  • Stock returns and Foreign Investment in Brazil
    Applied Financial Economics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Luciana Reis, Roberto Meurer, Sergio Da Silva
    Abstract:

    We examine the relationship between stock returns and Foreign Investment in Brazil, and find that the inflows of Foreign Investment boosted the returns from 1995 to 2005. There was a strong contemporaneous correlation, although not Granger causality. Foreign Investment along with the exchange rate, the influence of the world stock markets and country risk can explain 73% of the changes that occurred in the stock returns over the period. We also find that positive feedback trading played a role, and that the market promptly assimilated new information.

  • Foreign Investment human capital and manufacturing sector growth in singapore
    Journal of Policy Modeling, 2008
    Co-Authors: Sajid Anwar
    Abstract:

    Foreign Investment has been long regarded as the main driver of Singapore's manufacturing sector growth. By making use of annual data for the period 1980-2005, this paper argues that in addition to Foreign Investment, human capital is also playing a significant role in foresting manufacturing sector growth in Singapore. Empirical analysis shows that Foreign Investment, human capital and value added in manufacturing are cointegrated. The paper also argues that continued growth into the future requires further diversification of the manufacturing sector and increased spending on R&D and advanced education.

  • Labour supply, Foreign Investment and welfare in the presence of public infrastructure
    Economic Modelling, 2008
    Co-Authors: Sajid Anwar
    Abstract:

    Within the context of a small open economy where both Foreign Investment and the provision of public infrastructure are endogenous, this paper examines the impact of an exogenous increase in labour supply. An increase in labour supply can be attributed to labour inflow. A number of empirical studies have demonstrated the importance of public infrastructure in real economies and both developed and developing countries have attracted significant Foreign Investment in recent years. This paper shows that, in the case of a diversified equilibrium, variations in labour supply do not affect the wage rate, provision of public infrastructure or welfare. However, an increase in labour supply decreases Foreign Investment as long as the producers of the private goods derive equal benefits from public infrastructure. In the case of complete specialisation, an increase in labour supply increases the provision of public infrastructure, which leads to an increase in the wage rate and Foreign Investment. An increase in labour supply increases welfare as long as the provision of public infrastructure involves some fixed cost.

  • Quantitative Restrictions and Foreign Investment in a Monetary Economy
    2015
    Co-Authors: Chi-chur Chao
    Abstract:

    This paper examines the welfare effect of Foreign Investment under quantitative restric-tions for a host country with a cash-in-advance constraint. This constraint results in a diver-gence between the consumer virtual prices and the world prices. If the cash required for pur-chasing exportable goods exceeds that of the importable, additional Foreign Investment can widen the price divergence and, thus, reduce welfare. This result is contrary to the conven-tional view that Foreign Investment is non-immiserizing under quantitative restrictions. On the other hand, if the cash requirement is larger for buying importable goods, Foreign Investment can still promote welfare. Key words: Foreign Investment; quantitative restrictions; cash in advance JEL classification: F11; F21; E10 1
