An Investigation Of Foreign Direct Investment

FDI appears when a commonly expanding or growing company is investing to a foreign country. FDI consists of the acquisition or creation of assets (e.g. firm equity, land, houses, oil-drilling rigs and etc.) undertaken by foreigners. Initial investment or ownership of the foreign equity has to be more than 10% but does not need to be a 100%. Anything less than 10% of the ownership will be called portfolio investment. Company which invests in foreign markets become a multinational enterprise (MNE).

FDI allows the home country to invest into the host country to produce, advertise, and distribute products, in order to upsurge their market share and provides a long-term investment and enhancement. (Moosa, 2002)

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks were The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, which started in 1790; both are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the British East India Company. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India 's independence, became the State Bank of India.

In this 21st century, we live in a time like no other. The world has transformed as a result of globalization.

The investing firm may make its overseas investment in many forms, like mergers and acquisition or building new facilities in overseas (Hannon & Reddy, 2012). Thus, FDI have been a significant driver of economic development in China since the start of the Reform and Opening Policy in 1978 – 1979. Since the start of the reforms, China has begun to integrate more into global economy via trade and investment and become one of the most attractive economies for FDI flows from investors all over the world.

The world economy has evolved over the past few decades in an extreme fashion, regarding investment in particular and the way globalized enterprises are now investing in the developing world to increase their production, assets, and interconnected market networks (Foreign Direct Investment in Developing Countries, Finance and Development/March 1999). As a result of the changing trends of Foreign Direct Investment, developing countries have either benefited from them or stood behind others without any progress. Overall, even though FDI has experienced a decline since 1999 (opposed to the increase from the 1980's up to 1999) we can see that certain nations, like China, have increased their inflows relevant to Gross Domestic Product very

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) improved from 6.5% of the world’s GDP in 1980 to 31.8% in 2006.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been considered important for the growth of a country. When the individuals or companies from a country invest in another country, it is regarded as FDI. FDI not only strengthens the manufacturing base of the host country but also contributes to the strengthening of the economic outlook. FDI can be seen as an investment that leads directly to job creation in an economy. The unemployment rate decreases due to FDI, which leads to stability in economic, social and political spheres.

Foreign Direct Investment is the direct investment in new facilities or companies to expand a business in a new country. In evaluating and analyzing East Asia, it is important to focus on cultural issues as they are major indicators of the business environment and implementation in a given local. East Asia, including China, only began opening up for foreign investment in the 1970s. Japan is considered a developing market, where the rest of Eastern Asia is an emerging market, the majority of FDI around the world is targeted to developing nations due to increased stability, consumer culture, and large markets. The risk of emerging markets is greater than in developed, thus yielding a greater return on investment when the endeavor succeeds.

The topic of my dissertation is about the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries. With the trend of economic integration, FDI has been considered as an important part of boosting the economic development within any country around the world. Foreign direct investments differ entirely from indirect investments such as portfolio management.The direct way of investing in a foreign country can be conducted in a number of ways—either by establishing overseas controlled corporations, or associate company abroad, by obtaining shares of an multinational company, or though a joint venture.

The literature on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has documented various spillover effects on host countries. Following the same line of literature, this chapter takes the analysis further analysing spatial spillover in Indian manufacturing firms for the period 2001-2015. The analysis is based on two different types of weight matrices, one which is geographical based on firm’s location district and the other is based on ‘economic distance’ created by industry type of the firms. The results from Spatial Autoregressive Model and Spatial Durbin Model suggest the existence of positive main effects of foreign direct investment and on the job training but negative interaction effects with weight matrices. The possible cause of the negative
