Outward FDI from Colombia and its policy context
In: https://doi.org/10.7916/D8X06G1X
Outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) from Colombia has increased considerably in the past decade, with its stock growing from US$ 3 billion in 2000 to US$ 23 billion in 2010. This growth reflects the internationalization of the Colombian economy following policy reforms and economic liberalization in the 1990s. The 2000s were characterized by enhanced national security and reforms to the investment framework that have attracted unprecedented levels of inward FDI and facilitated the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A considerable rise in domestic mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in the past decade has contributed to the development of Colombian multinational enterprises (MNEs) and to increased OFDI from Colombia. In 2010, outflows showed a twenty-fold increase from their value in 2000, including an increase in OFDI to export markets, helped by greater government support for OFDI, for example by the conclusion of more international investment agreements. The rise of Colombian MNEs, or "translatinas" (i.e. Latin American MNEs whose OFDI is primarily within Latin America), reflects Colombia's nascent structural transformation into a knowledge-based economy.

Managing Foreign Direct Investment: Commitment, Deterrence, And Diversion
In: Pacific economic review, Band 3, Heft 1, S. 13-31
ISSN: 1468-0106
The paper models the multinational choice between foreign direct investment in and exporting to a domestic market as an equilibrium outcome of strategic play between domestic and foreign firms. Two cases are considered, one in which the domestic firm can precommit to output levels (as, for example, through investment in a distribution network), and one in which such precommitment is not possible. The domestic firm's strategy in the case of precommitment includes aggressive efforts to deter or divert foreign investment and results in fewer observed equilibria with foreign investment than would otherwise occur. Tariffs designed to switch the foreign decision from exporting to direct investment may lead instead to monopolization of the market by the domestic firm.
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
In: Oradea journal of business and economics, S. 31-40
ISSN: 2501-3599
A large number of countries have enacted laws aimed at making it easier for firms to invest in their country, while many countries offer various monetary incentives and tax incentives to encourage inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The desire to attract FDI is due not only to the fact that FDI brings in new investment boosting national income and employment, but also due to the expectation that inward FDI would also provide additional spillover benefits to the local economy that can result in higher productivity growth and increased export growth. This study aims to examine the impact of foreign direct investment on innovation in developing countries. The estimation of a panel threshold model on a sample of 54 developing countries for the 1980-2009 period shows the presence of non linear effects in the relationship between FDI and innovation. We find a threshold value of technological development below which FDI has a negative impact on innovation and above which FDI has a significant positive impact on innovation. We conclude that it is not enough for economic policy to attract foreign investments, it is still necessary to support domestic firms to build an absorptive capacity allowing them to enjoy the benefits of multinational firms.
Economic Freedom and Foreign Direct Investment in Developing Countries
In: The journal of developing areas, Band 41, Heft 1, S. 143-154
ISSN: 1548-2278
This paper employs cross-country growth regressions for a sample of developing countries to examine the determinants of FDI. In addition to economic factors affecting foreign direct investment, the analysis also tests for the role of institutional quality (enforcement of property rights, corruption, etc.) and policy orientation factors (openness). The paper evaluates whether foreign investment responds to changes in levels of economic freedom. In addition it tests whether the insignificant coefficient found in previous studies is the result of the level of aggregation in the economic freedom data. Finally, it disaggregates the data on economic freedom and re-estimates the relationship between FDI and components of economic freedom. Foreign direct investment is found to vary positively with increases in certain components of economic freedom.
Foreign direct investment, smart policies and economic growth
In: Progress in development studies, Band 17, Heft 3, S. 245-256
ISSN: 1477-027X
Developing economies need foreign direct investments to complement domestic investment with a view to increase capital accumulation, productivity and growth rates. But, foreign direct investments (FDIs) may have costs in addition to the well-known benefits to the host country. Generating higher net benefits from FDI necessitates design and implementation of 'smart' investment policies by the host countries rather than the current orthodoxy of 'neutral' FDI policies, which is based on liberalizing the FDI inflows and aim to attract 'any' kind of FDI. In this article, we discuss such polices and how they relate to host country circumstances.
Diasporas and foreign direct investment in China and India
"This book offers a comparative and historical analysis of foreign direct investment (FDI) liberalization in China and India and explains how the return of these countries' diasporas affects such liberalization. It examines diasporic investment from Western FDIs and finds that diasporas, rather than Western nations, have fueled globalization in the two Asian giants. In China, diasporas contributed the lion's share of FDI inflows. In India, returned diasporas were bridges for, and initiators of, Western investment at home. Min Ye illustrates that diasporic entrepreneurs helped to build China into the world's manufacturing powerhouse and that Indian diasporas facilitated their homeland's success in software services development"--
