Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of natural disasters on countries' FDI.Method: We used data from 137 countries, considering the period from 2011 to 2017. The secondary data used to measure Foreign Direct Investment are from the UNCTAD - United Nations Conference on Trade and Development following the study by Alfaro et al. (2004). For data on natural disasters, the EM-DAT database - The International Disaster Database provided by CRED - Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters - was used, based on the studies by Toya Skidmore (2007) and Escaleras Register (2011). The analysis was performed through Linear Regression of panel data.Originality/Relevance: This study points to a direction of research for those interested in expanding the flows of Foreign Direct Investment in their countries, being significant in the field of business, government, public policy makers and the third sector.Results: The results show that when an economy suffers from natural disasters that cause deaths and, consequently, a reduction in human capital, foreign investors can negatively portray this fact. On the other hand, the number of occurrences and the loss in millions of dollars when analyzed individually do not discourage FDI and the presence of multinationals in the affected country. The variables: total of injured, total of affected, and total of homeless have no relation with FDI in the analyzed sample. It is indicated that, in the face of a natural disaster, countries create opportunities for the replacement and reconstruction of infrastructure and human capital.Theoretical contribution: We seek to contribute theoretically to the recent increase of studies that verify the relationship between natural disasters and FDI in the light of the institution-based view. We direct greater understanding to the premise that natural disasters affect a country's economy as they cause FDI reduction, and we provide the foundation for future studies. While previous studies are concerned with FDI determinants, being tax incentives and property rights, this study focuses specifically on the different variables that aggregate natural disasters. In addition, the study aims to expand the perception of decision makers, belonging to the government, private entities and the third sector, so that they can reduce and prevent the occurrence of natural disasters, thus attracting FDI flows in their countries.

This article sustains the level of impact on foreign direct venture has on the Indian banking sector in the wake of the extraordinary capital takeoff from the Indian economy during the recent global economic recession the credit crunch. Information which are secondary data nature were obtained from measurable announcements of the Central Bank of India. Results uncovered that there is a non-positive significant impact of outside direct venture on the value capital of the Indian financial area, there is a negative unimportant effect of remote direct speculation on the liquidity position of the Indian banking sector and there is a negative inconsequential effect of remote direct venture on the absolute resources of the Indian banking sector. It is prescribed that the Indian Government should pay attention to more the obligation of making an empowering domain for powerful, esteem including outside direct interest in the banking sector without losing the prerogative of sovereignty. It is additionally prescribed that officially existing foreign direct investment in India should to be supported and the Government should start to take a gander at outside direct venture from a more profound point of view. The quality and structure of outside direct speculation should now be seen from the viewpoint of interest in more extensive parts of the economy (i.e power, manufacturing, banking and export-oriented industries) and the utilization of nearby providers, as opposed to a disproportionate spotlight on extractive enterprises. An endeavor has been made through this paper to assess the FDI inflows in the retail area.

This study examined the Effect of Exchange and Interest Rates on Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeria 2006-2018. Secondary data was used for the study and it was obtained from the financial statement of the Central Bank of Nigeria for the period 2000-2018. The unit root property of the data was analyzed using the Augmented Dickey Fuller Test and the variables were all stationary at first difference. Also, Johansen Co-integration test statistics was used to test the cointegrating nature of the data while the longrun and the shortrun relationship between the variables of the study were examined using the error correction model. The data was tested for normality using the Jarque-Bera test statistics. The result of the study indicates that a positive relationship exist between Exchange Rate and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The relationship is statistically significant (as tcal = 7.25891) is greater than ttab = 2.101 df 17) and in line with a priori expectation. The longrun co-integrating equation shows that a negative relationship exit between Interest Rate (INT) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the result is not statistically significant (as tcal = -12.5639 is greater than ttab = 2.101 @ df 17). Inflation (INF) was negatively related to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the long-run. A unit increase in Inflation (INF) will lead to a corresponding increase in Foreign Direct Investment by GDP by 23.37%. This relationship is statistically significant (p<0.05) (as tcal = -12.5639) is less than ttab = 2.101@ df 17) and in line with our a priori expectation. It was recommended among others that board composition effect on total voluntary disclosure can be increased when appointment is made sometimes of an outside director who is an official of a financial firm as it has been found to increase firm share value. It was concluded that FDI is an important avenue for investment in agricultural, manufacturing and transfer of technology to an economy. It was recommended among others that the government should seek to stabilize exchange rates, through adoption of sound fiscal and monetary policies.

Rules Of The Game

The paper tries to analytically observe the chronological changes as incurred in the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy with special reference to e-commerce in Indian retail sector. Across the last two decades, there have been plentiful changes in such e-commerce related FDI policy as the whole sector itself was fresh and just evolving in our country. The policy makers have time to time grew with the complex tactics and inscrutable business strategies used by giant e-commerce companies like Flipkart and Amazon in India. Over the years from their entry in India till date, these companies have been burning cash through deep-discounts, unfair marketing experiments through exclusive deals/offers and what not, just to gain a huge slice in the market-share race. These companies have developed complex business structures just to ‘comply’ with the rules of Indian government’s policies on FDI. The policy makers on the other hand have not let it loose and have regularly tightened the noose with astute comebacks, through regular changes in the FDI policy. The paper thus, tries to conclude through critically reviewing the compliance strategies as implemented by both e-tail giants in India and how they changed the game when the government changed rules of the game.

AbstractPolitical scientists and economists have long been interested in the role of special interests in the policymaking process. In the past few years, a series of important new books have argued forcefully that the lobbying activities of economic actors have an important influence on the prospects for war and peace. All of these analyses claim that whether economic actors enhance or decrease the likelihood of conflict ultimately depends on the domestic political balance between economic actors who have a strong vested interest in pushing for peace versus those that do not. I advance two contrary arguments. At least among the advanced states, I posit there are no longer any economic actors who will be favorable toward war and who will lobby the government with this preference. All of the identified mechanisms that previously contributed to such lobbying in these states have been swept away with the end of colonialism and the rise of economic globalization. In particular, I show that the current structure of the global economy now makes it feasible for foreign direct investment to serve as an effective substitute for conquest in a way that was not possible in previous eras. My second argument concerns those economic actors in advanced states with a preference for peace. I posit that it has become unnecessary for them to directly lobby the government to avoid war on economic grounds because economic globalization—the accumulation of decisions by economic actors throughout the globe—now has sufficiently clear economic incentives for leaders.

The benefits and costs of the implementation of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) between Ukraine and the EU have been studied. The study aimed to find out to what extent the implementation of DCFTA has helped increase exports and attract foreign direct investment into Ukraine’s economy. A comparison method was used to conduct the study. The period of implementation of the DCFTA (2016-2020) was compared with the period before the implementation of the DCFTA (2010- 2014). Due to trade liberalization, exports of Ukrainian goods to the EU and imports of goods from the EU to Ukraine have increased. Trade liberalization has not contributed to further attracting foreign direct investment from the EU to Ukraine’s economy. The urgent task of the Government of Ukraine is to create a business regulatory environment according to European standards and protect foreign investment.

The study seeks to establish the relationship between foreign direct investment to Saarc region agricultural sector and economic growth with secondary data. SAARC comprises 3% of the world's area, 21% of the world's population and 3.8% (US$2.9 trillion) making up a total of 3% of the world’s area. The country has second in all over the world in terms of agriculture position. The population obliquely all of the member states is over 1.7 billion, accounting for 21% of the world’s total population. In their 42% of the agricultural operation in SAARC nations and also 51% source of livelihood of the South Asians. The study has revealed that India alone accounts for 52 per cent of the agricultural products using the SAARC region peoples. For the present study, a total of 34 groups related to the agricultural products were selected out of the total groups. The techniques employed to analyze the data include descriptive statistic, correlation and linear forecast method. The study also revealed a positive and important relationship between economic growth and foreign direct investment flow to the agricultural sector. Thus, the study recommends that policy should focus on flexible trade policies to attract more foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to SAARC nations. i.e. Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka including India
