Ārvalstu tiešo investīciju ietekmējošie faktori Latvijā
2015
Bakalaura darba „Ārvalstu tiešo investīciju ietekmējošie faktori Latvijā” galvenais mērķis ir izpētīt ienākošo ārvalstu tiešo investīciju ietekmējošos faktorus Latvijā. Balstoties uz zinātniskajiem pētījumiem, tiek noskaidroti iespējamie faktori, kas ietekmē ĀTI. Viena no darbā izmantotajām metodēm ir MKM daudzfaktoru regresijas analīze. Šajā analīzē tiek izmantoti ceturkšņu dati un aplūkotais periods ir no 2001. gada līdz 2014. gadam. Tiek noskaidrots, ka tirgus lielums, tirgus atvērtība un iegūldījumu atdeve pozitīvi ietekmē ienākošās ĀTI plūsmas Latvijā, kamēr tādi faktori kā inflācija, darbaspēka izmaksas, valūtas vērtība un ĀTI novēlotās vērtības netiek novērtēti kā statistiski nozīmīg…
AN ANALYSIS ON THE FDI FLOWS FROM EMERGING ECONOMIES TO EUROPE AND THEIR IMPACT
2014
After a concise setting of the context (by emphasizing on the FDI flows dynamics at the beginning of the 21st century through the lens of: annual inward and outward FDI flows between 2001 and 2013; annual contribution to IFDI flows and, respectively, to OFDI flows by group of countries – developed versus developing and transition ones), the paper analyzes the emerging market economies and the dynamics of their FDI flows (by using contextualization and comparisons). The main aspects targeted are: the dynamics of the outward FDI flows from EMEs comparative to the dynamics of the global outward FDI flows on annual basis, and the evolution of the specific weight of OFDI flows from EMEs in globa…
Ārvalstu tiešo investīciju piesaiste Uzbekistānai
2018
Bakalaura darba tēma ir Ārvalstu tiešo investīciju piesaiste Uzbekistānā. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir sistematizēt teorētiskos uzskatus un praktiskos pasākumus ārvalstu tiešo investīciju piesaistīšanai un identificēt investīcijām labvēlīgu vidi vietējā tautsaimniecībā ekonomiskās modernizācijas ietvaros. Darba pirmā, teorētiskā, daļa satur izpēti, pamatojoties uz ārvalstu tiešo investīciju piesaisti un stimulus ārvalstu tiešo investīciju piesaistei. Darba otrajā daļā tiek definētas ārvalstu tiešās investīcijas Uzbekistānā, galvenokārt no Uzbekistānas Republikas tiesību regulējuma par ārvalstu investīciju atvieglojumiem, kas paredzēti ārvalstu investoriem Uzbekistānā un ārvalstu tiešo investīc…
Model uncertainty and variable selection: an application to the modelization of FDI determinants in Europe
2019
Las últimas décadas han visto un interés cada vez mayor en la IED, y un debate creciente sobre su modelización en términos de las variables consideradas como sus determinantes, la especificación del modelo y los métodos de estimación del modelo de gravedad de la IED. Esto se debe a la incertidumbre que rodea tanto las teorías como los enfoques empíricos de la IED. Esta Tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo contribuir a la literatura mediante la investigación de las fuerzas impulsoras de las actividades de las EMNs hacia y desde los países europeos, tanto a nivel regional como nacional, abordando los problemas de selección de variables e incertidumbre del modelo que se enfrentan al modelizar la…
History Matters: Colonial‑Based Connectivity and Foreign Headquarter Location Choice
2022
AbstractIn this study, we argue that European countries’ extensive relationships with former colonies represent a location factor that attracts foreign headquarter investments. The strategic role of foreign headquarters as coordinators, opportunity detectors, and global bridgeheads makes the location choice of headquarter activities sensitive to historical-based institutional connections. Drawing on a sample of 2230 foreign headquarter investments in Europe, we find that the stronger the combined effect of historical connections and current economic relationships with former colonies, the higher the probability of attracting headquarter investment projects. We refer to this combined charact…
Are Energy Market Integrations a Green Light for FDI?
2015
This paper studies the effect of energy market integration (EMI) on foreign direct investment (FDI). EMIs diminish energy uncertainty and price volatility in the host country and affect FDI through two channels: first, by harmonizing energy prices and, second, by reducing price dispersion. FDI may, as a result, increase both within and outside the EMI area, through energy stability mechanisms and price mechanisms, respectively. An empirical application on a global dataset including bilateral FDI data, during 2003-2012, using the gravity equation, shows that the integration of Portugal and Spain's electricity market in 2007 increased the amount of FDI's participants. Additionally, a positive…
On the Location Attractiveness of Emerging Countries for Foreign Direct Investments
2016
Our paper investigates the FDI attracting potential of emerging markets by in terms of their location attributes. We use Statistical cluster analysis to study the dynamic evolution of emerging markets’ clusters, based on country attributes that are relevant for the MNEs location decision. We find that countries tend to be grouped at a geographical level or depending on the various resources they possess, except for China that clusters independently. Also, there are numerous countries’ transitions from one cluster to another over the years, which indicate a natural process of changing location attributes and market development for many emerging economies.
Crossing borders with social media: Online social networks and FDI
2017
Abstract Social media is embedded in today's internationalization strategy. Companies extend their reach into foreign countries by posting and tweeting. Firms also enhance their mobile capabilities in foreign markets (e.g., knowledge and reputation) through user-generated content in online social networks. Levering on the capabilities-based theory of the multinational enterprise, this paper builds upon a resource-based, industry/network-based, and institution-based view framework. The study provides a comprehensive conceptual and empirical model to explain the effect of social networks on foreign direct investment. Empirical analysis in a global panel dataset of >4500 multinational enterpri…
THEORIES OF THE MULTINATIONAL ENTERPRISES – TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES
2012
Multinational enterprises – as key determinants and results (in the same time) of the globalization process that characterize the economic world nowadays – know a lot of different approaches in the academic literature; this is a consequence of the refinement (in time) of the (firm’s) internationalization strategies and practices – which is determined, at its turn, by the continuous dynamics and challenges of the world economy. By this paper we would like to bring into attention two of these general theoretical frameworks; they were developed by Wladimir Andreff (into his 2003 book: Les multinationals globales), and Mats Forsgren respectively (into his 2008 book: Theories of the Multinationa…
