INCREASING COMPETITIVENESS AND JOBS THROUGH FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS
2013
After 3 years of collapse, foreign direct investments (FDI) have reached a minimum level of the last 9 years, in 2011, meaning 1, 94 billion Euros, below the 2003 level. In the first 10 months of 2012, foreign direct investments have reached a level of 1,27 billion Euros, surpassing the similar period last year, as the economic growth was centered around 0,5 %. At this time, foreign direct investments represent one third of the current account deficit. Romania is objectively reliant on foreign capital due to its low degree of internal saving. Investors have chosen the automotive industry in Romania, a sector deemed competitive, due to cheap labor force, large market and substantial state ai…

It’s nothing to write home about : Finnish writers in the world of Anglo-American academic writing conventions
2009
Tämän tutkielman tarkoitus oli selvittää, minkälaiset englanninkieliseen akateemiseen kirjoittamiseen liittyvät ongelmat ovat yleisiä suomenkielisille ja suomalaiseen kirjoituskulttuuriin tottuneille opiskelijoille. Aihe on tärkeä, sillä tiedemaailma noudattaa pitkälti angloamerikkalaisen kirjoituskulttuurin konventioita, jotka eroavat monelta osin suomalaisesta kirjoituskulttuurista. Englanninkielisten tieteellisten tekstien kirjoittaminen ei ole tärkeää vain englanninopiskelijoille, vaan kaikkien alojen asiantuntijoiden on oleellista hallita asiaankuuluvat taidot. Vaikka suomenkielisten kirjoittajien ongelmia ja suomalaisen kirjoituskulttuurin eroja angloamerikkalaiseen vastineeseen verr…
Family networks and refugees’ health conditions. A picture from Italian informal settlements
2021
While the relationships between social networks and health are widely acknowledged in the literature, few of these studies have covered the population of refugees living in makeshift camps. In our analysis of a nationally representative Italian survey of individuals living in informal settlements, we find that many had weak family relations: only 10 per cent had one or more family members in their settlement. The paper analyses the effects of individual social network on two measures of health, and finds that the refugees’ health conditions were associated with both their personal characteristics and the characteristics of the settlement. The results show that more than 50 per cent of these…
EXPLORING THE OBSTACLES OF LATVIAN FOOD COMPANIES EXPORT TO CHINA
2016
As we know, China is the biggest trader in the world. European Commission has revealed that China has become the European Union (EU)`s second largest trading partner behind the United States, and EU is China`s biggest trading partner. This situation just proves the necessity of making good partnership with China, which is especially needed for such a small country as Latvia. The main export fields for Latvia are wood, metal, electrical devices and minerals. As the population of China is growing very fast, leading to more than one billion people in 2016 (increased for more than 41 million in last six years), the food market is in need of more and more products. Of course, Chinese market may …
An Analysis of the Residential Segregation of Foreigners in the Municipality of Palermo
2021
Ethnic residential segregation in Italy is emerging as a key question, which will be crucial in the definition and implementation of both urban and social policies. This chapter focuses on this phenomenon in the Italian Metropolitan Area of Palermo. We use individual data for all the population residing in the city on 31 December 2011, organised by ethnicity and neighbourhood to describe the spatial distribution and the residential segregation of foreigners in the city, applying many different segregation measures. Results show that the top ten nationalities in Palermo are not uniformly spread across the different parts of the city but tend to cluster in specific areas. The most segregated …

Educational Migration Trends Review in Poland (with Particular Emphasis on the Immigration of Ukrainian Youth)
2023
This article aims to review and synthesise research on educational migration in Poland, particularly youth immigration from Ukraine. The paper collects statistical data from 2004, which allowed for the analysis of the existing trends in educational migration in Poland. The research on the largest group of foreign students – citizens of Ukraine – was reviewed, which resulted in identifying research gaps regarding student mobility in Poland, both in terms of demand and supply of educational migrations. The practical implication appears to show that the governments of the host countries, the business sector, and the academic units – due to the increase in the number of foreign students – can e…
