Area Of Concern

This chapter begins by describing and assessing trends in foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2012. It then turns to an understudied but increasing area of concern in investment policy—home country measures (HCMs), which influence and often direct investment flows to certain destinations. These measures have an effect on “competitive neutrality” by affecting companies' decisions about where to invest and even about whether to invest; some measures effectively subsidize outward foreign direct investment so long as it is directed in particular ways. The chapter provides a detailed survey of HCMs in the top ten developed countries and the top ten emerging markets, and an analysis of the potential effects of those measures on investment decisions and the policies that home countries seek to effectuate with the establishment of measures that encourage and direct investment.

Effective Exchange Rate

Since 1990, globalization of Indian economy led to a speedy growth of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and simultaneously outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) also shows an increasing trend. However, India’s OFDI has attracted a little attention from the researchers and they have considered the OFDI in terms of commitments or approved equities. The motivation of this article is to investigate the India’s macro factors influencing actual OFDI flows from India by empirically recognizing four factors, namely gross domestic product, inward FDI, real effective exchange rate, and real interest rate over the period 1980–2016. The study has used Augmented Dicky-Fuller (ADF) and Phillips–Perron (PP) Unit root tests for checking the stationarity of the variable of the model. Later on, autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) model and error correction mechanism is used for testing the long-run as well as short-run dynamics of the model. The result shows that all the selected variables have positive and significant influence on India’s outward investment flows.
