Globalisation, FDI, Regional Integration and Sustainable Development available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This title was first published in 2002: Anthony Bende-Nabende focuses on the ongoing globalization process, which has sparked an unprecedented world-wide debate. He provides a one-stop centre for a balanced coverage of the theoretical, empirical and policy issues linking globalization with foreign direct investment, regional economic integration, and economic growth and sustainable development. This stimulating book comprehensively explores the theoretical and empirical literature inter-linking the aforementioned factors from the anti-globalization activists’ viewpoint, and from the pro-globalization proponents’ perspective. It proposes policies that individual countries should pursue, based on the recognition that globalization generates both positive and negative effects. These comprise policies required to maximise the economic benefits globalization may generate, and those that aim to eliminate or at least minimize the negative development-oriented effects globalization may engender and, hence, to propel sustainable development. The book will be an essential guide for students, academics and those involved in international economics, environmental studies, international relations, and growth and development studies.

Integration Through Foreign Direct Investment available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Hunya (research economist at The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies) explores whether foreign direct investment can contribute to the competitiveness of industries in central Europe and to narrowing the gap between these transition economies and countries within the European Union. Examining empirical data from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and Slovenia, he argues that foreign investment enterprises have higher allocative efficiency, promote macro- and microeconomic restructuring, and foster the restructuring of the manufacturing sector in accordance with the host countries' comparative advantages. Some negative factors are explored, but Hunya argues that, on the whole, foreign direct investment leads to greater competitiveness. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

World Market Integration Through the Lens of Foreign Direct Investors available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Albuquerque, Loayza, and Serven analyze the unparalleled increase in foreign direct investment to emerging market economies in the past 25 years. Using a large cross-country timeseries data set, the authors evaluate the dependence of foreign direct investment on global factors or worldwide sources of risk (that is, factors that drive foreign direct investment across several countries). They construct a globalization measure that equals the share of explained variation in direct investment attributable to global factors. The authors show that the globalization measure has increased steadily for industrial and developing countries. For the full sample of countries, the globalization measure rose eightfold from 1985 to 1999. Furthermore, in recent years developing countries' exposure to global factors has approached that of industrial countries, particularly for Latin America. Finally, the globalization measure correlates strongly with measures of capital market liberalization. Overall, the authors find strong support for the hypothesis of increased market integration which implies a greater role for worldwide sources of risk. They discuss the implications of the results for public policies regarding capital market liberalization and policies directed at attracting foreign investment.This paper - a product of Macroeconomics and Growth, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to understand international capital flows.
