This article analyzes direct investments. Currently, with the development of market relations and the strengthening of international relations, the objective trends in the growing volume of the export of Russian capital, the increase in its scale and the size of foreign assets, the consolidation of Russian companies in the promising segments of the world market, makes the article relevant and important for consideration. For a more precise presentation of the present situation, the structure of capital flows, in the context of economic entities, as well as statistical data on regulatory measures for foreign direct investment, are provided. The analysis revealed an unfavorable situation on the world investment market for the Russian Federation. The outflow of foreign direct investment from countries with economies in transition tends to decline. Carrying out the analysis of investments it is impossible to bypass. It should be noted that the structure of the capital exported from Russia differs from the similar structure of states with a progressive market by the fact that the share of other investments approximates to the share of foreign direct investment, and this trend increases dramatically in the period of instability. A clearer idea allows us to obtain a detailed analysis of the outflow of Russian investments and the inflow of foreign capital, as given in the paper. The article allows to consider the structure and present position of Russian direct investments and foreign capital.

Objective – Tax policies play significant role in the direction of foreign direct investments. We investigate the proposition that tax policies enacted by military and democratic regimes differ on the influence the foreign direct investments. Methodology/Technique – Our hypotheses are tested using the error correction model as we compare the impact of tax policies on flow foreign direct investments in Nigeria between two dispensations: military rule from 1983 to 1999 and democratic rule from 1999 to 2017. Panel data between 1983 and 2017 were obtained from the databases of the World Bank, Central Bank of Nigeria and the Federal Inland Revenue Services. The explanatory variables include company income tax, value added tax, tertiary education tax and customs and exercise duties. Findings – The study reveals that tax variables during the military regime exerted more explanatory power of 79% compared to the civilian administration of 66% with respect to the impact of corporate taxes on FDI. The effect of company income tax on FDI was more pronounced during the military regime than in the civilian regime. FDI had a higher degree of convergence during the military regime compared to civilian rule, and this is vital for policy assessments and comparison. Novelty – We bring to light new evidences on the effects of taxes polices on FDI.

This paper examines the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the growth-unemployment nexus. A review of previous contributions on Okun’s law uncovered which aspects of international relations are more prone to affect growth-unemployment nexus. It was found that inward FDI and outward FDI are most likely to affect this nexus. EU-28 panel data and interactive model with pooled OLS estimator were used to empirically test whether both inward and outward FDI moderates the relationship between growth and unemployment. The estimations showed that, as expected, FDI weakens the effect of growth on unemployment. Moreover, with an increase in FDI, the effect of growth on unemployment becomes less statistically significant.
