Foreign direct investment is of paramount importance at the international level, especially in developing countries, as many studies have shown its effective impact and its essential role in the medium and long term in advancing economic growth by stimulating GDP rates, providing employment opportunities, providing expertise and advanced technology. What prompted most Arab countries, including Algeria, to exert efforts in order to provide an appropriate investment environment to attract direct investment through a set of economic reforms, guarantees and facilities, and their conclusion of multiple bilateral agreements to encourage and protect the foreign investor.The research aims to know the extent of the impact of foreign direct investment on economic growth in Algeria for the period (2000-2017) by using standard analysis tools to identify the nature of the relationship between foreign direct investment and economic growth.The research also found that the gross domestic product has a positive relationship with foreign direct investment, that is, when foreign direct investment increases by one unit, this will inevitably lead to an increase in economic growth by (6.43). The research also recommends the necessity of adopting economic structural reform policies in line with the reality The Algerian economy, and working to develop and develop the financial markets through their size and tools, with an emphasis on the issue of legislation and laws that guarantee the regulation of capital investment flows.

The Impact

The global tourism market is accompanied by the constant changes in the market share of individual countries, the preferences of tourists and ways to satisfy their needs. In 2017, Europe, for example, dominated the tourism market with 51% of market share. However, the increase in Asia-Pacific participation compared to 2016 is as high as 24%, which indicates that the share of transnational companies in the region is increasing, not only in revenues, but also in tourism investments. Part of the investment is also directed to Bosnia and Herzegovina, which emphasizes inflows from Arab countries. Regardless of the type, investments in tourism are of particular importance to developing countries, because in addition to economic effects, they contribute to technology transfer, management experience and they also strengthen the cooperation between the state and the investor. The subject of this paper is foreign direct investment (FDI) in tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of foreign direct investment on employment in the tourism sector. Using the correlation regression analysis, the impact of foreign direct investments on the number of jobs in the accommodation and food and beverage industries was examined. The paper shows that there is a weak positive impact of FDI on the increase in the number of employees in the accommodation and food and beverage industries.

The Impact

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of Foreign Direct Investment, Gross Domestic Product, Energy Consumption, Electric Consumption, and Meat Consumption on CO2 emissions of 41 countries in the world using panel data from 1999 to 2013. After analyzing 41 countries in the world data, furthermore 17 countries in Asia was analyzed with the same period. This study utilized quantitative approach with Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression method. The results of 41 countries in the world data indicates that Foreign Direct Investment, Gross Domestic Product, Energy Consumption, and Meat Consumption significantlyaffect Environmental Qualities which measured by CO2 emissions. Whilst the results of 17 countries in Asia data implies that Foreign Direct Investment, Energy Consumption, and Electric Consumption significantlyaffect Environmental Qualities. However, Gross Domestic Product and Meat Consumption does not affect Environmental Qualities.

The Impact

This study dealt with the effect of foreign direct investment on the market value of the company during the period of time (2010-2017). This issue was studied through a sample of oil fields in southern Iraq in which the company operates within the first and second licensing contracts rounds and according to the circumstances and variables of the investment environment as it is. Although this investment often achieves high returns, it is also characterized by a high degree of risk and for the purpose of evaluating the impact of foreign direct investment on the market value of the company's stock prices for the period (2010-2017). The statistical scale (T-TEST) was used to indicate the significance of the correlation hypotheses. Between the return on investment as the independent variable and the market value as the dependent variable, and the use of the coefficient of determination (R2) that measures the effect of the independent variable (foreign direct investment) on the dependent variable (market value) and the F-Test to demonstrate acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis of the return on investing in the market value of the oil company, and if the company achieves a high return in foreign direct investment, the market value of it will be affected positively. The study was based on a set of goals, including determining the attractiveness of Iraq to foreign investments, especially the oil sector, and the study reached a number of conclusions, the most prominent of which is the existence of a strong inverse correlation between the return on investment and the market value of the company. And the existence of a slight impact of the return on investment on the market value of the company, and the study reached a number of recommendations, the most important of which is activating the investment climate through political stability and the clarity and stability of laws and legislation regulating investment, which is one of the most important factors affecting the investment decision.

The Impact

With the development of economic globalization, some local environmental pollution has become a global environmental problem through international trade and transnational investment. This paper selects the annual data of 30 provinces in China from 2000 to 2017 and adopts exploratory spatial data analysis methods to explore the spatial agglomeration characteristics of haze pollution in China’s provinces. Furthermore, this paper constructs a spatial econometric model to test the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and industrial structure transformation on haze pollution. The research results show that the high-high concentration area of haze pollution in China has shifted from the central and western regions to the eastern region and from inland regions to coastal regions. When FDI increases by 1%, haze pollution in local and neighboring areas will be reduced by 0.066% and 0.3538%, respectively. However, the impact of FDI on haze pollution is heterogeneous in different stages of economic development. FDI can improve the rationalization level of industrial structure, and then inhibit the haze pollution. However, FDI inhibits the upgrading level of industrial structure to a certain extent, and then aggravates the haze pollution. The research in this paper provides an important decision-making basis for coordinating the relationship between FDI and environmental pollution and realizing green development.
