Our main finding is a strong empirical relationship from reforms to FDI, in particular, from financial liberalization and privatization. These results are robust to different measures of reforms, split samples, and potential endogeneity and omitted variables biases.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book offers a dynamic introduction to the new developments on national security review of foreign direct investment (FDI) from the perspectives of both domestic law and international investment law. COVID-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have intensified FDI screening to an unprecedented scale, yet its purposes, scope and potential impact remain ambiguous and controversial. The book first attests the legitimacy of FDI screening by using the theory of National Security Constitution. Part I explicates the national security, public order and public health exceptions clauses in international investment law and the novel EU Regulation on FDI screening. Part II provides an in-depth analysis of FDI screening in China, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and the UK, which have either witnessed momentous changes in domestic law recently or have adopted new laws to cope with the growing security concerns. The book illustrates how States and the EU are using legal instruments to tackle exigent and emerging challenges and the complexity of national security emanated from foreign investment, in the context of evolving disruptive digital technologies and the structural change of the global economy. The volume will be of great value to a wide range of audiences including academics in investment and trade law, legal practitioners, in-house counsels, policymakers, business professionals and law and business students at the graduate level.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →During the 1990s, the governments of South Asian countries acted as ‘facilitators’ to attract FDI. As a result, the inflow of FDI increased. However, to become an attractive FDI destination as China, Singapore, or Brazil, South Asia has to improve the local conditions of doing business. This book, based on research that blends theory, empirical evidence, and policy, asks and attempts to answer a few core questions relevant to FDI policy in South Asian countries: Which major reforms have succeeded? What are the factors that influence FDI inflows? What has been the impact of FDI on macroeconomic performance? Which policy priorities/reforms needed to boost FDI are pending? These questions and answers should interest policy makers, academics, and all those interested in FDI in the South Asian region and in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 16/20 ("sehr gut"), College of Europe, language: English, abstract: After having experienced an economic boom at the beginning of the 2000s subsequent to the admission to the Eurozone, which had been however mainly driven by low interests on financial loans to the private and the public sector, Greece became de facto insolvent in 2010. In the aftermath of a global financial, banking and economic crisis, the country’s public finances became problematic to an extent at which private investors were only willing to lend money to Greece at interest rates which it could no longer afford to pay. An official bankruptcy could only be prevented by a financial rescue programme granted by the other Eurozone members and the International Monetary Fund in May 2010, giving bilateral credits summing up to 110 billion Euros in order to service existing debt. The bailout programmes were granted on the condition of a “cash for reform approach”. One objective of this approach was to create economic growth and new jobs in the country afflicted by high unemployment rates for decades. Many economists however stated that Greece could only sustainably overcome its economic and public debt crisis if the country was to become more attractive for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
