Foreign direct investment (FDI) has played a key role in the efforts to achieve a sustainable economic growth and high social and economic indicators in many countries and regions of the world. The paper focuses on the analysis of the role of foreign direct investment in the economy of Volgograd region. The author uses the comparative analysis, historical and statistical methods, and correlation analysis. The analysis of the indicators of 2011–2019 shows a small share of foreign direct investment in the gross regional product in Volgograd region in comparison with the Russian Federation, and insufficient provision of regional economy with labour resources. The comparison shows a discrepancy between the real needs and sectoral distribution of foreign direct investment in the regional economy. The research on the country and type composition of FDI in Volgograd region reveals some positive trends. The share of investments in the form of capital in comparison with the share of debt capital has increased; the share of off-shore foreign direct investment has decreased. The correlation analysis reveals a moderate or weak relationship between foreign direct investment and key economic indicators of Volgograd region, i.e. gross regional product, employment rate, average monthly income of the population, depreciation of fixed assets and labour productivity. The results show the need to develop special measures to maximize benefits from the cooperation of regional businesses and foreign investors in Volgograd region.

The researchers have aimed to analyse the processes of divergent development of Lithuanian regions by estimating the basic parameters of the process of interregional stratification. We have carried out an estimation of the process of differentiation using three parameters: per capita gross regional product (further GRP), per worker GRP and per capita foreign direct investment (further FDI) in a separate region. Using these indicators and the economic classical con vergence-divergence approaches of analysis, the principal dimensions of the unequal development of territorial units in Lithuania have been assessed.

Abstract The foreign direct investment movement is becoming increasingly important nowadays. Various studies are conducted to determine the influence of foreign direct investments on certain countries. That is why it is important and useful to evaluate and compare how foreign direct investments affect the economic indicators of the Baltic countries - countries having similar economies. Methods used in the analysis are: logical comparative and generalization methods, systematic literature analysis and methods of mathematical statistics. The results have showed that foreign direct investments have positive influence on economies through gross domestic product and labour productivity growth in all Baltic countries, though foreign direct investments do not influence the unemployment rate in all Baltic countries

Research background: In recent years, special attention has been given to the research direction regarding the study of economic, social, and demographic aspects of regional development. This direction is especially important for transition countries, including Ukraine. Despite that, there is a lack of research studies in which interdependencies of economic and demographic indicators of Ukraine’s regions are investigated. Purpose of the article: The paper assesses the relationships between the selected indicators of Ukrainian regions (export of goods per capita, foreign direct investment per capita, and the average resident population) and gross regional product per capita. Methods: Research results were compared in the periods before and during the military conflict in the eastern part of the country, based on regional data for 2010 and 2015. We used a multiple linear econometric model and tested multicollinearity. Findings & Value added: The analysis confirms that there is a positive correlation between export of goods and gross regional product and between foreign direct investment and gross regional product. That is why it is necessary to pay attention to the effective use of existing trade opportunities, especially within the framework of the Ukraine — EU Association Agreement, and to elaborate directions for further expansion of export activities. It is important to provide simpler and more understandable conditions in order to attract foreign investments in Ukrainian regions. Our study also shows that there is no influence of the average resident population on gross regional product. In many aspects, the interaction between demographic and economic components takes place through the labour market. This situation indicates that insufficient attention is given to regional employment issues, and the quantitative and structural imbalance is observed on the labour market at the regional level. In our opinion, to improve the situation, targeted activities should be elaborated on in the frame of regional development programmes.

The Relationship

The article is devoted to the use of analysis and assessment methods for the development of the regional economy, based on a system of interrelated indicators characterizing the state and development of the region’s economy. One of these key statistics is gross regional product. Based on the gross regional product, an assessment is made of the results of production, the level of socio-economic development, the volume of material wealth of the population, the rate of economic growth, etc. The specifics of the conditions of the regional economic system, with the leading role of territorial factors in the development of socio-economic processes in the region, requires the need to formulate new approaches to assessing and analyzing the development of the regional economy that meet the requirements of a market economy. The basis of such approaches is the mechanism of using econometric methods in the process of economic and mathematical modeling of gross regional product in order to show the relationship and interdependence between the main economic indicators of the region. Using an analogue of the model L. R. Klein, the authors of this article built a system of simultaneous equations that establish the relationship between the gross regional product (GRP) and the aggregate of the main regional indicators of the Altai Territory based on statistical information from the Federal State Statistics Service in the Altai Territory. The construction of such an econometric GRP model will allow for continuous monitoring and diagnostics of the main generalizing economic indicators of the region, relying on the identified causal relationships between them, as well as identifying regional factors in the structure of the GRP, contributing to the acceleration of the socioeconomic development of the region, both in terms of the conditions for their formation and increase the efficiency of their use, and in ensuring sustainability and determining forecast estimates of the region’s economy. Based on the constructed model, the article analyzes the interconnections and interdependencies of the gross regional product on the cost of fixed assets, investments, the actual volume of household consumption and other economic indicators in comparable prices in 2016.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assess the relationship between South Africa's foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic fundamentals at the municipal level.Design/methodology/approachThe paper develops a data set and an econometric model to analyze FDI flows at the municipal level in South Africa.FindingsThe empirical results derived from municipal level data support the findings in some of the established literature (which for the most part uses country‐level data) and indicates: that FDI tends to flow to areas with high factor (capital, labour and land) productivity; and that increases in higher labour productivity lead to higher investment.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper has used a cross‐section of municipalities. A further area of research would be to carry out a similar exercise with panel data.Practical implicationsThese findings indicate that FDI flows can be considered at the municipal level and this justifies the need for careful selection of the geographic basis for economic policy and development planning.Originality/valueWhereas most studies on FDI use country‐level data as standard geographic units of analysis, this paper analyzes FDI flows at the municipal level.

Investment In China

This study aims to explore the influence of fiscal transparency on foreign direct investment (FDI, hereafter) in China under the consideration of the spatial dependence of FDI. The study adopts panel data for 30 provinces from 2010 to 2014 to estimate a one-way fixed-effect spatial Durbin model. The primary finding of this study is that a higher level of fiscal transparency will attract more FDI, while keeping other factors constant and considering the spatial dependence of FDI. Other explanatory variables, such as gross regional product and the density of railways, also have statistically significant influences on FDI. Consequently, this study suggests that the Chinese local governments should improve their fiscal transparency in order to attract more foreign capital and further stimulate their economic development as well as China’s economic growth as a whole.
