The article presents the results of a factor analysis of the investment attractiveness of five regions in which world-class scientific and educational centers function, which are one of the tasks of the national project "Science". Among the indicators of investment attractiveness, the emphasis is placed on innovative and labor factors as integral components of the region's human capital, its reserve and potential. A systematic analysis of the factors of investment attractiveness made it possible to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the regions where RECs were created. The used methodology for assessing the region's human capital reserve made it possible to calculate its volume, which consists of the available human capital of the region and external - migration flows to the region in which the REC is being created. The conclusions drawn as a result of the study include: 1) regions with a high assessment of labor and innovation factors are leaders in the rating of investment attractiveness of regions; 2) a low assessment of the raw material (natural resource) factor is leveled by human factors (innovation and labor), i.e. is not a source of development in the knowledge economy; 3) infrastructure development is one of the indicators of investment inflow into the region, including for the development of science-intensive industries and a favorable investment climate; 4) migration processes in regions with established RECs do not act as a source of inflow of external effective human capital; 5) the observed trends of a decrease in the birth rate and a decrease in the number of the economically active population can be considered as a factor in reducing the reserve of regional human capital in the future.

Huge Variation

A large number of studies reveal that regions with larger stocks of physical infrastructure and human capital often are associated higher level of economic development. The present chapter attempts to find whether this is valid for India. Factor Analysis has been used to find the index of scores of infrastructure of the selected 20 major states of India. We have then used regression analysis to find the impact of infrastructure and education on economic development of the states. The results indicate that there is huge variation of infrastructure development across the states in India. The findings also indicate the significant impact of infrastructure development and education on economic development of the state, measured in terms of Per Capita Net State Domestic Product (PCNSDP).

Contractual Governance

Human capital (HC) plays an important role in modern agriculture. The difference in efficiency of assets explains only about a half of the economic performance of agricultural farms, while the other half relies on HC. Although education and training are the main components of HC, it may also be viewed from the perspective of behavioral theories that were taken under consideration in this study. The role of HC in sustainable farming has not been sufficiently explained when it comes to contractual governance (CG). In this study, the meaning of contractual governance was extended and the eco-contractual governance (ECG) concept was proposed, which stands for CG induced by agri-environmental contracts. The main objective of the article is to confirm the latent concepts of HC and ECG and to verify their correlation in view of the standards imposed by the agricultural policy. To achieve this goal, a structural equation model was developed and simultaneous confirmatory factor analysis with ordinal variables was carried out based on the sample of 674 small farms in Poland. The analysis has confirmed a relatively strong correlation between HC and ECG. It was revealed that training plays a crucial role in this relationship, while economic dependence on agricultural policy weakens the effectiveness of both HC and ECG.

The article examines the relevant issues related to the investment projects, the creation of investment programs and to carrying out the investment policy on the municipal and regional levels. Any municipality has to solve a lot of problems concerning a decent level of economic and social development of the area and the life standard of their residents. In conditions of the constant shortage of financial resources needed to solve the objectives, the investment policy becomes the major tool. Its main aim is not only to attract extra resources but also to distribute them properly. It requires both some certain legal conditions which allow correct evaluation of the social and economic situation in the municipalities, investment climate, conditions for the investment activities infrastructure development and the properly developed business, investment and corporate culture of the population.For most of the Russian territories the problem of attracting investments into the real production sector remains urgent. The solution of this problem requires rational approach to the determination and selection of the most appropriate investment directions and the evaluation of the perspective investment projects development – suggestions and activities aimed at the achievement of the particular economic, social, ecological and other objectives requiring capital funds.The relevance of the examined problem leads to another important issue connected with the training of a highly skilled personnel capable of giving proper evaluation of the political situation in the country, specific features of tax policy, microeconomic indexes of the certain area and other factors essential for the investment activity.

Effective implementation of regional policy is impossible without assessing the current environment of the region’s functioning, which is formed under the influence of internal factors. Among the many factors that determine the socio-economic development of the region, we have identified: human potential, innovation potential, investment potential, digitalization of the economy, production potential, quality of life and infrastructure development. Each of the selected factors can be characterized by using a system of statistical indicators. In regional forecasts, internal factors act as control parameters, changing them it is possible to find an opportunity to change the course and direction of socio-economic processes in the region. This explains the necessity and relevance of the study. The purpose of this article is to form a set of indicators to assess the factor load on the socio-economic development of the region and determine its vector. The method of factor analysis on an indicative basis was used for achieving this goal. The importance of factorial analysis lies, first of all, in the fact that its results will make it possible to assess the share of influence of each factor on the “level of socio-economic development of the region” and to develop appropriate tools for managing growth factors. Taking into account the formed system of indicators, an analysis of the Central Black Earth macroregion areas economic development was carried out. The greatest factor load on the socio-economic development of the region is exerted by the innovation potential, production potential and human potential of the region. As a result of the study, a matrix of the regions distribution by the level of socio-economic development was built, reflecting the position of the region in dynamics. During the study period, the Voronezh region occupies a leading position, and the Tambov region is an outsider region. In addition, for each region, growth factors and restrictions on the development of the region were identified, which must be taken into account when building regional forecasts.

An important phenomena in recent years is the entry of emerging economy multinational firms on the global stage with important implications on the structure. These countries are China, South Korea, Brazil, Argentina, and India. In the Post-reforms era domestic market has become very competitive, driving Indian companies to acquire world class standards in technology and organization. A consequence of this is several large Indian firms investing oversea markets especially developed countries with both green field ventures and cross-border acquisitions. India’s endowment of largescale skilled manpower (human capital) provided comparative advantage both for exports and international investments. One of the underlying factors for Indian corporations (generally emerging economy multinational firms) investing in developed countries is to develop linkages with the world market in order to leverage strategic resources that in turn promote learning within the firm.

The Belt And Road

Connectivity has always been a hindrance for landlocked countries to efficiently deliver their products and services across the globe. Such issue is no different in case of Nepal. Being a mountainous and landlocked country, Nepal is facing problems in trade, transportation and economic development. The introduction of the Belt and Road Initiatives by China to improve trade and connectivity among its member countries brings a new hope of economic prosperity. One can simply argue on the dark side of the project through media evidence illustrating the case of Hambantota Port, Sri Lanka. The purpose of the paper is to identify and formulate strategies for implementing the BRI projects in Nepal for enhancing economic development through connectivity. Paucity of academic discourse on the implementation strategies of the BRI project in Nepal was one of the motivating factors for this research. Literature review forms the major portion of research methodology and critical analysis has been done to derive conclusions. During the last 4 decades, China had an impressive achievement transforming itself from agricultural economy to world class digital powerhouse. It was found that from hardworking farmers, they have moved to become a traveller for pleasure and business. And now with its global development strategy involving infrastructure development and investment in more than 150 countries, it is at the edge of becoming the super power of the world. Nepal’s participation in the BRI goes beyond physical connectivity as we share history immemorial in terms of trade, religion, ideas and culture. The connectivity projects will definitely shape the trade of Nepal through exposure and efficient custom and transit transport procedures overcoming the problems in trade, transportation and economic development.

The Impact

In a globalization context, underlined by the speed of technological transformation and increasingly competitive markets, the perspective of human capital, as an asset of strategic importance, stands out in differentiating human resource practices. Under this reality, the employer branding (EB) concept gains more and more importance as a strategic tool to attract, retain, and involve human capital, given that this has become a source of competitive advantage to companies. Within this context, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between employer branding strategies implemented by organizations, as well as their impact on the employee’s affective commitment, evident in certain organizational cultures, which are sustained over time. The methodological framework applied to this study is quantitative, and the data collection was carried out with the application of an employer branding and an affective commitment questionnaire. To achieve a good representation of the active population, the sample of the quantitative study was composed of 172 individuals, working in the public and private sectors in Portugal, exercising different positions in the different sectors of activity. Results obtained with these techniques indicate a high level of affective organizational commitment (AOC) of employees in the organizations surveyed, suggesting that affective commitment develops when the individual becomes involved and identifies with the organization.
