One of the most important conditions for the successful process of economic restructuring of transition countries including Balkans region is the opening of these economies towards foreign investors.This paper surveys the effects of outward foreign direct investment in the countries of Western Balkan (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia) in the period between 2005 until 2015.  In all these countries FDI is often highly welcomed by government officials because they expect these capital flows to have a positive impact on home country exports, GDP, employment rate, as well as positive effects on the balance of payments i.e. on narrowing current account deficit.The main hypotheses in the paper are tested econometrically and we identify weak correlation between foreign direct investment on the one side and export, GDP and employment rate on the other side.  While in the most countries we found statistically significant correlation between FDI and current account deficit.

This study aims to determine the one-way causality relationship between foreign investment and economic growth, a one-way causality relationship between economic growth and foreign investment, and a two-way causality relationship between foreign investment and economic growth in Indonesia. This was conducted in Indonesia, the data are secondary data taken using the method time series from 1971 to 2018 from the official websites, the Investment Coordinating Board, and literature sources, Foreign Investment and Gross Domestic Product. (1) in the long run the Economic Growth variable has a significant effect on Foreign Direct Investment, and vice versa; and (2) the Foreign Direct Investment variable has a significant effect on Economic Growth; (3) in the short term, the Economic Growth variable has an influence on Foreign Direct Investment, and vice versa; and the Foreign Direct Investment variable has an influence on Economic Growth. It is possible to have a better long-term relationship, bringing positive impact on economic growth in Indonesia when investment in Indonesia increases. Conversely, when economic growth decreases, it means that foreign investment is also low. Granger Causality test, shows a two-way causality relationship between Economic Growth and Foreign Direct Investment and vice versa. It is necessary to maintain growth to attract foreign direct investment, as well as foreign investment. Investment climate needs to be improved enabling to invest in Indonesia.

The IT sector continues the main drivers of development in India, contributing nearly 72 percentage of its added gross value in 2017-18. However, this sector's growth in 2017-18 was moderate to 8.2 percent compared to 9.7 percent in the past year, although it remains greater than the IT sector, a main driver in FDI is frequently found in the open economy, a growth in investment assumes significant against the backdrop of widening current account deficit and trade deficit the country’s current account deficit is likely touch 2.8 percent of GDP 2018-19 on the IT sector, has increased its contribution to India has been rapidly moving upwards on the technology adoptions curve to improve and deliver leading it has excelled in business developing innovative solution and collaborating larger firms to meet the current needs of the IT sector. which offers a qualified workforce and excellent growth prospects for investors compared to tightly regulated in Foreign Direct Investment, perhaps it needs not only capital investment, but as well as technology. It could be included that the analyzed trend values are preferred to FDI inflows in IT Sector

The subject of this paper is an analysis of advantages and disadvantages of international investments - foreign direct investment (FDI) with a brief overview of the Republic of Serbia and its level and structure of FDI. Foreign direct investment is an important factor in development, especially in developing countries and countries in transition. Countries in transition, which includes Serbia and all Western Balkan countries feel a lack of capital, so it is important for them to fill the gap with foreign direct investment. For countries with current account deficits, FDI is used to increase exports and alleviate current account deficit problems. Based on experience and theoretical consideration, the paper points out the necessity of changes in our business environment, in order for Serbia to use foreign direct investments (with all its negative characteristics) which can and must give a special contribution and impetus to its economic growth.

In this study, countries were analyzed between 1990 and 2011 in order to determine whether a causal relationship exists among current account deficit, GDP, foreign direct investment, and total credits of G7. Analysis took into account the cross-sectional dependence and was applied to test the causality among the variables form the panel. Firstly, panel unit root tests were used for determining stationary of variables. As a result of the panel unit root tests, it was found that GDP and foreign direct investment have a stationary structure and that total credits and current account deficit contain unit root. In order to see whether there is a long-term relationship among the variables or not, the panel co-integration test was used. As a result of the test, it was concluded that there is a co-integration relationship among the series. The possibility of a causal relationship was analyzed among the variables using the causality test developed by Elena Ivona Dumitrescu and Christophe Hurlin (2012). Results of the analysis showed a unidirectional causal relationship from current account deficit and foreign direct investment to GDP. Bidirectional causality was found between current account deficit and total credits. Finally, a unidirectional relationship was found from foreign direct investment to current account deficit and total credits.

Subject The Philippines's current account deficit and foreign investment problems. Significance The Philippines has just said July was the fourth consecutive month in which exports increased, but the current account deficit is nonetheless widening. Meanwhile, foreign direct investment (FDI) pledges are down. President Rodrigo Duterte’s government has identified four items of legislation to boost FDI, but they are struggling to make their way through Congress. Impacts GDP growth for 2019 will likely be close to 6%, but below the government’s targeted 6-7%. Recent declines in iron and steel imports suggest there will be bottlenecks in developing infrastructure. The hardship experienced by rice farmers following the introduction of a rice tariff could be a major issue in the 2022 elections.

The Relationship

Current Account Deficit is one of the major macroeconomic problems facing India. In this paper, we have tried to investigate the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and current account in the context of India. Using the Toda-Yamamoto (T-Y) granger causality technique for the period 1975-2009, our results indicate that FDI and current account are co-integrated in the long run. There is evidence of unidirectional causality from FDI to current account. Furthermore, the analysis of FDI and international trade components (Exports and Imports), which are the major constituents of current account, supports our results of granger causality. Also, an attempt has been made to provide for the impact of FDI on current account through impulse response function.

Abstract The aim of this research is to asses the hypothesis that foreign direct investment (FDI) and international trade have had a positive impact on innovation in one of the most significant economies in the world, the United States (U.S.). To do so, the author used annual data from 1995 to 2010 to build a set of econometric models. In each model, 11 in total) the number of patent applications by U.S. residents is regressed on inward FDI stock, exports and imports of the economy as a collective, and in each of the 10 SITC groups separately. Although the topic of FDI is widely covered in the literature, there are still disagreements when it comes to the impact of foreign direct investment on the host economy [McGrattan, 2011]. To partially address this gap, this research approaches the host economy not only as an aggregate, but also as a sum of its components (i.e., SITC groups), which to the knowledge of this author has not yet been done on the innovation-FDI-trade plane, especially for the U.S. Unfortunately, the study suffers from the lack of available data. For example, the number of patents and other used variables is reported in the aggregate and not for each SITC groups (e.g., trade). As a result, our conclusions regarding exports and imports in a specific SITC category (and the total) impact innovation in the U.S. is reported in the aggregate. General notions found in the literature are first shown and discussed. Second, the dynamics of innovation, trade and inward FDI stock in the U.S. are presented. Third, the main portion of the work, i.e. the econometric study, takes place, leading to several policy applications and conclusions.
