An important part of the international capital movement is in a different form known as foreign direct investment. This term refers to international capital flows in which a company of a country creates or extends its representation in another country. Foreign direct investment is a direct investment in production or business in a country by a company from another country, by purchasing a company in a given country or by extending the operations of a permanent business in that country. Foreign direct investment has many forms. Widely viewed FDI include acquisitions and acquisitions, building new facilities, reinvestment of profits earned in external operations and internal corporate loans. The investment is direct because the investor, company or group of investors requires control, management or significant influence over a foreign company. FDI is the largest source of external financing, and accordingly, it appears that countries with limited capital typically have an influx of finance from rich countries. According to the World Bank, FDI and the development of small business types are two crucial elements necessary for developing the private sector in underdeveloped countries, as well as reducing the economic gap.

Economic Theories

The article provides a retrospective analysis of the formation and evolution of foreign direct investment in terms of various economic theories taking into account changes in the stages of socio-economic development. The study of these historical and economic issues was carried out using systematic analysis and historical method; which allowed us to identify the genesis and analyze the evolution of economic theories on the formation and development of foreign direct investment. The author conducted a detailed study of the history of investment activities and management of foreign direct investment from the oldest origins in the ancient world to modern forms of innovation. It was found that at different times, repre- sentatives of various economic theories (open economy, market modernization, monopolistic competition, international capital movements, etc.) worked on under- standing complex investment processes, risk management and methods of obtaining economic benefits, who considered foreign direct investment as a guaranteed im- provement and development of society. The analysis of scientific literature and statistics shows positive social, po- litical, economic, technological and other effects of investment activities: job creation and training, export diversification and improvement of export perfor- mance, introduction of science-intensive technologies, activation of local firms – suppliers and subcontractors, the introduction of effective management methods, foreign exchange inflows, etc. Analyzing the genesis of economic theories, opinions and research, we conclude that humanity, feeling the need for savings, pays considerable attention to investment. The stages of the investment economy and the choice of methods of control over them indicate the urgency of this problem, and today scientists continue to discover new aspects of investment opportunities and develop innovative forms, mechanisms, tools of investment policy. Key words: economic theories, foreign direct investment, investment activity, international capital movement.

Empirical Significance

This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part examines panel data evidence concerning empirical significance of the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in CLMV countries. Theoretical and empirical findings and outcomes on FDI have been considered to test the model for the aforementioned nations. The data has been taken from the World Bank through 2005-2014. Findings accept the four proposed hypotheses and the results are significant. The second part explores the trade and FDI situation in CLMV through secondary data, and establishes that India has potential to augment bi-lateral ties through this route. Literature review for this section also corroborates with the findings of the first part.

The One

The improvement of a country’s technological innovation level is influenced by the technology spillover of inward foreign direct investment (IFDI) and outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). Based on the Coe and Helpmen’s theory of international capital flow model and one-way causality measure model, this study examines the similarities and dissimilarities between the dynamic effects of IDFI and OFDI on technological innovation in China and Japan to enumerate the differences in the utilization effect of FDI between developed and developing countries. The empirical results show that the one-way causality intensity of IFDI to technological innovation in China is weaker than that in Japan, but the FDI volatility in China is stronger than that in Japan. The one-way causality intensity of OFDI to technological innovation are low both in China and Japan, and the patterns of long-term and short-term effects are not identical. According to the results of our empirical research, we draw the conclusions and proposed suggestions for using IFDI and OFDI in China and Japan.

The paper deals with the features of German transnational corporations’ investment activity within the last decade. The period of active foreign direct investing during 2004–2007 and the period of FDI decline due to the global economic and financial crisis are distinguished. The sectoral and regional structures of German TNCs’ investments are analyzed as well. The special accent is made on the issue of investment attractiveness of Central and Eastern Europe, especially Ukraine, for the German TNCs. It was revealed that stability and predictability of the situation in the country and main features of its market are more important for German corporations when choosing the host country, than regulatory restrictions on foreign direct investment. This is a very important issue for the FDI attraction into Ukrainian economy. Keywords: TNCs, FDI, international capital flows, regulatory restrictions, Central and Eastern Europe, Ukraine.
