Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of ensuring a safety level the investment attractiveness of the world countries economy in the polystructural space of foreign direct investments. In the context of the implementation of investment policy and factors in the field of international investment, an optimization model of the investment attractiveness of the national economy has been developed. The aggregate factors of the investment attractiveness index, which characterize the investment climate, investment activity and the state of economic development of the country, are highlighted. A methodical approach is presented to determine the synergistic impact of foreign direct investment on the country's investment attractiveness indicator. The criteria of normalization of investment attractiveness of the economy of the country by indicators of macroeconomic, monetary and currency status, which are formalized by indicators-stimulators, destimulators and interaction of bilateral boundary constraints are proposed. The criteria of identification of risks and threats of safe and dangerous state of development of the economy of the countries by the methods of prognostic extrapolation of foreign direct investment are taken into account. A comparative assessment of global foreign direct investment flows and global GDP, the value of net sales of cross-border mergers and acquisitions was made. The structure of foreign direct investment by regions of the countries of the world is considered, taking into account their external reserves of investment potential. The indicators of investment attractiveness of the Ukrainian economy and its cooperation with EU countries in terms of the volume of inflow and direct investments are presented. The scenarios for the growth of foreign direct investments in the polystructural space of the world and developing countries are proposed.

The economic development of the regions is determined by well prospering enterprises functioning in their area, including those with foreign capital. The tendency of foreign investors to starting a business in a given region of the country can be determined by the level of investment attractiveness, which is influenced by a lot of location factors. Therefore, it is important to examine the correlation between the level of investment attractiveness and the level of entrepreneurship in each region. The main purpose of the paper was to diagnose the relationship between the spatial structure of foreign-capital enterprises and the level of investment attractiveness of the regions. The analysis of interdependencies between variables was conducted for 16 Polish voivodships characterized by diversified level of investment attractiveness and a different number of new registered enterprises with foreign capital in the years 2009-2017.

Full textAbstract:
Investment attractiveness of a country, and approaches to its evaluation have been thoroughly debated over few last decades. Initially, the key question concerned the reasons as to why large number of resource holders (financial funds, technologies, management systems etc.) would locate their assets, especially research and development projects, in other countries rather than remaining in their home economies. Increasing the quantity and quality of contacts with developed countries within investment process is crucially important for the development of Ukrainian economy. As follows from that point, the authors have identified features of approaches to investment attractiveness evaluation on a macroeconomic level analyzing latest works of scientists and researchers around the world. It is believed, that the most valuable type of investments for future GDP growth is funds from multinational corporations: they bring not only money, but technologies, and decision how make new businesses profitable. Thus, the fundamental consideration for countries competing for investments is the influencing and improvement of such factors through effective investment incentives policies. Within this work, we researched recent studies of investment attractiveness evaluation around the world, and assumed key points for improving and applying those approaches in Ukrainian economy. Within literature analysis the authors structured approaches to the evaluation based on the methods and subjects those approaches used. The most common methods are related to econometric analysis of statistical data that is collected and published by international institutions and rating agencies. Current analysis shows a tangible dependence between country investment attractiveness and the dynamics of FDI inflows. This dependence is not always straightforward, which is explained by influence of many other determinants within decision-making process. The authors suggest that involving independent experts from respective sectors of the economy could help to optimize the results of statistical data analysis. The expert survey provides the necessary correction coefficients which are to increase the accuracy and relevance of the investment attractiveness evaluation. The authors proposed a generalized approach to assessing the country investment attractiveness, taking into account international experience and features of the Ukrainian economy. Key words: investments, country investment attractiveness, foreign direct investment, investment attractiveness evaluation.

The importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) for the economy of the host country is demonstrated, and the advantages and risks of attracting foreign capital for the economy of Ukraine are emphasized. An analysis of the dynamics of foreign direct investment in Ukraine is carried out, with a focus on sectoral and geographical structure. Differences between the productivity of enterprises with foreign investment and that of domestic enterprises are noted. The assessment of investment potential was carried out using a multifactor comparative analysis, and a calculation of investment attractiveness is made on the basis of the standardization of indicators for the regions of Ukraine. The correspondence between the investment potential and investment attractiveness of the regions is indicated, as well as the low level of investment attractiveness of certain regions in Ukraine. Priority measures for the intensification of foreign investment activity in Ukraine in the conditions of globalization are discussed.

This paper examines the attractiveness of Brand Zimbabwe based on the factors perceived to impact on national competitiveness. Nation brand attractiveness is a necessary condition for a country to achieve influence and to effectively compete for global resources. Countries can enhance their attractiveness by building on their national brand equity and dealing with negatives around the national brands. The research sought to determine the perception towards Zimbabwe’s global risk and competitiveness; to ascertain the variables that promote competitiveness for Brand Zimbabwe and to contribute to the literature on risk perception and its impact on behaviour towards nation brands. The study followed a mixed approach; a combination of interpretivism and positivism. The research drew 372 respondents from politicians, scholars, the media, civic organisations, government officials, church and international organisations. The research established that Brand Zimbabwe faces glaring threats risks that impact on the country’s international image. The brand is affected by politics and governance together with socio-economic factors. Management and control of nation brand perception are critical for nations to distinguish themselves and to create vantage positions for sustainable performance. The way a country is viewed internationally is a function of how the country deals with factors that threaten its global competitiveness and perception towards the nation brand. Zimbabwe’s quest for foreign direct investment, international visitation and export revenue requires that the country deals with its nation brand image.

Foreign direct investment is identified as the major tool for the movement of international capital. Thus, the study has employed a review research to examine the determinants of foreign direct investment in Saudi Arabia. The results are significant as they have contributed towards determinants of foreign direct investment by comparing with previous studies. The results showed that trade openness, infrastructure availability, and market size play significant role in attracting foreign direct investment within a country. The inflow of foreign direct investment has a potential to benefit the investing entity as well as the host government. It also renders economic growth and socioeconomic transformation of the country.

Research background: A given region's investment attractiveness is a set of conditions that depend primarily on the policy of the country that is the recipient of direct foreign investment, encouraging or discouraging foreign investors from making decisions about locating investments in a given area. These conditions include the economic conditions, the infrastructure, the political and legal system, the business environment, and the sociocultural environment. a foreign investor, the motive for exporting capital abroad is the search for benefits that can be derived from the business activity conducted there, including easier entry into new markets. Purpose of the article: The main aim of the paper is to distinguish groups of voivodeships (NUTS 2 level) that are relatively homogeneous in terms of investment attractiveness, which is conducive to the inflow of foreign capital and the implementation of investment projects involving foreign capital. Methods: Distinguishing groups of voivodeships similar to each other in terms of the level of investment attractiveness is made by applying hierarchical cluster analysis. The dendrogram illustrates the hierarchical structure of clusters of similar objects according to the analysed set of variables. The quality of the clustering result is also assessed by determining the silhouette index. Comparative and descriptive analysis of CSO statistics are additional methods used that have contributed to the achievement of the aim of the paper. The research period covers the years 2000?2018. Findings & value added: The investment attractiveness of a voivodeship is closely related to the level of its economic development. Therefore, the following voivodeships are listed at the top of the investment attractiveness rankings: Mazowieckie, Dolnośląskie, Śląskie, Małopolskie, and Pomorskie. The conducted study has confirmed that the creation of special economic zones and the development of regional smart specialisations contribute to the inflow of foreign capital. It is worth noting that the assessment of investment attractiveness is relative. The comparison of the innovative attractiveness of voivodeships is based on the use of the average value, overestimated by cities, i.e. central hubs, attracting investors. The regional perspective on investment attractiveness using multi-dimensional statistical analysis methods is the added value of the article.

In the context of a global economy, increasingly competitive, the battle for the competitive advantage has become harsh. The attractiveness of countries which influence the international migration, generate opposite or complementary effects in the countries of origin and destination. Labor migration among highly qualified people stirred controversy on the impact on the economies of the countries involved in the international transfer of human capital. Labor migration, highly qualified or not, produce a change in the investor’s behavior. They will be interested in investing in countries where the workforce is favoring either qualitatively, either financially, or both.The foreign direct investment fluctuates as the dynamics of migration increases. A country with a large number of highly skilled migrants can lose to foreign investors due to the lack of attractiveness of human capital, and, at the same time, a country with a large number of a trained environmental emigrant may be of interest to investors in search of cheap labor. This paper aims to examine the following hypothesis: to which extent the emigration influence the competitive level (measured by GDP) and the foreign direct investments in the origin country. The results confirm the economic theory, showing a correlation, but not a significative one, for the analized years.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last three decades, fiscal decentralization reform has become widespread in the world as one of the most effective tools for ensuring the efficient functioning of the public and local finances, as it involves the transfer of powers from central to local or regional levels of government under the principle of subsidiarity and more effective allocation of budgetary funds. However, despite the fact that the reform of fiscal decentralization is mainly aimed at a qualitative transformation of the functioning of the budgetary system, it is crucial to take into account the consequences and interrelations of this process with other components of economic policy and their target parameters when developing the concept and algorithm for its implementation. Thus, in particular, many empirical studies confirm the impact of fiscal federalism on country economic growth. However, it is also essential to identify the impact of reform on the parameters of the country investment attractiveness. In the article, empirical studies on the impact of decentralization on the country’s and region’s investment attractiveness indicators were analyzed. The analysis results revealed that this issue has not become widespread in the scientific literature, and the existing research does not allow a clear conclusion about the nature of the impact of decentralization on the parameters of investment activity. The paper provides panel data regression analysis in order to identify the impact of revenue and (cost) expenditure decentralization on net inflow of foreign direct investment, gross capital formation and business network density for a sample of 12 unitary European countries (Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and Ukraine) for 2008-2018. According to the modeling results, it was found that the level of expenditure decentralization has a positive effect on the net inflow of foreign direct investment and business network density, negative – on the volume of gross capital formation. In contrast, revenue decentralization has no statistically significant effect on any of the performance parameters. Keywords: expenditure (cost) decentralization, revenue decentralization, investment attractiveness, investment activity, regression analysis.

The analysis of Brazil's, Russia's, India's, China's and RSA's opportunities allows to speak about the further development of BRICS potential in the near future due to increase of the FDI flows both within BRICS and in its relations with third countries. China which to date selectively takes foreign investments giving special priority to their qualitative characteristics will remain the most long-term country. Russia continues to be one of global leaders in the field of resource development and a country with plenty of unrealized opportunities in the industrial sector. By today, there is still much tension around the issue of new growth drivers and investment climate improvement. Given the decrease in the investment attractiveness of the Western Europe which led the way as a FDI recipient in the past, in 2011 Russia's indexes doubled as compared to 2005. As far as the Russian economy development prospects are viewed as advantageous in the whole, everything will depend on the state policy coherence, where it's worth to study the BRICS partners' experiences.

The main goal of this research is to determine whether there is an impact of country - of -origin image on consumer loyalty to products originating from countries with positive and recognizable image and whether this impact is achieved through characteristics such as product quality and design, and attractiveness related to using the same. To examine this impact, an empirical study was conducted on a sample of 150 respondents and analysis of collected data was performed in SPSS 20. The results show that information about country of -origin image is important to consumers and has an impact on their behavior related to buying foreign product. More precisely, results show that country - of -origin image affects consumers when they choose products based on their quality and design and attractiveness that consumers feel when using these products, and also that through these characteristics country - of -origin image has effects on consumer loyalty. In accordance with the obtained results, conclusion is that it is extremely desirable for companies and governments to take into account the image that their country enjoys on the world market.

Abstract The country image tends to be a crucial element for supporting national products on foreign markets. This is also a case for tourist products. The Germany brand is one of the most powerful brands across the world. However, it seems, as highlighted in the research hypothesis, that in the case of tourism its impact on the Poles is not as strong as in the case of numerous other economic spheres. The poll research conducted on a selected group of respondents revealed the grounds for the hypothesis stated. Respondents evaluated relatively poorly both the attractiveness of Germany as well as their urge to visit that country compared to other European countries, they also rated poorly the selected highlights of the country. Another barrier related to perceived attractiveness of Germany is a not entirely positive stereotype of German people. The results reveal the need for changes of it, which are possible in the light of better ratings given by persons who previously visited Germany.

Full textAbstract:
There have been examined the destructive factors such as corruption, shadow economy, which slow down the process of formation of investment and innovation attractiveness in Ukraine, as well as slow down the development of domestic business and the completion of economic system reform, which is especially noticeable in the pre-election and post-election periods. The role of global depression and shadow economy is outlined. The impact of political cycles on the volume of investment in domestic business is revealed, as well as creating risks not only for Ukrainian business but also for foreign investors. At the same time, such processes may attract foreign investors with the possibility of using «recycling» of residents’ capital. Using economic-mathematical methods and models of economic analysis, a comprehensive assessment of the conditions of doing business and establishing the interdependence of objective and subjective indicators-factors of the studied phenomenon and the functional relationships between them was made. We have made the conclusions about the nature of the variable «shadow economy» and the development of private business in the country, as well as their dependence on political cycles and economic shocks. A basis has been formed to identify the problems of declining business activity associated with the unstable political situation in Ukraine caused by the financial and economic crisis, hostilities inside the country, systematic reformatting of power, changes in political vectors, as evidenced by the index of state instability. The influence of destructive factors on the attraction of foreign investments in domestic business is proved, which testifies the insufficient impact of the state on the regulation of business relations and requires considered urgent reforms.

Introduction. The problem of country investment attractiveness, and approaches to its evaluation have been thoroughly debated over few last decades. Attracting of foreign direct investment (FDI) that is dedicated to creation of new jobs and added value in Ukraine, is relevant since independence declaration in 1991 and until now. It is believed, Ukrainian economy has unlimited investment potential, and reasonable high level of investment attractiveness, based on its geographical location and existing natural resources. Apparently, based on open access data, Ukraine has one of the worst in Europe FDI and GDP dynamic. Thus, the fundamental studies considering concept of “country investment potential” is highly relevant due to current macroeconomic condition in Ukraine. Within this work, authors researched recent studies of investment attractiveness evaluation around the world, and assumed their common principles. purpose of the research is to review most recent publications around the world on country investment potential evaluation topic. Results.The authors researched current relevant publications in journals which are indexed by international research databases. The analysis has shown that vast majority of current studies are connected to emerging market economies such as China and India. Among those papers, the most common approach to evaluate country’s investment attractiveness was usage of statistical methods. It allows considering a reasonably significant number of independent variables. Based on UNCTAD data [1], emerging economies show the best dynamic data related to GDP growth, and FDI inflows and outflows within last decade. According to abovementioned, the authors focused the research related to developing countries. Prospects. The Future researches could be long-term promising within the direction of country investment potential evaluation, taking into consideration socio-cultural determinants of specific countries in relevant statistical models.

Full textAbstract:
Putnam's (1988) conjecture that negotiators can benefit from their domestic constraints implies that they may want to impose domestic constraints on themselves by granting veto power to an agent. I show that a negotiator's decision to employ an agent as veto player depends on the kinds of information available to the foreign country and the alignment of preferences between the negotiator and the agent. When the foreign country has incomplete information about the negotiator's preferences and the negotiator has preferences too divergent from those of the agent, the negotiator will not give veto power to the agent. However, this applies only to an agent with extreme preferences, and a surprisingly large number of agent types will receive veto power. The attractiveness of the agent veto to the negotiator is in part due to its informational effect. By granting veto power to an agent, the negotiator can transmit more information to the foreign country and capture informational gains that would be lost in the absence of the agent veto.

As the economic footprint of developing countries increases, talent management grows in importance for foreign multinational companies in emerging markets. Multinational companies, however, face fierce competition for local talent, and competitive recruiting calls for practical knowledge about the personal traits of job applicants. The present study applies a cross-cultural perspective to this issue, exploring how individually held cultural values influence the attractiveness of Japanese companies in Malaysia. Drawing on similarity-attraction theory and person–organization fit theory, the study quantitatively analyses data from a paper-based survey of 245 prospective jobseekers. The findings indicate that an individual cultural value fit with the foreign company’s country of origin is significant predictors of employer attractiveness. Specifically, the study finds that potential Malaysian jobseekers who are lower in power distance and higher in risk aversion and long-term orientation view Japanese companies as attractive future employers and have higher job-pursuit behavior. Based on this finding, the study discusses theoretical and practical contributions to corporate employment strategies.

The purpose of this article is to provide a comparative analysis of policies aimed at foreign investors in the new member states of the European Union as well as in the developing countries of Asia. The policies demonstrate certain similarities in spite of the fact that the analyzed world economic regions are subject to different conditions. A common feature is the opening up of economies to foreign investors, coupled with the application of certain incentives intended to increase the attractiveness of the country to foreign investors. Countries strive to modernize their economies with the help of foreign capital. The developing countries of Asia, in contrast to the new member states of the European Union, are not restricted in their policies with respect to foreign investors by the requirements of regional economic integration.

Topicality. In the conditions of the economic crisis, in which the economy of Ukraine has been in recent years, the search for reasons that do not allow developing the economy properly and the intensification of areas for attracting investments, including foreign ones, is one of the priority issues. The article aims to explore the level of the investment climate in Ukraine, as well as to analyze the level of attracting foreign investment in the economy of Ukraine. Aim and tasks. Investment attractiveness is largely shaped by the investment climate; therefore, we analyze the investment climate as a combination of legal, financial, political, and socio-cultural factors that predetermine the expediency of investing in the country. Estimated index of investment attractiveness of the country for 2009-2018 and the place of Ukraine in the rating of investment attractiveness of the countries of the world. The article analyzes the volume of foreign direct investment in Ukraine, the structure of investment in the sectoral context and by investor countries of foreign direct investment over the ten-year period from 2010 to 2019. Research results. Based on the study, it was found that the most attractive for foreign investors in the industry, during the analyzed period, remain the industry, especially processing, financial and insurance activities, wholesale and retail trade, real estate operations, scientific and technical activities, information and telecommunications. It is determined that the main investor countries that invest more than 80% of foreign direct investment are twelve of the one hundred and thirty investment countries. The top five investor countries are Cyprus, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom and the Russian Federation, these countries form more than 60% of all international investments in the economy of Ukraine. The study revealed that almost a third of the international investment in the Ukrainian economy is Ukrainian capital, previously withdrawn from the country in offshore jurisdictions - round - tripping. These countries, apart from Cyprus, include Switzerland and the British Islands Verginsky. Conclusion. The necessity of further formation of modern approaches to the creation of a favorable investment environment in the Ukrainian economy, based on the experience of countries such as Estonia in the taxation of withdrawn capital and world experience, is substantiated. Ukraine should also continue to cooperate with international institutions such as the OECD and develop areas of cooperation with investors under the MLI Convention, which will help reduce the movement of Ukrainian capital to low-tax countries and, accordingly, will affect the increase in investment in the Ukrainian economy.

Purpose Efficiency in retailing companies is mandatory for survival. Literature acknowledges external factors impact on efficiency. However, this impact remains understudied, as previous research typically focuses on managerial decisions. The purpose of this paper is to partially fill this gap by exploring the influence of external factors on retailers’ efficiency. Design/methodology/approach This research simultaneously measures retail efficiency and evaluates the impact of six potential drivers by applying bootstrap techniques in a sample of 25 European Union countries during the period 2006–2015. Findings The efficiency of the retail system in the countries under analysis evolves at different paces during the observation period. This evolution can be explained by country population density, average store size within countries, foreign trade ratio, concentration, economic freedom and percentage of urban population. Research limitations/implications This research does not account for supply and demand restrictions that might affect retailers’ efficiency, as well as other variables that influence their production process. Practical implications This paper might help retail managers to comprehend and manage their companies’ efficiency. Furthermore, it provides clues to evaluate market attractiveness in retailers’ international expansion strategies. Social implications Policy makers can facilitate retailers’ efficiency through regulations on external variables that influence retailers’ performance, namely economic freedom and foreign trade ratio. Originality/value For the first time, this study analyses the impact of external factors on retail services efficiency across countries.

As a rapidly developing country, Indonesia realizes that foreign direct investment (FDI) remains necessary to fuel growth in the capital-scarce country. Yet, along with its development, Indonesia is facing more complex challenges both because of domestic issues and its problematic bilateral investment treaties (BITs) which do not provide explicit policy space for the government. The problematic implementation of the desentralisasi system, a limited rule of law and difficulties in dealing with corruption continue to reduce Indonesia’s attractiveness to foreign investors. Indonesia has decided to discontinue its old BITs and has expressed an interest in designing a new BIT model. This article attempts to suggest ways in which Indonesia can deal with its domestic challenges and to improve its new international investment agreements to create a more conducive investment climate.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this work was to present the similarities between the components of competitiveness and investment attractiveness as two complementary categories, and to show the role of new locational advantages in determining the level of investment attractiveness of a country. Another objective of this paper was to provide a comparative analysis of Central and Eastern European countries in terms of their investment attractiveness. Thus this paper was organized as follows: the first part of the paper focused on a country’s competitiveness, and the traditional and new location advantages that determine its investment attractiveness in view of direct investment inflows in the light of M. Porter’s model of a diamond, an eclectic paradigm of J. H. Dunning and new growth theories. The second part presented the results of investment attractiveness analysis including selected countries of CEE in the years 1995-2013. Comparing the investment attractiveness of Central and Eastern European countries shows that a rather narrow group of countries attracts a greater amount of FDI, and many more countries have experienced a decline in FDI. Therefore, the research results allow for the conclusion that Central and Eastern Europe reduced its investment attractiveness over the past years. This means that the majority of Central and Eastern European countries are becoming less successful in attracting FDI, and therefore in shaping the environment in which foreign companies wish to conduct their business.

At present, dialogue is the most effective form of interaction, which allows to form a positive public opinion and achieve the country's foreign policy interests abroad. The paper investigates the concept of public diplomacy, proposed by various authors as a special direction of the country's foreign policy. To determine the effectiveness of public diplomacy, practices of different countries are examined, namely Russia and China, which, through the use of public diplomacy, have created a dialogue with the foreign public, thereby promoting national interests and gaining loyalty of a foreign audience. This paper considers the international initiatives of Kazakhstan as elements of public diplomacy, allowing to position the country and increase its attractiveness in the international arena. Analyzing the experience of developing public diplomacy in other countries and considering the current tasks of Kazakhstan, the author offers recommendations on the effective implementation of public diplomacy as an additional opportunity to promote the foreign policy interests of Kazakhstan abroad. The implementation of the recommendations will allow Kazakhstan to effectively use public diplomacy for successful positioning of the country in the world community, as well as to establish dialogue with the foreign public, ensuring its loyalty to the country's current policy.

The authors of the article analyze the effect of corruption on foreign direct investments in most corrupt European Union countries. Corruption in the context of the analysis is understood as an act where government officials enter into an agreement with a foreign investors against the interest of society. It takes place when illegal payments for government are made. Such payments acts as an additional tax on investments in foreign country, thus decreasing attractiveness of investment for foreign investors. There are various types of corruption, but most common classification include grand corruption, petty corruption and public sector corruption. However, this article focuses on the effect of grand corruption, because it directly affects FDI inflows in particular country. Results of the research made by the authors shows that corruption has adverse effect on FDI inflows, however particular corrupt actions may postively effect FDI inflows. In order to determine corruption effect on FDI in corrupt EU countries statistical analysis of 2000–2014 period has been implemented and conceptual model of effect on FDI created.

In this paper the author analyses the main development potentials of foreign direct investments in different world regions. They are real and evident, but not always exploited. It is found out that the developed financial markets, good governance, developed institutions and the size of country have a great impact on the location choices of foreign investors. In developing countries economic, administrative and legislative reforms, as well as developed infrastructure networks, should improve a country's attractiveness for FDIs. In most countries, FDIs are concentrated in developed regions and sell the greatest share of their production on the local market. One of their parts is export-oriented, but at the same time, they are great importers from developed countries. The extent of spillovers is modest in most cases.

The period of active foreign direct investing during 2004–2007 and the period of FDI decline due to the global economic and financial crisis are distinguished. The sectoral and regional structures of German TNCs’ investments are analyzed as well. The special accent is made on the issue of investment attractiveness of Central and Eastern Europe, especially Ukraine, for the German TNCs. It was revealed that stability and predictability of the situation in the country and main features of its market are more important for German corporations when choosing the host country, than regulatory restrictions on foreign direct investment. This is a very important issue for the FDI attraction into Ukrainian economy. Keywords: TNCs, FDI, international capital flows, regulatory restrictions, Central and Eastern Europe, Ukraine.

Because of the scarcity of capital the attraction of FDI became an objective which was followed with topmost priority in many post-socialist countries. But how effective were the introduced incentives? The comparative analysis shows that in spite of the advantageous effects of FDI on the transition process, the introduction of tax concessions appears to be of little value. No significant relationship between tax incentives and the level of FDI could be found. This, however, does not mean that the development of FDI was detached from political control. The way in which privatization took place had a big impact and a comparatively low general level of taxes influenced investments positively. Beyond this the general success of transformation was of importance for the attractiveness of a country.

The article examines the relationship between attracting foreign capital in the form of foreign direct investment and ensuring economic development. In particular, the analysis of the current structure of the economy is indicated, its raw material character is pointed out and, based on other researches, the necessity of its reform is substantiated, as Ukraine will remain a low-income country if the current trend continues. This is due to the fact that countries with a raw material structure of the economy are characterized by a low level of economic complexity, and therefore are not able to generate high levels of income in society. As a result, the expediency of stimulating the attraction of investment resources into the country’s economy, in particular in the form of foreign direct investment, is substantiated. The dynamics of attracting foreign direct investment to Ukraine and a number of other countries for the period from 1991 to 2019 is analyzed and the key negative factors that deter foreign investors from investing in the economy of Ukraine are indicated. As a result of the analysis, divergent trends in the economic development of Ukraine and other analyzed countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Turkey, Romania, Hungary) were identified, which contributed to economic stagnation and restrained economic growth and development. Taking into account the analysis, as well as based on the concept of investment and innovation growth, it is proposed to use the experience of Israel to improve the country’s investment attractiveness and stimulate foreign capital inflows by adapting the Yozma program to Ukrainian realities. According to our estimates, the adaptation of this program to the Ukrainian economy will attract about $ 350 million over a five-year period of venture capital alone. In addition, programs such as YOSMA can also be implemented at the regional or even local level. We believe that the use of this tool will improve the investment attractiveness of the country, as well as provide sufficient financial resources to modernize the domestic economy and ensure rapid economic growth.

The paper examines the effects of import competition and other factors such as capital intensity, foreign direct investment (being a channel through which foreign technologies are transmitted into an economy) and access to electricity, on labour productivity in Nigeria using annual time series data spanning the period from 1991 to 2018. In doing this, the FMOLS estimator is employed for estimation of a long run cointegrating model. The study finds that import competition adversely affects labour productivity in the long run. It also finds that the effect of capital intensity on labour productivity is positive, but not statistically significant. Further evidence from the study are that foreign direct investment and access to electricity positively and significantly affect labour productivity in the country. The study recommends, as measures to increase labour productivity in the country, efforts by the government to improve access to electricity, enhance the attractiveness of various sectors of the economy to FDI, and boost domestic production capacity to increase volume and quality of output so as to enhance its competitiveness and reduce dependence on imports, especially of consumption goods.

Purpose The deterministic role of various macroeconomic fundamentals on the attractiveness of countries to inflow of FDI is well documented in literature. The role of market size, infrastructural development, inflation and exchange rates differential have been supported as determinants of FDI direction. However, no documented study has benefited from diverse measures of institutional adequacy as presented in this study. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts various econometric approaches that include descriptive statistics, fixed effects models, LM test of independence, feasible generalised least squares regression and SUR estimations. Findings This study unveils the specific impacts and explanatory power of each of the variables along country lines, and the author compares the results of some emerging markets in Asia, Eastern Europe, and South America to some selected countries in Africa. Using data set from various sources over a period of 44 years in a seemingly unrelated regression environment, this study suggests that poor technological capability, inadequate political system, weak productivity gains are major deterrents to the attractiveness of African countries to inflow of FDI. Research limitations/implications The major limitation of this study revolves around availability of usable data, which compels the researcher to limit the focus and the span of time series. Practical implications The study suggests the need to improve institutional quality in emerging economies, especially countries in Africa in order to enhance their attractiveness to FDI inflow. More importantly, the study found that low capital productivity gains hinder the attractiveness of African emerging markets to FDI inflow. Social implications To alleviate poverty, attraction of FDI is considered important, and the improvement of institutional functionality in that regard is found to be important. The need to augment technological improvement is considered very important and critical. Originality/value This serves to confirm that the article entitled “The Machination of Foreign Direct Investment Flow to Emerging Markets – A focus on Africa” is my own original work, envisaged to contribute to the debate about the role of macroeconomic fundamentals, especially capital productivity gains as determinants of a country’s attractiveness to inflow of foreign capital in academic literature.

Full textAbstract:
This paper introduces the concept of investment promotion, a form of marketing used by national governments to attract foreign investments into their country. While it is not a new concept, it barely makes it to academic literature. The paper brings investment promotion to the forefront for the purpose of creating a research interest in this topic and also contributes to the development of literature. It attempts to integrate investment promotion activities into already established marketing models and frameworks and set a marketing research agenda on the topic. Since attracting foreign investment is a policy and country situation issue, this paper will support and serve as a reference for governments as they design foreign investment policies and improve the attractiveness of their country as an investment destination using marketing tools.

Full textAbstract:
It is necessary to monitor the social attitudes of foreign students in order to involve foreign applicants in a favorable to Russia discourse, applying the concept of “soft power”. Applicants’ social attitudes have a direct impact on the choice of the country of study and on the effectiveness of social, cultural, pedagogical adaptation of foreign students. The socio-cultural characteristics of foreign students were studied using focus groups, expert polls, and narrative interviews. The classification of foreign students according to cultural profiles has been made. Attitudes of students from different cultural profiles were monitored according to the questionnaires developed by the authors. Based on the scaling techniques of E. Bogardus, C. Osgood, L. Thurstone, L. Guttman, R. Likert, an integral index was calculated for each cultural profile. Methods for monitoring the social attitudes of foreign applicants make it possible to identify the specifics and dynamics of the attitudes of cultural profiles. Positive attitudes towards Russia contribute to the export of Russian educational services and attractiveness of the Russian cultural space and the educational system.
