinants for FDI. Following the theoretical review, the formulation of an empirical model to estimate the empirical determinants of South African FDI is discussed. The use of Johansen cointegration and the vector error correction model (VECM) framework is described. The discussion of cointegration analysis includes the use of impulse response and decomposition analysis to establish the long- and short-run determinants of FDI in South Africa. The results from the trend analysis showed that South Africa is still performing poorly in terms of receiving FDI when compared to other developing countries in regions such as Latin America and South Asia. The information and communications technology (ICT) and financial services sector are currently the major recipient of FDI, followed by manufacturing and mining. The USA, followed by the UK, are the primary sources of FDI in South Africa. The empirical results showed that FDI, GDP, GOVSIZ, trade, inflation, exchange and return on credit were long-run determinants. The VECM results revealed that GDP, GOVSIZ, trade openness and return on credit tend to have a positive impact on FDI, whereas the exchange rate and inflation have a negative impact on it.

Abstract:

This research aims to investigate the development approaches, operational experiences, and market influences of foreign invested travel service (FITS) companies, including travel agencies and tour operators, in China in the opening decade (1998-2007) of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the industry. It also examines the Chinese business environment for the development of the FITS sector in the country. The investigation was conducted through some focused aspects, including different roles of three major locations; the setup and licensing process in the FITS sector; the FITSs’ original countries and relative features; their ownership and management structures; their major target markets and profitability; the FITS’s HR strategies on the local employment; the relationships between the FITS sector and the indigenous services, and the overall environment, as well as the opportunities and challenges for the sector’s development in China. The research focuses on three locations, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong province which host almost all the FITS companies (27 registered in total) in China in the decade. The methodology combines the study of both primary and secondary data, with interviews being undertaken with the FITSs (29 formal interviews with 14 FITSs) and a questionnaire survey towards 150 Chinese travel services in the locations. Given the understanding of existing literature on the travel trade business, FDI, China’s economic and political foundations, and the opening of the Chinese tourism industry, the thesis argues that the development of the FITS sector in China was substantially constrained and shaped by the protectionist policies of the Chinese government in the first opening decade. The government’s strong power through policies and SOEs is also one of the most considerable challenges for FITSs in China. However, the FITS companies were not passive actors in this situation, but developed a range of strategies in response to the changing regulatory framework, which effectively shaped a rapidly emerging sector and its relations with endogenous companies. The research is important also because there are positive opportunities in the country for the future development of the FITS sector, in response to anticipated further opening of the market.

Abstract:

Nigeria is rich country in terms of natural resources, It has one of Africa's largest economy, having being endowed with massive natural, human, renewable and non-renewable resources. With a population of about 160 million people which creates a large market for goods and services, rich soil suitable for commercial agriculture, deposits of natural resources including crude-oil, natural-gas, tin, and rock-salt, and cash crops including cocoa, kola-nut, cotton, groundnut and timber, Nigeria has the potential of being one of the largest economy globally and the political hegemony in Africa.1 However, the country has not been able to achieve sustainable development as a result of the deplorable state of infrastructure. Nigeria is confronted with the problem of immense infrastructure deficit which adversely affect national income, cost of production and distribution of goods and services, reduces Foreign Direct Investment(FDI), and result in poverty, unemployment, frequent youth unrest and fall in the general living standards.2 The poor state of infrastructure assets in the country is traceable primarily to the neglect by government and poor maintenance during the transition period from military rule to civilian administration. In an attempt to recover from the infrastructure decay, privatization was commenced in the late 90s through to the 21st century. Yet, there was no commendable improvements as the quality of public services dropped continuously and most of the enterprises were eventually wounded up as a result of corruption, poor maintenance and lack of skilled expertise.3 Furthermore, as a result of budget deficit caused by contraction in fiscal space, and continuous increase in demand for public services which correlates with population growth and rural-urban migration, public financing cannot facilitate bridging of the infrastructure gap. Also, having realized the success of Public Private Partnership (PPP) in other climes, government adopted PPP in 2005 to aid transition of the state of national infrastructure through private involvement in infrastructure financing. Unfortunately, for well over one decade of adopting PPP, Nigeria has not witnessed any commendable changes in her infrastructure assets. The poor performance of PPP in country has been traced to several factors including corruption, lack of transparency, and undue political interference. Central to the factors is the problem of regulatory deficit.4 Consequently, this study will examine the Nigerian PPP legal and regulatory framework to ascertain the problems responsible for the inability of the infrastructure financing technique to facilitate sustainable development through successful infrastructure projects.

Abstract:

Promoting economic diversity is important for states reliant on natural resources as the major source of economic development. Many of these states suffer from the Dutch disease leading to negative effects, which hinders economic diversification. One of the ways to reduce dependency on national resources is to encourage Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows, which aids diversification by the transfer of technology, the creation of new employment opportunities, and the adoption of modern management practices. The Gulf Council Cooperation (GCC) countries recognised the necessity and benefits of FDI as an aid to economic diversification; it seems, however, that Kuwait is lagging behind in this endeavour. The government of Kuwait has engaged in a series of policy measures to induce Multinational Companies (MNCs) to invest in Kuwait, but the results, thus far, have been disappointing. The formal and informal institutions interact in a variety of ways. However, ineffective formal rules can create different outcomes; particularly, in the presence of strong informal institutions. In such a case, formal rules and procedures are not enforced systematically, that is, enabling actors who are involved in the policy process to ignore or violate them, which subsequently results in a failure to attract inward FDI to a host country. Thus, this study investigates the reasons behind this failure by examining the role of formal and informal institutions on FDI policy and on decisions on whether to grant FDI licences by means of using a New Institutional Economics (NIE) approach. The conceptual framework is used as a guide for an inquiry into the subject of study by constructing a category of intellectual scaffolding, which would provide a coherent structure (Schlager, 2007). The conceptual framework in this study systematically organises the investigation into how a MNC examines a potential investment location by dividing the host country assessments into four distinct 'stages'. When systematically conducted, the respective approach is grounded in the existing literature, which provides theories regarding the behaviour of MNCs in relation to their decision-making processes for considering locations for their FDI projects. The research questions derived from the conceptual framework are answered using a mixed methods research approach that uses three sets of data survey, semi-structured interviews, and secondary data. Firstly, the findings show that almost that all MNCs in the Gulf region have a limited awareness regarding investment opportunities in Kuwait, FDI laws and regulations. Secondly, the findings reveal a number of attractive and unattractive locations, and institutional factors of Kuwait. Finally, it is discovered that the high rejection rate of FDI applications is linked to unsuccessful policy implementation, which is a result of interaction of both formal and informal institutions in Kuwait. Subsequently, the results are utilised to make a number of recommendations for government policy makers, administrators, and for MNCs regarding how to improve FDI inflows into Kuwait. The results are also used to contribute towards the international business literature concerning the institution based view of FDI, and for government policy connected to attracting FDI.

Abstract:

Sweden’s central bank implemented a negative interest rate policy (NIRP) in 2015, one year after adopting a zero-interest rate policy. Due to the monetary policy’s untested framework,experts are divided on the effectiveness of such a policy as well as its fortitude when faced with an economic recession. The lack of research on how the interest rate affects various economic metrics has left ample room for analysis and discussion on the subject. The aim ofthis thesis is to analyze how Sweden’s monetary policy has affected the flow of foreign directinvestments (FDI). Specifically, the paper will be focused on discovering the effect of theRiksbank’s negative repo rate policy on net FDI inflows between 2006 and 2017. Our quantitative analysis found no significant relationship between Sweden’s repo rate and itsFDI inflows. However, significance was found in the variables exchange rate, research and development expenditures, corporate taxes, and wages.

Abstract:

Crude oil can attract a lot of investments and development into a country but when not managed well can as well cause a lot of destruction and conflict. Like fire, crude oil is a good servant but can be a bad master too depending on how it is handled. Using Dunning‟s eclectic paradigm, a positive relationship between foreign direct investment and locational attraction was established. Of the two components within the locational attraction, natural resource attracts more foreign direct investment than market size in the case of Africa. It was established through our case study of Angola that oil attracts foreign direct investment because oil is a location attraction which attracts foreign firms. These investments on the other hand contribute to the productive capacity of the receiving country thus stimulating economic development. However, the availability of natural resources (oil) and its ability to attract foreign investment does not guarantee economic development. The establishment of appropriate institutions, mechanisms and policies would ensure efficient use of oil revenue for sustained economic growth. We identified vital policy options (the Fund mechanism and spending rule) available to Ghana , with inference from Norway, which could help evade the „Dutch Disease‟. Oil production could thus attract more foreign direct investment and contribute to the economic development of Ghana only on condition that appropriate oil revenue management policies are implemented.

Full text

Abstract:

Previous studies have discounted important factors and indirect channels that might contribute to business cycle synchronization (BSC) in the EU. We estimate the effects of market integration and economic policy coordination on bilateral business cycle correlations over the period 1995-2012 using a simultaneous equations model that takes into accounts both the endogenous relationships and unveils direct and indirect effects. The results suggest that (i) trade and FDI have a pronounced positive effect on BCS, particularly between incumbent and new EU members. (ii) Rising specialization does not decouple business cycles. (iii) The decline of income disparities in EU27 contributes to BCS, as converging countries develop stronger trade and FDI linkages. (iv) There is strong evidence that poor fiscal discipline of EU members is a major impediment of business cycle synchronization. (v) The same argument holds true for exchange rate fluctuations that hinder BCS, particularly in EU15. Since BCS is a fundamental prerequisite and objective in an effective monetary union, the EU has to promote market integration and strengthen the common setting of economic policies.

Abstract:

This Bachelor thesis focuses on examining the Ghanaian state's policies regarding inward Foreign Direct Investments and furthermore the policy implementation to attract and receive FDI, the question asked is What policy choices have been implemented by Ghana to attract Chinese FDI? This thesis employs a single case study design with a qualitative approach as it seeks to draw upon Liberal IPE and RAM to understand the policy choices in attracting FDI, more specifically how Ghana has shaped their policies. When conducting the analysis, the thesis assembles documents, both primary and secondary data to be able to answer the research question. The documents used for gathering data is from Ghana's government as well as governmental organisations, governmental policies and official statistics to peer reviewed articles and organisational data. This enables the thesis to find empirical evidence to support the aims of the conducted research. Moreover, secondary data will be used to situate, contextualize and present the findings. The main problem seen is how the policy behaviour of governments is conducted to receive FDI in this trudge. The solution to the problem is presented to be the policy decision taken to open markets and welcoming Foreign Direct Investment, through reforms aimed at both domestic companies and market as well as to the global markets and actors.

Abstract:

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a key option for economic growth in most, if not all, developing countries. However, not all developing countries are equally open to foreign investment. Some restrict foreign equity, while others encourage multinational corporations to enter their markets. Because FDI involves outsiders entering national markets and profits, it is very political. FDI can bring economic benefits, such as jobs and new technology, but it may also entail economic costs, such as increased competition for national businesses. FDI may also bring political costs, as governments that open to foreign equity may see a popular backlash. Most governments have policies to control FDI's entry into their markets. These policies have been inadequately explored in quantitative studies of FDI because of a lack of available data. This study seeks to rectify that problem by introducing a new set of data: The Foreign Equity Index. I develop a theory and model of FDI in developing countries framed by the logic of two-level games. FDI requires agreement between developing states and international firms, and therefore agreements are reached with influence from domestic-level political and economic factors, as well as international-level factors. FDI policies are an indication of developing countries win-sets, or range of agreements they are willing to accept when dealing with foreign multinational corporations. I test this theory quantitatively using the Foreign Equity Index, which covers 55 developing countries from 1976-2004. I first estimate the international and domestic factors that influence the degree of openness to FDI indicated by FDI equity policies in developing countries. I then test the effect these policies have on FDI inflows. I find that both domestic and international factors affect developing countriesâ€™ FDI policies, and in turn, policies are a significant factor determining the flow of FDI into national markets. I also explore the ways in which FDI policies have played a role in economic development strategies of El Salvador and Nicaragua. This research and the Foreign Equity Index should aid in a better understanding of foreign direct investment and growth in developing countries in general.

Abstract:

Being non-renewable source of energy, oil maintains the largest contributor to the energy mix of all counties in the world. Consequently, oil-refining industry is a field of particular concern for the governments and society. This work focuses on oil-refining industry in the countries of Eastern and Central Europe. This topic is very sensitive for CEE counties due to continuously rising energy prices, vulnerability of the supply security and current EC regulations concerning emissions trade and common environment policy. This thesis aims to answer to question what will happen to the industry in CEE counties after implication of new EC regulations and development of the renewable sources of energy. For this purpose, SWOT analysis of the industry in different counties was performed, highlighting major strengths and potential threats. Further analysis describes major mergers and acquisitions in the industry, FDI and current problems of trade imbalance. Particular attention is given to the security of supply and dangerous dependency on the crude oil imports. The results show that some EC policies and regulations could be potentially perilous for the counties which have large crude reserves and developed oil-refining and petrochemical industry, influencing such factors as cost of production and competitiveness of the product in the market. However, further development of renewable sources is often the only option available for the counties with no fossil fuel reserves and poor developed refining infrastructure, aimed to eliminate ever-increasing energy dependency.

Chronic poverty, stagnant transitions towards democracy and a free-market economy, ecological ruin, authoritarian leaders, and ethnic conflict are but a few of the conditions preventing the stabilization and development of Central Asia. Regional stability will continue to be elusive as long as each of the countries in Central Asia faces internal development challenges. This thesis examines the U.S. relationship with Uzbekistan, the strongest of the Central Asian states, to determine what assistance the U.S. could provide to help Uzbekistan in overcoming its internal developmental problems. I argue that the U.S. must shift from the current policy of focusing on rapid, measurable democratic reform and become a determined partner in the process. Using insurgency theory to understand the situation in Uzbekistan, I propose that the U.S. foreign internal defense (FID) framework, presented in Joint Publication 3-07.1, provides the tools necessary to secure U.S. interests in Uzbekistan, assist Uzbekistan with its most pressing concern, and establish the basis for the development of a responsible, democratic government.

Abstract:

Throughout the 20th century, American farmlands, agricultural policy, and diets have seen dramatic transformations. The number of farms in America has decreased, but the average size of farms has increased. These larger farms are increasingly more industrialized and produce a short list of profitable, subsidized commodity crops. Similarly, changes in the American diet throughout the 20th and 21st centuries have reflected these shifts in the landscape of American farmland. Simultaneous to the evolution of American farms was an increase in federal involvement in American agriculture through policy that seems to encourage these trends. Although separating out the causes from the effects can be difficult, this paper attempts to understand the role that policy has played in a changing American farmland, the players behind American food and agricultural policy, and the implications these changes have had on the American diet.

Abstract:

The health care industry’s involvement with biosimilar policies suggests that building coalitions and reducing opposition are critical factors for interest group success. As government decision-makers wrestle with how to handle a perplexing category of prescription drugs, companies and patient groups alike receive ample opportunities to contribute to the policymaking process. When stakeholders in the biosimilar arena – including manufacturers, physicians, and patients – unite, we see that the United States government takes steps toward fixing the policy problem. This occurred most recently with policies about biosimilar drug coverage under Medicare Part D and reimbursement under Medicare Part B. In both cases, stakeholders took a united stance and consequently faced no opposition. On the contrary, internal industry disputes between brand and biosimilar manufacturers about patent exclusivity laws and interchangeability rules revealed the nuances of biosimilar policy and the challenge that regulators face when they receive mixed messages. Across all of their efforts, biosimilar stakeholders pursued numerous strategies which may have contributed to their successes. They focused on niche issues and used their lobbying expertise to actively submit comments, testify in hearings, and meet with government officials; however, the differentiating tactic between the industry’s successes and failures was whether they formed coalitions. By coming together, stakeholders lowered their chances of facing opposition. A closer analysis of the politics of biosimilars illustrates that when they present a united front to lawmakers, interest groups reduce the likelihood of opposition and successfully influence policy change.

Abstract:

Since September 11, 2001, money and resources have been allocated at unprecedented levels in order to prevent future attacks on the United States. In the interest of preventing a similar type of incident, counterterrorism initiatives were funded using public funds with little or no oversight as to measuring the effectiveness of these programs. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if there was a statistically significant difference in the dependent variable - the level of awareness of participants (the ability to identify terrorism threats) who attended counterterrorism training that was solely lecture based and one that combined both lecture and demonstration. Three theoretical frameworks provided the foundation for this study: The organizational knowledge creation theory, adult learning theory and the experiential learning theory. The Solomon four-group design was employed using 412 test subjects who attended the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Improvised Explosives Familiarization/Chemical Industry Outreach Workshop . The results of a factorial ANOVA revealed no statistically significant difference in posttest scores between the inexpensive lecture and the more expensive lecture and demonstrations methodologies; however, the results from the paired t test with a p < .001 did demonstrate cost-effectiveness with an average increase of 14 points in the level of awareness from pre- to posttest. The positive social change implications stemming from this study include recommendations to identify objective measures for program effectiveness in all government programs in compliance with the Administrative Procedures Act of 1981. If followed such actions would demonstrate good governance and are likely to increase the public's trust.

The relationship between Brazil and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) holds, asignificant amount of accumulated experience, and political clashes overeconomic development models that have raised permanently, the update of the national debates regarding the positioning of the country in their international relations. To this end, the Brazilian foreign policy, faced with new dilemmas at the end of World War II, was rearticulated in his paper, integration and performance inInternational Economics and Financial Macroeconomics during the formation ofthe Bretton Woods institutions. Roads were built for the relationship between Brazil and the international financial institutions in the postwar period. In this sense, the Bank of Brazil, the person had new facilities for technical visits for the exchange of international financial transactions. And a special department was created in the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Department of Financial Policy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DPF-MRE), aimed at advising the Executive and the Finance Ministry. Peremptorily, the DPF producedstrategic lines of action in multilateral environment, in response to ongoing financial globalization. The job monitor that records produced by the DPF, awareof the relationship between the Brazilian authorities in the IMF in financial strife in the second half of the twentieth century. Empirically, the documentation obtainedby the Historical Archives of the Foreign Ministry, jointly deal with the literaturediscussions, criticisms and contributions of the authors and the subject matter.The narrative cycle through policy formulation and discussions that led to the structuring of an external financial policy for international development
A relação do Brasil com o Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI) guarda, uma expressiva quantidade de experiências acumuladas, bem como embates políticos sobre os modelos de desenvolvimento econômico que, suscitaram, permanentemente, a atualização dos debates nacionais no que diz respeito ao posicionamento do país nas suas relações internacionais. Para tanto, a política externa brasileira, diante de novos dilemas, ao término da Segunda Guerra Mundial, foi rearticulada em seu papel, inserção e atuação na Economia Internacional e Macroeconomia Financeira durante o período de formação das instituições de Bretton Woods. Caminhos foram construídos para a relação do Brasil com os organismos financeiros internacionais neste período de pósguerra. Nesse sentido, o Banco do Brasil, dispôs de novas instalações para as visitas técnicas internacionais para o intercâmbio das operações financeiras. E um departamento específico foi criado pela Secretaria de Estado das Relações Exteriores, o Departamento de Política Financeira do Ministério das Relações Exteriores (DPF-MRE), com o objetivo de assessoramento do Poder Executivo e Ministério da Fazenda. Peremptoriamente, o DPF-MRE produziu linhas de atuação estratégica em ambiente multilateral, em resposta a Globalização Financeira em curso. O trabalho acompanhará os registros produzidos pelo DPF que, dão conta do relacionamento de autoridades brasileiras no FMI, em contendas financeiras na segunda metade do século XX. Empiricamente, a documentação obtida no Arquivo Histórico do Itamaraty, em conjunto a literatura tratará as discussões, críticas e contribuições dos autores ao tema e assunto. A narrativa percorrerá as formulações políticas e as discussões que levaram a estruturação de uma política externa financeira para o desenvolvimento internacional
