In this increasingly globalized era, foreign direct investments are considered to be one of the most important sources of external financing for all countries. This paper investigates the causal relationship between trade openness and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in Romania during the period 1997–2019. Throughout this study, Trade Openness is the main independent variable, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Real Effective Exchange Rate (EXR), Inflation (INF), and Education (EDU) act as control variables for investigating the relationships between trade openness (TOP) and FDI inflow in Romania. The Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds test procedure was adopted to achieve the above-mentioned objective. Trade openness has negative and statistically significant long-run and short-run relationships with FDI inflows in Romania throughout the period. Trade openness negatively affects the FDI inflow, which suggest that the higher the level of openness is, the less likely it is that FDI will be attracted in the long run. The result of the Granger causality test indicated that Romania has a unidirectional relationship between trade openness and FDI. It also showed that the direction of causality ran from FDI to trade openness.

In the process of globalization, the importance of foreign direct investment has changed significantly, because today they represent one of the most important factors of competitiveness, development and application of new technology, education, innovation and economic development. As a significant form of financing national economies, foreign direct investment is a form of investment that is realized outside the home country, where one of the most important goals of both developed and especially developing countries is to attract as much foreign direct investment. A large number of developing countries, including Serbia, have liberalized restrictions on foreign investment and free trade in the last two decades, liberalized national financial markets and begun privatization processes. Due to numerous problems and consequences of economic crises they have faced, many developing countries, as well as Serbia, view foreign direct investment as one of the most important factors for stimulating trade, employment growth, openness of national economies, and establishing overall macroeconomic stability. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance and dynamics of foreign direct investments in Serbia, as well as the key incentives for their attraction. Also, in addition to the theoretical review of foreign direct investments, the effects of foreign direct investments are presented in the paper.

East Africa Community exchange rate volatility spiraled up when the countries adopted the Structural Adjustment Policies in early 1980s. The question that remains unanswered is whether exchange rate volatility hinders or promotes trade. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of exchange rate volatility and its effect on Intra-East Africa community regional trade. Unit root tests results indicated that some of the variables were stationary at levels and on first difference, all variables were I(1). Differenced panel data was fitted into the General Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity model to measure volatility. Hausman test showed that the fixed effect model was appropriate exchange rate, money supply, population and foreign direct investment significantly determines intra-East Africa Community regional trade. It was concluded that exchange rate volatility is observable in the Intra-East Africa region and further, exchange rate, money supply, population, and foreign direct investment significantly influenced intra-EAC regional trade.
