The Impact

This research aims to show the impact of foreign investment inflows into Iraq on changes in unemployment after 2004, in light of the emergence of ideas of globalization in various aspects and the convergence of distances between countries due to the development of knowledge and scientific means of communication and by the policies of economic liberalization and international trade. A long - term equilibrium relationship between foreign investment flows and unemployment, and that changes in unemployment rates explain the change in FDI flows.

The Impact

The influence of a host state on direct foreign investment attracts the attention of scholars much less than do the constraints of the latter on the former. This study addresses the impact of state regulatory policies on the roles of inward foreign investment in Taiwan and Singapore's manufacturing sector. The similarities between the two small Asian open economies are first discussed. The different roles played by the foreign investors in their economies are then compared. A review of the literature in orthodox theories and radical points of view reveals several possible explanatory variables for such differences. Through the logic of the “most similar systems” design, or method of difference, some seemingly plausible factors are ruled out, due to their similarities in the two chosen entities. It is found that some pull factors (such as geographic location, colonial legacy, external political environment, and indigenous industrial capacity) and conversion factors (such as state policies toward foreign investment) may be responsible for the differences between the two islands. A more detailed analysis is then given to the conversion factors in general and the state regulatory policies toward foreign capital in particular. Finally, some general hypotheses about the conversion factors in the host state-foreign capital relationship applicable to most industrializing countries are suggested for further testing in future studies.

As a cross section survey, data for this study was generated using well and articulately structured survey from 50 respondents across 10 manufacturing firms in Rivers State. A total of three hypotheses were proposed with analysis revealing the relationship between direct foreign investments and manufacturing sector, it was revealed that direct foreign investment had a positive and significant relationship with manufacturing sector. The researcher believes that if appropriate actions are taken and necessary structures erected, the Nigerian manufacturing sector will be a healthier place to access the benefits that foreign direct investment conveys. This will lead to growth in Nigeria manufacturing sector. It was revealed that in spite of the acknowledged remuneration foreign direct investment conveys. It is nonetheless, criticized on grounds, of the defective activities that foreign investors indulge in. In conclusion, the study showed that the expansion of the manufacturing sector and direct foreign investment in Nigeria is based on a number of problems which may be reason for the positive but insignificant impact on DFI when the variables was regressed against manufacturing sector. It was at that point recommended that, Government needs to do a few needful in order to motivate foreign investors, this is by providing good and right social infrastructure and also a pool of relevant workforce, a safe working environment against militancy and a potentially strong market for their product and services can be sold.

Resumen:El presente artículo propone realizar un análisis del impacto de la apertura de la economía mexicana sobre la estructura y el desarrollo económico de las regiones. En términos generales, el debate actual sobre el tema se centra en el argumento de inspiración neoclásica de que, a largo plazo, el desarrollo entre las regiones -si bien desiguales- tenderá a converger e igualar las condiciones de desarrollo subsecuentes. En este artículo se plantea una hipótesis contraria, a saber: la apertura de la economía ha conducido al crecimiento de las desigualdades, lejos de llevar a la pretendida "convergencia" regional neoclásica. Así las cosas, al nivel más elemental de los hechos (evolución del PIB, inversión extranjera directa y generación de empleo) se verifica lo falaz del argumento neoclásico. Para llevar a cabo esta empresa, se realiza un análisis de la evolución de los indicadores a partir del estudio de la especialización productiva por regiones, así como del cambio y la participación en la estructura regional de la producción y el empleo. Finalmente, se argumenta a favor de una política económica activa por parte del Estado, en la lógica de reducir paulatinamente la desigualdad entre las regiones. Palabras clave: apertura de la economía mexicana; desigualdades; inversión extranjera; generación de empleo; especialización productivaAbstract:This article intends to analyse the impact of the opening-up of the Mexican economy on the structure and economic development of the different regions. Generally speaking, the present debate on the subject focuses on the neoclassical-inspired argument that the development of the regions, although uneven, will tend to converge and to make equal the subsequent development conditions in the long term. In this paper a contrary hypothesis is set forth, that is to say: far from leading to the so-called neoclassical regional "convergence", the opening-up of the economy has led to an increase in the inequalities. Then, at the most basic level of the events -GDP evolution, direct foreign investment, and creation of employment-, the fallacy of the neoclassical argument is verified. In order to carry out this task, the evolution of these indicators is analyzed from the study of the productive specialization by regions, as well as from changes and participation in the regional structure of production and employment. Finally, and according to the logic of gradually reducing inequality among regions, it is argued in favor of a state active economic policy.  Key words: opening-up of the Mexican economy; inequalities; foreign investment; creation of employment; productive specialization.
