This thesis reports on the establishment of an extensive and detailed composite dataset to support country and regional-level econometric studies of FDI in Thailand. Several models have been estimated. At the country-level, an analysis of the determinants of FDI inflow to Thailand was undertaken based on a panel data set compiled from a number of investing countries over the period 1970-2004. At the regional-level FDI was studied by assembling, investigating and incorporating provincial-level data covering a panel dataset of 76 provinces over the period 1985-2005. It should be noted that the a

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.<br>ENGLISH SUMMARY: With diminishing sources of capital over the past two decades, developing countries have increasingly regarded the flow of foreign direct investment (FDI) as their main source of capital for development. In response to this, countries have also liberalised their policies, making their investment climate friendlier to FDI. This has been accompanied by increased competition amongst such countries to attract FDI, resulting in higher investment incentive packages offered by host governments to potential inves

Abstract:

This thesis explored the critical role of government policies in attracting and retaining Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Ghana. The study was motivated by the dearth of research on how government policies influence the attraction and retention of FDI in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. The paucity of studies on this issue is surprising in light of the active role that government policies and agencies have assumed in the last three decades in attracting inward FDI to Africa.

Abstract:

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows into South Africa have been very low for several decades, and this research examines the reason(s) why this has been the case since 1994. There is a common belief amongst economists that there is a positive relationship between the amount of FDI received and economic growth, thus the desire to attract greater FDI inflows. A literature review was conducted to establish the determinants of FDI globally and then data were collected and assessed to test which causes are most important. The performance of developing nations in attracting FDI was first compared

This paper attempts to investigate the degree to which organized crime affects FDI in 15 Latin America and Caribbean countries during 2006-2014 period.

We find evidence of a deterrent effect of organized crime on FDI inflows; in particular on FDI in secondary and tertiary sectors. On the contrary FDI inflows in more extractive industries - primary sector - are less affected by the prese

The debt crisis in the 1980s, a drop in commodity prices, and a decrease in international bank loans once again made FDI an attractive source of foreign capital.

The sales of multinational enterprises at around US$ 19 trillion were more than double the level of world exports. Substantial FDI inflows went into transition countries. Inflows into one of the region's largest recipient, the Russian Federation, almost doubled, enabling Russia to become one of the five top FDI destinations in 2005-2006. FDI inflow
