Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic development has been widely debated. However, the real challenge is not only to examine the effect of FDI on economic development but to also investigate the most appropriate economic policies that are conducive to increasing levels of FDI. Ashraf Mishrif here addresses this challenge and examines the interplay between external and internal forces to determine whether recent EU-Egyptian trade agreements have led to any significant improvement in Egypt's investment environment and in the growth levels of European direct investment in the country. This important study makes a key contribution to our understanding of the inward investment strategies and options of the Arab World's most populous and powerful player. It will be an essential point of reference for all economists, bankers and investment advisors dealing with the Middle East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign direct investment (FDI) has grown dramatically and is now the largest and most stable source of private capital for developing countries and economies in transition, accounting for nearly 50 percent of all those flows. Meanwhile, the growing role of FDI in host countries has been accompanied by a change of attitude, from critical wariness toward multinational corporations to sometimes uncritical enthusiasm about their role in the development process. What are the most valuable benefits and opportunities that foreign firms have to offer? What risks and dangers do they pose? Beyond improving the micro and macroeconomic "fundamentals" in their own countries and building an investment-friendly environment, do authorities in host countries need a proactive (rather than passive) policy toward FDI? In one of the most comprehensive studies on FDI in two decades, Theodore Moran synthesizes evidence drawn from a wealth of case literature to assess policies toward FDI in developing countries and economies in transition. His focus is on investment promotion, domestic content mandates, export-performance requirements, joint-venture requirements, and technology-licensing mandates. The study demonstrates that there is indeed a large, energetic, and vital role for host authorities to play in designing policies toward FDI but that the needed actions differ substantially from conventional wisdom on the topic. Dr. Moran offers a pathbreaking agenda for host governments, aimed at maximizing the benefits they can obtain from FDI while minimizing the dangers, and suggests how they might best pursue this agenda.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Economics - Macro-economics, general, grade: A3, Hacettepe University (Department of Economics), course: International Political Economy, language: English, abstract: Growth economics is the branch of economics answering questions related to what are determinants of economic growth; whether is it possible to reach a maintainable growth rate on the long run, if it is preferable to let governments interfere in market performance in order to fasten rates of economic growth. Harrod and Domar attempted to answer these questions through applying Keynes economics for economic analysis. They found that savings and investments stable rates are the key for rapid long term growth especially in developing countries. Therefore, government intervention was needed to help stimulate savings and investments. Years later, Solow and Swan attempted to answer same questions through their neoclassical growth model. In this model, it was assumed that a maintained rising saving rates leads to transition from slow growth into fast growth path. This meant a focus on technological progress. However, part of the growth was not explained by growth in production factors which are capital and labor. Solow stated that this unexplained factor was the residual or total factor productivity. Therefore, government policies were assumed to be effective on aggregate output not on growth rates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Investment Development Path (IDP) hypothesis, there is a U-shaped relationship between a country's economic development and its net outward investment position. An emerging country should evolve from a position of net recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) to net exporter of FDI as its level of economic development increases. Under the combined pressure of global competition, trade and financial liberalization, privatization and regulatory reform, and faster and shorter product cycles, firms in emerging, transition, and developing countries are expanding overseas through FDI in greater numbers and at an earlier stage of their lifecycle. Much of the existing literature (albeit limited itself) examines this important new phenomenon in a small group of large emerging economies (Brazil, China, India, and Russia). This paper, on the other hand, covers Egypt, an under-researched country in an under-researched area (North Africa). Short of fully testing this hypothesis, this paper looks at the incipient internationalization of the Egyptian economy through the experience of a couple of its multinational corporations (MNCs), Orascom and Oriental Weavers. The paper starts by providing a brief description of the Egyptian economy and industrial structure. It highlights how Egypt, due to poor investment climate and broader geopolitical motives, receives limited FDI inflows, while outward FDI remains limited in size and scope. It then dwells in details into the international expansion of the two MNCs. The paper concludes by pointing to the importance of promoting corporate internationalization throughout an active policy to make the business environment more conducive to risk-taking, instead of rent-seeking, behaviors.

Book excerpt: Foreign direct investment (FDI) is being widely considered as an important vehicle for economic growth in least developed countries (LDCs). Egypt is a particularly interesting case to examine for a number of reasons. First, the recent increase in the inflow of FDI in Egypt, although important in itself, is still lower than what is expected. Second, the role of FDI in promoting output and the direction of causation is still unknown as little empirical research has been conducted in this field for Egypt. Most empirical studies of foreign direct investment (FDI) typically use either a cross- sectional or time series approach. The originality of the study is in the empirical investigation of these issues on the basis of a broad panel of sectoral data for Egypt. This thesis attempts to explore the determinants of MI at the sectoral level in the Egyptian economy by using a panel data of 10 sectors over the period from 1983 to 2004. The results highlight that private domestic investment, openness' to trade, and government policies towards reforming and improving business and investment climate are important determinants of sectoral FDI in Egypt. Second, it attempts to fill the empirical gap in the literature by re-examining the impact of FDI on productivity for a cross sectional sample of the Egyptian manufacturing sector from 1975 to 2005. The results reveal that foreign direct investment inflows exert a positive spillover effect on productivity. Finally, it aims to study the causal link between FDI and GDP by using a time series data from 1978 to 2009. The econometric framework of cointegration and error correction mechanism were used to capture two way linkages between FDI and GDP. It is evident that in the long run there is a bidirectional relation, while in the short run, causality runs from FDI to GDP.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Economics - Macro-economics, general, grade: A1, Hacettepe University (Faculty of Economics), course: Seminar ''Master Degree'', language: English, abstract: International trade and international investment flows has been a main feature of the globalization era. However, international flows of goods, services, labor, and knowledge among national borders is not a recent phenomenon. Since World War II, most countries attempted to increase the rates of their international trade flows due to the increased impact of foreign firms investing on their economic performance. When firms go international, they benefit from the increased international competition, and learn from their global operations. Moreover, these firms can help their domestic economies by providing foreign currency, enhancing domestic productivity, and employment opportunities which positively affect the national trade deficit.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The objective of this research is to critically examine the potential of Egypt’s central Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and therefore contribute in boosting the country’s economic development. In quest of achieving this objective, the research applies a qualitative methodological approach of a single case study analysis, where it investigates several legislative and institutional elements to understand the extent to which the structure of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) enables it to perform its role as the national agency responsible for investment promotion. The analysis explains various aspects that define the effectiveness of GAFI’s structure, such as the authority level, tools, degree of political autonomy, and the different promotional functions performed. The detailed scrutiny of different organizational and functional elements reveals that the overall structure of GAFI does not contribute to its likelihood of being an effective agency, and therefore exposes its limited role in promoting and facilitating private investments. The findings explain how GAFI’s legal status accounts for weakening its structure and further articulate how the Authority lags behind in performing the main promotional functions of image building, investment generation, investor servicing and facilitation, and policy advocacy; all of which that influence Egypt’s ability to attract foreign investment, enhance local economy and guarantee better linkages to global economy. Thus, the research offers some recommendations to help policy makers adopt better mechanisms that could enhance the performance of GAFI, such as, ensuring the separation between GAFI’s role as a regulator and executor on one side, and its role as promoter and facilitator on the other side.
