Kikuchi, Mami. "Investing and Vesting International Students' Expressive Resources in Social Capital at Portland State University." PDXScholar, 2010. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/130.
Abstract:
The study expands the conceptual and methodological precepts of social capital by examining how international students receive social capital from their friends and how students provide social capital to their friends in a North American university setting. The author examines the degree of emotional support that the participants provide ("Investing" social capital) and the support they receive from their friends ("Vesting" social capital), and the relationships between the two social capital variables. In addition, the study examines the influence of demographics and social interaction on social capital, and the influence of social capital on satisfaction. The study suggests that vesting and investing in social capital are correlated, and that giving and receiving social capital are influenced by social interactions with friends. However, social capital offered no significant contribution to satisfaction.

SILVA, RAPHAEL BRAGA DA. "EFFECT ON THE BRAZILIAN PENSION FUNDS PERFORMANCE FOR INVESTING IN INTERNATIONAL ASSETS AND LONG-SHORT FUNDS." PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO, 2008. http://www.maxwell.vrac.puc-rio.br/Busca_etds.php?strSecao=resultado&nrSeq=12229@1.
Abstract:
PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROO presente trabalho realizou uma análise dos efeitos provocados pela inclusão da classe de ativos denominada multimercado, na carteira dos Fundos de Pensão no Brasil. Esta denominação, multimercado, é fornecida pela Resolução CMN 3.456 de 1º de junho de 2007 que permitiu um limite de aplicação de até 3% nestes ativos. Face ao grande leque de possibilidades disponíveis com a permissão para aplicação nesta categoria de multimercados, optou-se neste trabalho por avaliar especificamente o impacto da aplicação em ativos no exterior e em fundos long and short. Através dos resultados do teste t para igualdade dos retornos médios, constatou-se que a aplicação nos ativos avaliados não produziu efeitos significativos na fronteira eficiente dos fundos de pensão, mesmo quando o limite de aplicação foi expandido para 20%. No entanto, mudanças no cenário econômico atual indicam que a busca por alternativas de investimentos, capazes de melhorar o desempenho no longo prazo, será um fator fundamental para manutenção do equilíbrio financeiro desse grupo de investidores.
The present study has performed an analysis of the effects caused in the performance of Brazilian pension funds by the inclusion of hedge funds in their portfolios, including funds invested in international assets. The definition of hedge funds is provided by the Resolution CMN 3456 of June 1, 2007. This Resolution allowed pension funds in Brazil to allocate up to 3% of their investments in international hedge funds. Given the wide range of assets classes available in this category of hedge funds, this study has focused on international assets and longshort funds. The t-test results for the average returns showed that investments in such asset classes do not generate a major effect on the efficient frontier of the pension funds` investments. The results do not change much even if we increase the constraint from 3% to 20%. However, changes in the current economic environment indicate that finding alternative investments that can enhance the asset performance on a long term view will be a crucial factor to maintain the financial health of pension funds.

Zheng, Wen. "Investing in high-speed passenger rail networks: insights from complex international supply chain, technologies and multiproduct firms." Thesis, Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/1853/44697.
Abstract:
The growth of population and business during the rapid urbanization process in the twentieth century has generated significant demand for transportation. As the demands have grown, road and air transportation are suffering from significant congestion and delays. Continuing expansion of highways and airports has become both expensive and difficult, along with not being able to provide adequate solutions to the growing congestion. One alternative, which is being pursued by many countries, is to invest in efficient high-speed rail networks to meet the pressing demand for mass passenger transportation. This alternative is also one that may have beneficial impacts by reducing energy consumption and alleviating some of the environmental concerns. But to make these infrastructure investments, governments need to make difficult decisions due to the complexity of the industry and technologies involved.
This thesis examines decision making by government for such investments. In order to carefully study the industry, we use a two part approach. First, we examine the HSR industry supply-chain. We create a detailed taxonomy of the industry supply-chain and highlight various aspects of the advanced technologies being used, the sophisticated multiproduct nature of the firms, and the diverse international location of the companies. Second, we gather information on all the international HSR contracts between 2001-2011. These contracts enable us to examine business strategies pursued by the major HSR trainset suppliers and component manufacturers, insights into the size of the orders and type of trainsets being delivered, and the formation of partnerships and collaborations to meet the complex demands imposed by Governments when they invite bids for these expensive projects.
A detailed examination of the supply-chain shows that the core technologies and competencies are highly concentrated in those countries which historically have had high demand for high-speed rail. Germany, Japan, France, for example, have the highest number of trainset and component suppliers. In more recent years, South Korea and China have emerged as the new frontiers of trainset and components suppliers. This implies that countries who are outside of this group are highly dependent on either importing these technologies and investments or make a concerted effort to develop them via partnerships and technology transfer agreements.
Our examination of contracts shows that the size of HSR investment order is important for both business and government strategy. The order size determines the extent of domestic content and production. While many components will inevitably be imported, a larger order size may allow for various components to be manufactured domestically. Order size also appears to influence the nature of partnerships among the firms in the industry. We observe a growing number of HSR investment partnerships among trainset suppliers over time, possibly due to the need to pool risk in these highly complex and uncertain investments, as well as the changing competitive dynamic of HSR markets.

Overview and problem definition -- Theoretical context -- Facets of firm's evaluation of FDI and IJV formation -- Analytical framework and results -- Summary.
This dissertation investigates managerial evaluation of FDI and IJV formation in a developing country. The assessment is likely to be influenced by a country's factor endowments, created assets and policy framework. The efficiencies of the processes relating to decision-making, IJV formation and FDI implementation in a particular country can also impact a firm's evaluation of the country. Further, all the above variables are assessed by a firm in the context of its motives and organisational characteristics. -- After an initial growth period, driven by the country's economic reforms, FDI in India seems to have stagnated at relatively low levels. In addition, the conversion of FDI proposals (approved by Indian authorities) into direct investment in the country remains low. Empirical research on FDI outflows has typically focussed on large economies. A limited industrial base and market size differentiates Australia from these countries. -- This thesis contributes to the understanding of managerial assessment of a potential FDI destination in the context of Australian firms investing in India - a recent phenomenon that has not been previously explored. This research also differentiates itself from other studies in its investigation of FDI-related processes that are virtually overlooked in earlier empirical literature. Earlier empirical studies have explored some of the dimensions affecting a firm's assessment of an FDI location in isolation. Investigating these issues on the same set of sample firms renders the findings of this research more holistic. Through exploring the impact of a firm's organisational context on its assessment of a potential FDI location, this study also addresses the inadequate attention given to a firm's 'operational and strategically-based variables' and to 'managerial' rather than 'market' processes in existing empirical literature on FDI (Dunning, 1988, p. 8; Buckley, 1996, p. 18). At a practical level, this research provides guidance to decision makers in India to improve its FDI appeal. It also identifies the key issues potential investors should consider in making FDI in the country. -- The theoretical base of this research is inter-disciplinary, incorporating explanations for FDI and IJV formation based on economics, behavioural science, organisational learning and strategic perspectives. Multiple perspectives are used in this exploratory study, primarily to extend our knowledge of FDI and IJV-related processes and decisions. The findings are also compared with the expectations of the alternative theoretical frameworks. -- The data for this research was collected from 25 Australian firms that have invested in India already or have FDI proposals approved by Indian authorities during 1993-1998. A questionnaire was completed in personal meetings with CEOs or other senior executives of the firms in the sample. This data collection was supplemented by interviews with these officers from a sub-sample of 16 firms. -- This research finds that Australian firms are primarily driven by the aggressive motive of market growth in the liberalising economy. The overall FDI attractiveness of India's location-specific factors is perceived by firms to be in the significantly attractive class, albeit close to its lower bound. It is inhibited by unfavourable perceptions of the country relating to eleven location-specific factors which are important to a firm's FDI location decision. These factors are categorised into economic/financial (six), political/legal (three) and IJV-related (two). Firms, which have already invested in India, tend to rate the overall attractiveness of these country factors lower than other firms.
The study finds that, despite recent reforms, India's FDI-related policy framework is still perceived as not sufficiently friendly by Australian investors. Unfavourable assessments of the country, relating to eight policy variables, inhibits its overall policy friendliness for FDI. Regulatory controls on FDI are perceived as the most unfriendly feature of India's FDI regime. The study also shows that the scope to improve the friendliness of its policy regime, through building better awareness of the policies among investors, is limited. Thus improvements in policies are needed before the country undertakes extensive promotional efforts of its policies. -- A firm's FDI decision-making process is materially hampered by delays resulting from cumbersome approval requirements and obtaining responses from the country's authorities. Discussions with potential IJV partners are the only source of information that firms find useful relating to FDI in the country. This suggests that improvements may be needed in India's communication strategies. This research also shows that the host country needs to focus separately on improving some of the country's locationspecific factors, policies and FDI processes to improve its appeal to investors. -- The FDI implementation process in the country is significantly hindered by bureaucratic delays within its various agencies. Firms that have already invested in the country emphasise the severity of this hindrance more than other firms. -- Ownership interest of Australian firms in FDI ventures tends to be lower than the host country's regulatory hurdles. The perception that a local partner can add value to the FDI operation is a major reason for forming IJVs. However, large, non-Australian owned, capital-intensive or well-internationalised firms tend to show more confidence in assuming higher ownership in FDI ventures. -- The study also identifies some important effects of the three dimensions of a firm's organisational context - its attributes, internationalisation behaviour and host country experience - on its assessment of FDI and IJV formation in a country. -- More emphasis on aggressive FDI motives, less concerns relating to cultural dissimilarity with the host country, greater expectation of contributions from IJV partners and an inclination to accept lower ownership interest in IJVs tend to differentiate the FDI behaviour of Australian firms from others dealt with in some earlier studies. Having identified, a suitable partner, Australian firms have a positive perception of the IJV formation process in India, with no issues presenting any significant hindrance to FDI. -- The target audience of this study includes potential Australian and other investors in India, policy planners in India and other developing countries and academics involved in FDI and IJV research.

De, Souza Drummond Elizabeth Lucy. "The effectiveness of the South African double taxation relief provisions for South African companies investing in other African estates." Diss., University of Pretoria, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/2263/26831.
Abstract:
South Africa has expressed its desire to be the gateway for investment into Africa. With its residence-based tax system which taxes the worldwide income of its tax residents, South African companies will be open to double taxation where the investee country claims jurisdiction to tax income generated from within its borders. In addition, other provisions in the South African tax legislation increase the possibility of double taxation by including the income of foreign subsidiaries. Two such examples are the definition of a tax resident, which includes foreign subsidiaries that are effectively managed by their holding companies in South Africa, and the anti-avoidance measures, such as the controlled foreign company provisions, which impute the income of a foreign subsidiary to the South African investment company. Many South African companies have chosen to route their investments in African countries through foreign subsidiaries. Besides having a more investor-friendly tax regime, these countries offer more favourable relief from double taxation, both unilaterally and by means of their network of tax treaties. South Africa has identified some of its shortcomings. It has introduced concessionary tax provisions for locally based headquarter companies that invest abroad. It recognises the high cost of doing business in Africa due to the fact that many African countries impose withholding taxes on several types of income even though they may not be from a local source. Therefore, South Africa is granting tax rebates for foreign withholding taxes paid on service fees charged to foreign entities despite the income being derived from a South African source. Both these measures reduce double taxation but, are they sufficient to encourage direct investment from South Africa into other African countries? This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the South African double taxation relief provisions by using a case study of a South African company that has investments in several African countries. It compares the application of the double taxation relief provisions of South Africa, another African country and a non-African country to the case study. It analyses the outcomes and assesses the effectiveness of South Africa’s current legislation for unilateral tax relief and its tax treaties in minimising double taxation. Finally, it makes some recommendations on possible improvements to the legislation in order to achieve the stated goal of being the financial hub for investment into Africa AFRIKAANS : Suid Afrika het aangedui dat dit die poort vir belegging na Afrika wil wees. Die heffing van belasting op die wêreldwye inkomste van belastingpligtige inwoners stel Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappye egter bloot aan dubbelbelasting indien die land waarin beleggings gemaak word ook aanspraak maak op die reg om inkomste wat in daardie land verdien is, te belas. Sekere bepalings in die Suid-Afrikaanse belastingwetgewing stel belastingbetalers verder bloot aan dubbelbelasting indien die inkomste van buitelandse filiale ook by die inkomste van inwoners ingesluit moet word. Twee sulke voorbeelde sluit die definisie van belastingpligtige inwoner ingevolge waarvan buitelandse filiale wat effektiewelik deur hulle houermaatskappy in Suid-Afrika bestuur word en sekere teenvermydingsmaatstawwe, soos byvoorbeeld die beheerde buitelandse maatskappy bepalings ingevolge waarvan die inkomste van ʼn buitelandse filiaal aan ʼn Suid-Afrikaanse beleggingsmaatskappy toegeskryf word, in. Daar is heelwat Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappye wat verkies om hulle beleggings in Afrika deur middel van filiale wat in ander lande geregistreer is, te hou. Hierdie gekose lande het nie net gunstige belasting instellings bewinde nie maar bied ook meer voordelige verligting van dubbelbelasting, beide eensydig en deur middel van hulle netwerk van belastingooreenkomste, aan. Suid-Afrika het sy tekortkominge geidentifiseer. Voordelige belastingbepalings is geskep vir plaaslike hoofkantoor maatskappye wat beleggings in die buiteland hou. Erkenning is gegee aan die hoë koste om besigheid in Afrika te doen as gevolg van die feit dat menige Afrika-lande belasting op verskeie tipe inkomste weerhou selfs as die oorsprong van die inkomste nie vanuit daardie lande kom nie. Suid-Afrika is gewillig om belastingkortings vir die buitelandse belasting so weerhou toe te staan ten spyte daarvan dat die oorsprong van die inkomste in Suid-Afrika is. Beide die maatstawwe is gemik op tot die vermindering van dubbelbelasting, maar is dit voldoende om direkte beleggings vanaf Suid-Afrika in ander Afrika-lande aan te moedig? Die doelwit van hierdie studie is om te bepaal hoe effektief die Suid-Afrikaanse bepalings wat gemik is om dubbelbelasting te verhoed deur middel van ‘n gevallestudie van ʼn Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappy wat meervoudige beleggings in verskeie Afrika-lande het. Die studie vergelyk die toepassing van die vermindering van dubbelbelastingbepalings van Suid-Afrika, ʼn ander Afrika-land en ʼn nie-Afrika-land. Die resultate word geanaliseer en die effektiwiteit van die huidige wetgewing vir eensydige verligting van dubbelbelasting en die huidige belastingooreenkomste om dubbelbelasting te verminder, word beraam. Ten slotte, die studie beoog ook om aanbevelings wat dalk die wetgewing kan verbeter ten einde die gewensde doelwit om Suid Afrika die finansiële poort vir beleggings in Afrika te bereik, te maak.Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

Clerie, Isabelle. "Considerations for Global Development and Impact using Haiti as a Case Study." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2017. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1062914/.
Abstract:
As the world becomes more connected, issues surrounding sustainable development are coming to the fore of global discussions. This is exemplified in strategies such as the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), released in 2015, which created a framework for global development that defines specific goals for issues like poverty, climate change, and social justice. To complement the analysis that went into defining the SDGs, capital allocations around the world are becoming more impact focused so that the paradigm of development is shifting from donations to impact investments. The push for impact, however, has led to a homogenization of global challenges like reproductive health and poverty. This, in turn, has led to a standardization of information resulting in agencies designing interventions based on data and information that is misguided because of incorrect assumptions about a specific context. This paper explores how the decision-making mechanisms of global development agencies and investors could apply more anthropological processes to mitigate negative impact. As the development sector becomes more and more standardized, anthropologists can act as translators between affected communities and the institutions deciding how best to help them.

Aiyadurai, Janusa, and Mathias Brenckert. "A Comparative Study on Green Mutual Equity Fund’s Financial Performance : International vs Domestic Fund Composition." Thesis, Umeå universitet, Företagsekonomi, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-172469.
Abstract:
In this thesis the relationship between regional composition and risk-adjusted performance is evaluated concerning Swedish issued green mutual equity funds. By using three different indices; Sharpe, Jensen and Treynor, a relationship has been able to establish. The study finds no strong relationship between geographic composition and performance concerning any of the indices and thus the impact of diversifying one's portfolio has little impact. By using the Modern Portfolio Theory, Stewardship Theory, Home Bias Theory and Behavioral Finance Theory a theoretical discussion has been established in order to further examine and analyze the fundamental dynamics of this relationship. Lastly, model risk and other variables impact on performance has been investigated. Our study finds a potential model risk since our three indices results disparate. Further, ESG related factors and Morningstar ratings seem to impact performance greater than regional composition.

Pivarči, Michal. "Rozhodčí řízení v mezinárodních investičních sporech." Master's thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2009. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-18188.
Abstract:
The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the arbitration as a means of settlement of international investment disputes. The reason for my research is the dynamic growth in number of international investment disputes which appears to examine the adaptability and viability of international law. The thesis is composed of four chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of the problems. Chapter One is introductory, it defines basic terminology used in the thesis and deals with the means of investment protection. The chapter is subdivided into four parts. Parts One to Three describe the fundamental terms such as international investment law, international investment and investor from economic and legal points of view. Part Four describes the historical background and the current state of foreign investment protection. Chapter Two focuses on international arbitration as a means of investment disputes settlement. It mentions several possibilities and analyses the two predominant ones - the arbitration mechanisms of the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and the ad hoc arbitration using the UNCITRAL rules. Chapter Three investigates the position of States in these disputes. It is subdivided into three parts. Part One compares the sovereignty of States with the substantive rights of the investors. Part Two examines the relation of this system to public law and Part Three questions the interests of private arbitrators. Chapter Four provides an outline of relevant Czech case law. Although it has not been very abundant up to the present day, it illustrates well the approach to decision-making by some arbitration courts and common faults of State agencies when addressing foreign investors. Conclusions are drawn in the final part of the thesis. The main aim of the thesis is to expand my initial hypothesis that international investment arbitration forms an unprecedential system, which addresses the balance between the interests of private investors and sovereign States. The standards of investment protection as described thereinbefore appear to be a powerful instrument to strengthen the position of foreign investors. Finally, several changes in the legislation and international treaties, which would equilibrate the balance back, are suggested in the Conclusion.

Farský, Samuel. "Portfolio construction and international diversification during crisis." Master's thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2014. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-201074.
Abstract:
Portfolio diversification is a procedure by which investor allocates and divides his or her funds into different type of securities. Unlike the investing all the funds solely into one security, diversification enables to reduce the risk of an investment by splitting one big risk into several small, unrelated risks. This master thesis examines the problem of diversification during a financial crisis, when usually the risk of an investment and uncertainty of future incomes from investment is relatively higher. The main goal of this thesis is to define whether is it more efficient and beneficial to diversify the portfolio solely from national securities or conversely to diversify internationally. In the theoretical part, it offers literature background on topics related to capital market, fundamentals of portfolio and fundamental analysis. In the empirical part it examines the risk and return of three national portfolios on monthly basis during a 10-year investment period, which is separated into three individual periods, in order to better observe the impacts of crisis. In order to fulfill the main goal of the thesis, composite international portfolio was constructed and observed on the same manner as the three national portfolios. Afterwards the outcomes were compared and conclusions were stated. Internationally diversified portfolio has not achieved remarkably better result than individual national portfolios. Therefore, it may be concluded that there is no strong need for an investor to diversify his or her portfolio internationally, as it does not show better results as nationally diversified portfolios.

Abstract:
Föreliggande rapport är resultatet av sex intervjuer kompletterade med litteraturgranskning. Rapporten speglar den pågående debatten kring studieavgifter. Den redovisar, inspirerad av diskursanalytisk metod, tre skilda diskursiva debatter dvs. lärosätets, individens, samhällets, på två diskussionsområden - kompensatoriska åtgärder samt möjligheter, fördelar/styrkor. Rapporten påvisar de problem och lösningar som förts fram inom dessa. Respondenterna lyfter fram att studieavgifter handlar om ett ömsesidigt investeringsproblem för framtida välfärd – för individen såväl som för samhället. Respondenterna pekar också på att samverkan mellan departement behövs liksom företagsstöd för industristipendier eftersom full kostnadstäckning behövs. Brister i investering blir ett dilemma som långsiktigt påverkar Sveriges välfärd och även den enskilda studentens välfärd, i synnerhet för den som inte själv har ekonomiska resurser. Fem av sex respondenter har den samlade synen på avgifter att kravet på full kostnadstäckning inte är rimligt utan ett välfungerande stipendiesystem och innebär att vi förlorar alltför många studenter. Den preliminära lösningen är att vidta kompensatoriska åtgärder samt att regeringen tillskjuter medel, säger studieanordnarna. Jag drar slutsatsen att vi ännu inte är redo för att ta hand om konsekvenserna av avgifter och att samverkansdebatten knappt påbörjats.This paper is based upon six interviews completed by making a literature examination. The paper reflects the current debate on tuition fees. It shows, inspired by a discourse analysis method, three separate discursive debates i.e. higher education, the individual, the society, in two areas of discussion – compensatory measures and potentials, advantages/ stability. The paper demonstrates the problems and solutions put forward in these areas. The respondents highlight that tuition fees are about a mutual investment problem for future welfare - for the individual as well as the society. The respondents also point out that there needs to be collaboration between the ministries, as well as financial support for industrial scholarships because costs need to be completely covered. Lack in investment becomes a dilemma that affects Sweden’s welfare and even the students individual welfare in the long term, particularly for the one who does not have own economic resources. Five of six respondents have an overall view on tuition fees that indicate the demands on full cost coverage is not reasonable without a well-functioning scholarship system and results in us losing too many students. The preliminary solution is to take compensatory actions and that the government contributes funding, the study providers say. I conclude that we are not yet ready to deal with the consequences of tuition fees and that a collaborative debate has just begun.

Husová, Kateřina. "Efficiency in international climate funds." Master's thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2009. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-16841.
Abstract:
In years long negotiations on the new global climate change regime, financial support provided for adaptation and mitigation in developing countries have been one of the most contentious issues. Billions dollars are in questions annually, disbursed both by private investments, as well as substantially via public funds. The fundamental question resonating in the negotiations and elsewhere though is the issue of efficient delivery. Given the scale of resources, which should be mobilized and disbursed, given the current experience with inefficiencies in ODA, given the fact that existing climate change funds are now disbursing millions but not billions, the efficiency is really the key for success of future climate regime. Moreover, efficient delivery is a pre-condition for "preventing dangerous interference with climate change", which is the ultimate goal of climate change policy enshrined in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change envisages. It is a widespread belief that inefficiency in disbursing public funds remains at the recipient's side. This paper tries to approach the efficiency question at the case of the Global Environment Facility, the Kyoto Protocol Adaptation Fund and the World Bank Climate Investment Funds. It asks the question whether the existing funding mechanisms in climate change are set up optimally in order to disburse funds efficiently. When looking at their internal policies and guidelines, it focuses on the four leading questions -- how can funds be accessed, who decides, who and how implements and how are funds held accountable. It finds that there are major differences between the tree funds in how and by whom are priorities and objectives decided, what are the fund's requirements on recipients, and how does the fund control the efficiency of its spending. This paper brings an in-depth analysis of weak and strong policies in existing climate change funds with regard to efficient delivery.

Abstract:
The theme of this thesis is focused on international tax planning with a narrower specification using offshore companies and all on the field of investment banking. The task of this thesis certainly does not an accurate tax analysis of individual taxes paid standardly in the classic onshore countries. On the contrary, the intention is to provide a wider range of options which the international tax planning can offer to us and what are the specifics of individual, for us certainly attractive, countries or in which cases we should already start to think to optimizing the tax in the international context. I will use Czech-Slovak investment J & T group to analysis mentioned above.

Mezgebu, Deborah. "Kvalitativ studie: svenska pensionsinstitut : Internationell investeringsstrategi mot fastigheter." Thesis, KTH, Fastigheter och byggande, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-213131.
Abstract:
Det finns det goda argument för internationell portföljdiversifiering: marknader rör sig inte synkroniserat och genom att exponera mot olika marknader minskar den totala risken i portföljen. Mogna kapitalmarknader, där stora institutionella investerare har ett strukturellt överutbud av kapital, kan välja att förflytta en del kapitalöverskottet utomlands. Genom att flytta kapital till andra tillväxt- eller utvecklingsstäder, kan lika eller bättre avkastning erhållas samtidigt som risken i portföljen diversifieras. Internationell diversifiering medför även en del hinder och risker, men många av dessa har idag minskat i betydelse. En framgångsrik strategi syftar därför till att maximera fördelarna, samtidigt som man försöker undvika eventuella risker och hinder.I tidningen fastighetsvärden skrevs hösten 2016 att ”Svenska fastighetsbolag förvärvar utomlands i en takt som vi inte upplevt sedan i slutet av 1980-talet. Fastigheter för 250 miljarder i 25 länder kontrolleras av 40 svenska bolag”. Medan svenska pensionsinstitut direkt eller via dotterbolag eller delägda bolag redan är stora aktörer på den svenska fastighetsmarknaden, kan man i efterdyningen av finanskrisen 2008, se mer av diversifiering mot såväl den internationella fastighetsmarknaden. Uppsatsen tar upp frågor kring hur och om man idag gör fastighetsförvärv utomlands med mindre risk och vilka förutsättningarna är för att genomföra en sådan övergång. Resultatet av den kvalitativa studien har därefter berikat till svar för huvudsyftet med den här uppsatsen; att ta reda på orsaken till det växande intresset för internationell diversifiering bland svenska pensionsinstitutioner. Den växande internationella diversifiering, har visat att man hittat en gynnsam strategi för att överkomma många av de hinder och risker en sådan övergång medför. Varför man väljer att investera utomlands kan således förklaras i två steg: den underliggande anledningen och den underliggande orsaken. Anledningen är att man vill diversifiera den totala portföljrisken och finna en stabil långsiktig avkastning. Orsaken är att Sverige har haft en lång och god tillväxt som inte är säkrad för framtiden, att det råder stor konkurens på en liten marknad som Sverige och att pensionsinstituten har ett kapitalöverskott. Alternativet är därför att söka sig utomlands, och då Sverige redan genererar god avkastning, har det mer handlat om att diversifiera genom olika sektorer på liknande ekonomiskt stabila marknader. Det innebär marknader som Finland, Tyskland och England genom att ingå partnerskap med lokala managers, vilket i en sådan internationell övergång verkar riskminimerande.There are good arguments in favor of international portfolio diversification: markets do not move in a synchronized way and thus by exposing to different markets, the overall portfolio risk reduces. In mature capital markets where large institutional investors have a structural surplus of capital, one can choose to move a portion abroad. By moving part of the capital to other emerging or developed markets, equal or better returns can be earned while at the same time the risk in the portfolio is diversifies. However International diversification implies some obstacles and risks, though many of these have today diminished in importance. A successful strategy therefore aims to maximize the benefits while trying to avoid possible risks and obstacles. In autumn of 2016 the Swedish newspaper Fastighetsvärden published an article stating that "Swedish real estate companies acquire abroad in a way we have not experienced since the late 1980s; Real estate for a value of 250 billion is controlled by 40 Swedish companies in 25 countries". While Swedish intuitions direct or through subsidiaries or joint ventures are at present major players in the Swedish real estate market; in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, one can see the reappearance of diversification towards the international real estate market. The thesis addresses questions concerning if and how to make real estate acquisition abroad with less risk and what the conditions are for implementing such a transition. The result of the qualitative study enriched the response to the main purpose of this essay; to validate the reason for the growing interest in international diversification among Swedish pension institutions. The increase in international diversification implies that a favorable strategy has been found to overcome many of the obstacles and risks entailed by such transition. Why one chooses to invest abroad can be explained in two steps: the underlying reason and the underlying cause. The reason is to diversify the overall portfolio risk and find a stable long-term return. However, the underlying cause for today’s investments are based on the good long-term growth Sweden has had, which is not secured for the future. Moreover there is capital surplus and big competition on a small market like Sweden. The alternative is therefore to go abroad, and as Sweden already generates good returns, it has been more about trying to diversify through different segments in similar economically stable markets. It means entering in markets such as Finland, Germany and England by joint ventures with local managers, which in such an international transition minimizes risk.

Markl, Jiří. "Strukturální analýza offshoringu." Master's thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2013. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-191992.
Abstract:
Off-shoring is a wide-spread instrument for strategic management of companies. According to OECD, 60% of global trade is carried out among subsidiaries of multinational companies. This thesis describes possibilities and methods of using off-shoring which are supported by examples of real companies. The thesis does not deal with off-shoring in the form of production transfer to another state, but with off-shoring in the form of earmarking certain activities, such as purchasing, sale, financing, intellectual property, which are the ways to real cost reduction by means of tax optimisation. Tax savings can thus be used for reducing direct production costs in situations when the production cannot be transferred or when investment costs of such transfer would be too high. It can be also used for off-shoring the production activity.

Fares, M'hand. "Contrats incomplets, cadre de renégociation, et incitations à investir : une application à la contractualisation dans le secteur gazier libéralisé nord-américain." Paris 1, 2000. http://www.theses.fr/2000PA01A056.
Abstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet de montrer que la théorie des contrats incomplets offre un corpus de résultats testables et de tester économétriquement ces résultats afin de comprendre les évolutions de la contractualisation dans le secteur gazier nord-américain après sa libéralisation. Dans une première partie, nous décrivons le processus de libéralisation du secteur gazier nord- américain et son impact sur les choix de contractualisation. Nous montrons tout d'abord que si la contractualisation spot est dominante aux États-Unis, on assiste au Canada au maintien de la contractualisation traditionnelle de long terme (chapitre 1 ). Les contrats de long terme protègent les parties contre l' effet de hold-up en stipulant des clauses de durée et de résolution des conflits qui sont incomplètes (chapitre 2). La deuxième partie constitue un détour théorique afin de donner des fondements à une théprie des contrats incomplets. L'incomplétude des contrats est définie en référence à un cadre de renégociation caractérisé par la double contrainte d'invérifiabilité et de renégociation (chapitre 3). En modifiant la contrainte de renégociation, nous revisitons les résultats en termes de droits de propriété de Grossman-Hart [1986] (chapitre 4). En faisant varier la contrainte d'invérifiabilité, nous mettons en lumière les conditions d'existence d'une solution contractuelle à l'effet de hold-up ainsi que les conditions d'endogénéisation de l'incomplétude (chapitre 5). La troisième partie permet de dériver des propositions testables de cette théorie. Un premier modèle montre que plus la durée des contrats est importante et plus l'investissement de l'acheteur est sécurisé. Les tests économétriques permettent de confirmer ce résultat (chapitre 6). Un second modèle montre que plus la clause d'arbitrage est incomplète et plus les incitations à investir sont élevées. Les tests ne confirment que de manière partielle ce dernier résultat (chapitre 7).

Abstract:
Syfte: Syftet med denna undersökning är att göra en komparativ studie mellan Sverige-och global aktiefonder för att vidare analysera vilka aktiefonder som ger högst avkastning. Metod: Uppsatsen bygger på en statistisk analys vilket sekundärdata ligger till grund för våra beräkningar. Genom tillämpning av kvantifierbar hård data där bland annat historiska aktiekurser ingår, så har en kvantitativ studie använts. Befintliga teorier och modeller har tillämpats. Slutsats: Studien visar i stort sett att högre risk ger en högre avkastning. Under period 1 presterade Latin Amerika fonderna bäst varefter Sverige fonder presterade bättre under period 2. Dessa marknader kan vara väldigt oberoende av varandra och tenderar därmed inte att följa varandras kursutveckingen. Slutsatsen är då att en investering i olika geografiska placeringar diversifierar risken mer. Exempelvis en investering i en svensk fond och en latin amerika fond.

Abstract:
German-Russian relations are one of the most important economic topics discussed at present. The relations are strong thanks to a mutual and elaborate co-operation built on the power and importance of both countries. The goal of this thesis is to portray German-Russian mutual relations and find an answer to the question whether Germany is dependent on Russian energy supplies. The thesis has two main parts: the first is focused on a comparison of German and Russian economies, the second addresses trade relations. The comparison is based on macroeconomic indicators and culture in both countries, also showing the difference in business activities. Moreover, international trade in goods and services and foreign direct investment are discussed as well and are considered to be the key part of the thesis. Foreign direct investment is illustrated with particular instances and projects, followed by a chapter on the current anti-Russian sanctions. This chapter is rather extensive and therefore has its own interpretation. Finally, the thesis presents an overview of present bilateral agreements and contracts, including the organizations and institutions supporting the German-Russian co-operation.

Abstract:
This thesis studies the identification and analysis of the impact of the latest economic crisis of 2008 on selected countries of the world with the purpose of identifying the relevance of channels through which the financial and economic crisis has spread to these countries. The thesis focuses on two regions of the world: Africa and Latin America. In both of these regions two countries are chosen to be analyzed more closely. These are Nigeria and Malawi for Africa, Brazil for South America and Belize for Central America. The possible channels of transmission of the crisis were identified to be private capital flows, international trade and commodity prices, remittances and international aid. In the analysis of the chosen countries, it was identified that the most important channels were international trade, commodity prices and capital flows. On the other hand the least impactful channels were remittances and international aid. These were rather stable during the crisis and in the case of aid even played a countercyclical role.

Abstract:
The Doctoral Thesis "Analysis of Trade Relations between the European Union and Latin America from 1995-2011" focuses on the determination Latin America's potential as a trading partner for the European Union. It will be based on an analysis of the region's trade relationships between 1995 and 2011 through different econometric models and a macroeconomic analysis. It will make recommendations for improving economic relation policies with Latin America and the European Union as well as identify the sectors which could represent great potential for trade between both regions. The research is divided into seven chapters: The first chapter covers international trade theory; this part comprises the theoretical aspects directly related to international trade. The second chapter analyzes the macroeconomic features of Latin American countries and compares them with data from the European Union. A separate, detailed analysis of 17 Latin American countries was performed and the potential of each one to make their importance known to the world and define their geopolitical position is described. The third chapter details the trade policies of the European Union and Latin America. The fourth chapter discusses trade relations between Latin America and the European Union through a look at the trade agreements that have been signed between the European Union and Latin American countries and tries to identify possible causes of failures for agreements not signed. This chapter also studies the sectorial composition of trade between the two regions, emphasizing the asymmetry between these trades flows as they enter the countries studied. The fifth chapter, the heart of this research paper, analyzes the trade relations between the EU and Latin America through a gravity model, identifying the obstacles and barriers to international trade between the two regions. The second part of this chapter discusses institutional factors, which, as a result of the conclusions from the gravity model explained earlier in the chapter, play an important role in international trade between Latin America and the European Union. This section contains a comparative analysis of the situation of the institutional factors in the 29 Latin American countries which were analyzed in the gravity model. This chapter also includes a trade simulation between the Czech Republic and Latin America with the institutional factors in Latin America showing a 10% improvement. In the sixth chapter, the competitiveness of 17 Latin American countries is calculated using the results of the barriers to international trade through a new method based on the comparison of indicators, ranked by dimension and according to the weight thereof for a period of time. The last chapter focuses on the identification of the variables determining foreign direct investment in Latin America, represented by 29 countries and over a period of time from 1995 to 2011. It considers variables traditionally not considered such as the number of patents registered, the tax rate and institutional factors, which have revealed important explanatory variables as well as those traditionally considered such as GDP, inflation, population, the share of GDP by sector, income level, etc. The last part of this research lists the conclusions reached and proposes recommendations for economic relations policy development between Latin America and the European Union.

Abstract:
It is possible that the economic condition of Europe after the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 prompted idea of trade liberalization. This diploma thesis deals with the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), a proposed free trade agreement between the European Union and the United States of America. Main goal of the thesis is to provide economic evaluation of the deal, and to assess the claim that TTIP would be beneficial for the European Union member states. Main used method is a theoretical analysis supplemented by regression analysis. The theoretical part is focused on basic economic principles of international trade and related concepts. Main tools used to assess this agreement are described in more detail as well. The analytical part deals with economic linkages between the two regions, with emphasis on the development and current status of non-tariff barriers to trade. The thesis also contains a summary of potential benefits and risks. Finally, a potential impact of TTIP on the Czech Republic and the issue of Brexit is presented. The European Union and the United States of America are linked by strong economic ties. However, trade barriers between those two entities still exist and hamper international trade. The analysis indicates that if the contract was to be impactful and significant, it must focus on a substantial reduction of bilateral non-tariff barriers to trade. This implies that TTIP could interfere with sectoral regulations. In addition, it is not certain that achieved revenues would be automatically higher than costs given the number of perceived risks. Panel data gravity models are used to quantify the potential impact of trade liberalization on export of goods of the EU28 countries to the USA. Significant elimination of trade barriers could increase EU exports to the USA by more than 20%.

Abstract:
The main aim of this dissertation is to analyze selected economic activities and economic relations occurring between the European Union and China. This dissertation is divided into four main chapters to ensure coherence and continuity throughout the research. The first chapter deals with the historical development of mutual cooperation between Europe and China. This chapter emphasizes recent events. The most extensive part of this work, the second section, addresses key areas of cooperation between the EU and China. Most of the research focus is devoted to trade economic relations and investment relations. Further, the second chapter addresses controversial areas within the mutual EU-China relations. In contrast with the second chapter, which looks at the mutual relations from the perspective of the whole EU, the third chapter distinguishes bilateral relations between two EU countries and China. The purpose of the third chapter is therefore to highlight the different approach of individual EU member countries. In the last chapter, I try to assess the growing influence of both the EU and China within the global economy. Finally, I outline the possible future development of the research topic.
