Agriculture represent one of the most important branches of the Romanian economy. Within performing the suggested analysis we started from the premise that the economy of each country, regardless of developing degree, agriculture, by natural and human resources available, by contributing to the creation of gross domestic product, of gross value added, but also by participating at internal and external trade, obviously holds an important position. Romanian rural economy is currently dominated in a large part by agriculture. Favorable geographical conditions, topography, climate, fertile soils, in addition with workforce, a suitable administrative system, but the connection of rural population to land and animals can make the Romanian agriculture as production branch attractive and profitable to determine economic growth at national level. Thus, we considered necessary to perform an analysis concerning the importance of Romanian agriculture, analysis that represents the basis for finding the most viable solutions to determine this particularly important branch - to relaunch in the development of Romanian rural economy.

In Japan, World War II was followed by a period of reconstruction and economic growth known as 'the Japanese Miracle'. Although the economic aspects of the nation's recovery are known, there is little emphasis placed on the social development efforts that facilitated this. Professor Hiroshi Sato, Chief Senior Researcher, Institute of Developing Economies; Japan External Trade Organization (IDE-JETRO), believes that social development policies are the precursor to economic growth and pave the way for social change. He is collaborating with other leading researchers on a range of projects to explore the links between social development and economic growth in developing countries. Sato is collaborating with: Professor Kazuko Tatsumi, Fukuoka University to investigate the rural livelihood improvement movement in post-war Japan; Professor Mariko Sakamoto, Aichi Medical University to explore the impact of Occupation policy on public health; and Associate Professor Mayuko Sano, Fukuoka Prefectural University to investigate the history of coal mining town Tagawa city. Sato believes that the rapid economic growth of developing countries without prior social development is unsustainable and widens the gap between rich and poor, with the distribution of wealth becoming unfairly biased towards the rich.

The automobile industry is the single largest industry in Germany. Demand for German car brands in foreign countries, including China, is strong as German car manufacturers enjoy reputation of high quality products. In recent years, several factors showed an effect on Germany's external trade development through a shift in the automobile sector. Globalization had an effect on external trade as developing countries try to push many exporting countries, including Germany, to manufacture locally. This is an ongoing trend that is supported by lower labor costs in developing countries. Boosting other sectors is one strategy to be less dependent on these developments and the focus on electric vehicles could ensure further exports. Economic growth in foreign countries remains one of the big opportunities for Germany's external trade development. However, it is important to take potential challenges and barriers into consideration, including environmentalism, strong competition, and new trends and business models that lead to less car ownership.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is believed to be an important determinant of economic growth in developing countries, but its impact varies across countries. Presence of other determinants (like domestic investment, inflation, infrastructure and external trade) may augment or retard the potential impact of FDI on economic growth. Moreover, due to the non-homogeneous nature of sectoral FDI, the sectoral composition may create differential impact on economic growth. Hence, it is necessary to identify and measure the differential impact of sector-wise (primary versus secondary versus tertiary sector) FDI inflow. Exploring the nature and behaviour of overall and sectoral FDI inflow in South Asian countries in the recent past, this article has taken a holistic approach in studying and analysing the FDI-growth dynamics. The study found that the impacts of FDI in South Asia are indeed influenced by sectoral composition of FDI.

In this chapter, the authors, operating the criteria of rigid and comfortable national taxation regimes, attempt to evaluate the stimulating impact of country's taxation systems on the dynamics of their macroeconomic growth and country's participation in the world trade. Therefore, the chapter presents the authors' conclusions concerning the efficiency of fiscal instruments for economic growth stimulation and external trade attractiveness increase as applied to the majority of contemporary states. Based on correlation of indices of tax reformations and trends of the modern countries macroeconomic development, the co-authors present their conclusions on the priority importance of the so-called “taxation comfort” in the context of country's positioning in the global rankings. Research proved a taxation effect in countries' macro-economic growth and external attractiveness stimulating, as well as this effect dependence on the level of countries material wellbeing and infrastructural conditions.
