Full textForeign direct investments are easier today then in the past owing to lower communication costs, improved and new information technology systems. In 1990, Brazil opened up for the global econ-omy and is today one of the tenth largest economies in the world, furthermore one of the largest recipients of foreign direct investments. Many different aspects need to be taken into consideration when investing in a foreign country such as motives, risks, entry modes and financing alternatives.
The purpose with this thesis is to describe Swedish corporations’ es-tablishment in Brazil, during 1990-2005. The authors aim to illus-trate the motives behind the establishment, choice of entry mode, the perceived risks of operating in Brazil and if these risks affect the financing decisions.
To answer the purpose of this thesis both quantitative- and qualitative methods have been applied. A quantitative method has been employed when performing the preliminary study, by sending a standardized questionnaire by email to the entire population to as-semble those corporations who established in Brazil during 1990-2005. When designing the interview questionnaire and accomplishing the telephone interviews a combination of qualitative- and quantitative methods have been utilized.
The most common motives to invest in Brazil are expanding markets and following already existing customers. When deciding upon how to enter the market, the majority of the respondents choose to start up from the ground, a Greenfield investment. The risks which had the largest impact of the corporation during the establishment were the political risk and protectionism. Intercompany financing has been the main financing alternative, though it is very expensive to borrow in Brazil. The risks affecting the financing decisions are the exchange rate, inflation and the interest rate.

Full textL’objectif de cette thèse est d’explorer l’impact de l’incertitude sur les IDE. Elle s’intéresse plus particulièrement à l’industrie agroalimentaire en tenant compte des spécificités de la chaîne de valeur agricole. Les flux et les stocks d’IDE sont généralement très instables et il est admis que l’incertitude est le principal facteur causant les baisses fréquentes de l’IDE au niveau mondial. Nous voulons savoir si et dans quelle mesure l’incertitude causée par la volatilité de la demande et de l’offre peut affecter les IDE dans l’industrie agroalimentaire. À cette fin, nous utilisons des modèles théoriques et empiriques. Dans le premier chapitre, nous étudions empiriquement la mesure dans laquelle l’incertitude provenant des variabilités de la demande du marché, de la production et du commerce peut expliquer la probabilité d’avoir des IDE dans l’industrie agroalimentaire. On s’attend à ce que les IDE soient retardés lorsque l’incertitude augmente car les entreprises qui font ces investissements mobilisent des ressources conséquentes pour réaliser leurs IDE. Nous utilisons un modèle d’analyse de survie et des données d’IDE bilateraux. Cela nous permet de constater que la volatilité réduit la probabilité d’observer l’IDE entre les pays. Ce comportement est observé dans l’industrie agroalimentaire mais aussi dans d’autres industries. Cependant, toutes les sources de variabilité ne jouent pas nécessairement un rôle. Par exemple, les IDE des entreprises multinationales européennes et américaines dans l’industrie alimentaire sont négativement affectés par la volatilité des importations du pays de destination. Les IDE de ces pays dans l’industrie des produits chimiques sont négativement affectés par la volatilité de la production. La volatilité des exportations diminue l’attrait de capitaux étrangers dans le secteur des équipements de transport des pays d’accueil. Dans le second chapitre, nous construisons un modèle théorique pour expliquer le compromis entre les exportations et les IDE compte tenu de l’incertitude quant à la taille de la demande. Nous observons que l’incertitude de la demande induit un comportement d’attente des entreprises multinationales qui explique pourquoi les IDE peuvent être retardés dans les marchés où l’incertitude est grande. L’IDE devient une option réelle dans laquelle l’attente permet de réduire l’incertitude. Nous adoptons la littérature sur l’analyse des options réelles pour construire notre cadre théorique. En plus de l’incertitude de la demande, nous examinons également des facteurs comme les coûts au commerce et l’environnement de la concurrence. Nous observons qu’une forte concurrence, une faible différenciation des produits et une diminution des barrières commerciales amplifient le comportement d’attente des multinationales. Par exemple, la réduction des coûts au commerce peut nuire aux IDE, car elle augmente leur sensibilité à l’incertitude et l’attente devient une option plus intéressante. Dans le dernier chapitre, nous analysons les IDE dans l’industrie agroalimentaire en tenant compte des différences de volatilité dans l’offre agricole entre les pays. Cette analyse nous permet d’étudier la question de l’incertitude dans l’industrie agroalimentaire du point de vue de la chaîne d’approvisionnement, car nous considérons l’incertitude dans le secteur en amont. En fait, les variations des prix agricoles ou des quantités livrées aux transformateurs par les agriculteurs sont souvent importantes et imprévisibles. Par conséquent, ces transformateurs de l’industrie agroalimentaire sont exposées à une incertitude croissante et persistante. Notre cadre théorique tient compte du pouvoir de marché des entreprises de transformation et des IDE de type horizontaux et verticaux. Nous obtenons que même les entreprises neutres au risque sont préoccupées par la variabilité de l’offre. En effet, dans le contexte de l’industrie alimentaire, la relation entre le profit et le choc d’offre est concave étant donné la concurrence imparfaite et le moment de la résolution de l’incertitude. Notre approche empirique confirme que les entreprises multinationales réalisent leurs décisions en matière d’IDE en considérant les disparités de variabilité de l’offre entre les pays parce que la volatilité du secteur agricole dissuade les IDE. Nous testons cette prédiction à l’aide de données bilatérales de stocks d’IDE dans l’industrie agroalimentaire.
The three essays of this thesis explore the impact of uncertainty on FDI in the food industry by taking into account the specificities of the food value chain. FDI flows and stocks are very unstable and evidence suggests that uncertainty is the main factor causing frequent declines in FDI globally. We want to know whether and to what extent the uncertainty caused by the volatility of demand and supply affects FDI in the food processing industry by using theoretical and empirical models. The first essay empirically studies whether uncertainty related to variables such as volatile market demand, production variability and trade volatility affects the hazard rate of FDI in the food industry. As FDI is irreversible investment, it is likely to be delayed when uncertainty increases. Using a survival analysis model and bilateral FDI data, we find that volatility reduces the hazard rate of FDI. This behavior is observed in the food industry but also in other industries. However, not all sources of variability are relevant. For example, FDI by European and US multinational companies in the food industry is negatively affected by the import volatility of the country of destination. FDI of these countries in the chemical industry is negatively affected by the volatility of production. Export volatility plays a role in attracting foreign capitals in the transport equipment sector of host countries. The second essay provides a theoretical model to explain the choice between export and FDI given the uncertainty about the size of demand. The fact that FDI is delayed when uncertainty increases is explained by the wait-and-see behavior of multinational companies when investing in very uncertain foreign markets. FDI decisions can be considered as real options in which the decision to invest can be postponed to reduce uncertainty. We build a model that relies on the literature of real options. In addition to the uncertainty of demand, we also examine factors such as trade costs and the competitive environment. We find that intense competition, low product differentiation and reduction of trade barriers amplify the wait-and-see behavior of multinational firms. For example, trade liberalization can be harmful for FDI, as it increases the sensitivity of FDI to uncertainty and waiting becomes a more valuable option. In the last essay, we analyze FDI in the food processing industry, given the differences in the volatility of agricultural supply between countries. This analysis allow us to examine the issue of uncertainty in the food processing industry from a supply chain perspective, as we consider uncertainty in the upstream sector. In fact, variations of farm prices or of quantity delivered to processors by farmers are problematic as they are large and unpredictable. Consequently, food processing firms, as they use massively primary agricultural commodities as ingredients, are exposed to an increasing and persistent uncertainty. Our theoretical framework takes into account the market power of processors and horizontal and vertical FDI are discussed. We find that even risk-neutral companies are concerned by the variance of supply. Indeed, in the context of the food industry, the relationship between profit and supply shock is concave given imperfect competition and the timing of the resolution of uncertainty. Our empirical approach (a gravity model) confirms that multinational firms achieve their FDI decisions by considering the difference of supply shocks between countries as the volatility of the agricultural sector deters FDI.We test this prediction using bilateral FDI stocks data in the food processing industry.

Full textAttracting foreign direct investments (FDI) is an important objective as it can stimulate the economic development of societies. German companies are among the largest investors in Portugal and contribute significantly to the country’s value creation. However, Portugal’s attractiveness as an investment location has been decreasing in recent years as new competitors have emerged in the global economy. This report analyzes FDI trends and determinants as well as Portugal’s relative strengths and weaknesses, identifies potential investment opportunities for German investors and makes practical suggestions to improve the country’s current investment promotion activities, focusing in particular on the automotive supplier industry.

Full textForeign investment is one of the key elements of economic development in Nigeria. Yet the process of regulating it is challenging and problematic, particularly in the northern parts of Nigeria where people prefer informal investments and tend to ignore the necessary laws governing investments. Today in Nigeria as in most African countries, there are many investors, most of them from Asia, who are very insensitive to the rule of law. They invest and carry out business in Nigeria and particularly northern Nigeria often in breach of investment laws. Nigerian investment regulatory laws were made to provide security and protection of investors’ interests, but these laws are ignored due to their technicality. There is no doubt that the regulatory environment for investment will work better and more securely when there is a system of compliance. The dissertation will focus on the theoretical and practical analysis of investment security laws in Nigeria, and not the root of investment as a concept itself which is beyond the scope of this work.
