Energy management is a major issue in economic development that goes hand in hand with sustainable development. The objective of this study is to analyze the determinants of energy demand in Morocco during the period 1990-2016. For years to come, energy demand has tended to grow. As a result, it is important to understand the key determinants of energy demand through the analysis of three independent variables: gross domestic product (GDP), access to electricity and direct foreign investment. The approach adopted is to use an Error Correction Vector Model (VECM). Empirical results show that energy demand in Morocco is linked to real causes, which are GDP, access to electricity and foreign direct investment.

The paper deals with the problems related to economic development in Serbia and Southeast-European countries. Comparative analysis has been used for distinguishing typical changes of gross domestic product, foreign direct investment and gross domestic product per capita in Serbia, the countries of Southeast Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The analysis indicates that the levels of both the gross domestic product (GDP) and production in Serbia and other countries are currently lower than in 1989, the year generally taken as the beginning of the process of transition from centrally planned to market economies. .

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has a special and specific importance for the Republic of Kosovo taking into account the conditions and economic development, which in turn impact the economic development and social improvement of the country. For the state to have a greater absorption of FDI, significant improvement should be made in improving the management capacity in order to create a motivating environment for foreign investment, which is related to the improvement of macro-factors and microfactors at the country level in order to make the environment as attractive as possible for FDI. The purpose of this paper is to present the trend of FDI, the trend of export with a keen eye on Kosovo and to present the correlation of FDI with export. Firstly, at the beginning of this paper, a theoretical review of the literature on definitions of FDI in economic terms and definitions of export is presented. Secondly, the trend and comparison of FDI and exports over the years is presented. Thirdly, FDI trends in Kosovo were analyzed by the country of origin of these investments, etc. Fourthly, in the context of this paper, an analysis in terms of investment management at the country level in order to create an attractive investment environment was made. Fifthly, as part of this paper, empirical analyzes showing the correlations between FDI and Export in the Kosovo case have been made. FDI trends in Kosovo have been decreasing over the years, which must be improved by creating a motivating environment for both domestic and foreign investors.

Foreign direct investment in Russia in a historical aspect are discussed in the article. It is noted that theoretical studies on this issue have led to a better understanding of the economic mechanism and the behavior of various participants in the economic sphere at both the micro and macro levels, which has opened up new areas of research in the field of economics. It is stated that an understanding of why a company initiates foreign direct investment in a particular country or increases their volume, allows us to present the main motives of the management of firms to invest, rather than to export or outsource production to national firms. The purpose of this study is to identify the main trends in foreign direct investment in the Russian Federation in various historical periods. A review of economic indicators on attracted investments, reflected in the relevant economic reports of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, as well as other documents, a periodization of direct foreign investment in the Russian Federation was made. Based on the analysis, the authors propose to consider five periods: from the late 1980s to 1999, from 2000 to 2007, from 2008 to 2013, from 2014 to 2019 and from 2020 to the present, which have their own characteristics. Attention is paid to the fact that foreign direct investment in the Russian Federation during these periods was uneven, due to serious political contradictions in the international arena.

The Past

With a strong economy and newly acquired confidence following three decades of rapid economic expansion, China has pursued an outward looking policy based upon foreign direct investment, development assistance and trade targeting particularly the developing world. Such expansion has drawn concerns over its impact on human rights, democratization and the environment. This paper assesses these concerns by examining Sino-Cambodia relations over the past sixteen years. It concludes that while trade, development assistance, and investment have had positive effects on Cambodia’s economic development, concerns that these engagements have derailed deeper democratization in Cambodia are not deterministic. Cambodia’s authoritarian trajectory is less a product of China’s engagement and more of the Cambodian elites’ defiance of Western efforts at democratic promotion and belief in state developmentalism—economic prosperity with tight political control.

In 2012, the reform of the Federal Labor Law was implemented in Mexico, arguing that it was necessary to make the legislation more flexible, in order to position Mexico as a viable country to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). However, there has been little monitoring on the real effects of these changes. The objective of this research was to analyze the factors that determine the precarious working conditions in the city of Celaya Guanajuato Mexico with the use of a quantitative approach of a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The results identified that precarious working conditions are correlated with the gender, age, schooling, economic sector and origin of the investment. The implications for management are: The legal flexibility for attracting direct foreign investment according to this research, has been an appropriate strategy, since it pressures labor markets to improve their conditions to be competitive, because the industry with direct foreign investment is governed by the Law, on the other hand, the national industry reflects labor practices well below the legal minimums.

Substantial Distance

Pakistan for many years maintained strict controls on foreign direct investment. However, over the past decade controls on foreign investment in manufacturing have diminished sharply, though less so for the service sector. The government continues to impose restrictions on foreign trade, which adversely affect foreign direct investors in several ways. Nonetheless, Pakistan has moved a substantial distance toward liberalising direct foreign investment. There are two obvious policy issues related to foreign investment raised by these developments. First, should Pakistan proceed further toward liberalisation and at what pace? Second, with a liberalised investment sector, should Pakistan become an active protagonist among developing countries for a multilateral agreement on investment?

In this chapter, the authors investigate the causality relationship between the inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth as measured by Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in Turkey during the period 1974-2012 by using the Granger causality tests. The causality test indicates that economic growth Granger-causes FDI. This means that there is bidirectional causality from Reel GDP to FDI in Turkey. So the author results support “the growth – driven FDI hypothesis”. This demonstrates that in the related time in Turkey, more direct foreign investment entered the economy together with an increase in economic growth.
