The role of foreign direct investment in regional economic integrationDe Beer, Frans Alwyn 09 November 2010 (has links)
M.Comm. / This mini dissertation is a literature review that deals with trade liberalisation in the form of Regional Trade Agreements. It focuses on the importance of FDI for economic growth of developing countries. This study investigates ‘new regionalism’ critically. New regionalism suggests that economic growth may be possible if developing countries form trading blocs, which partner with a larger economy and engage in policy reforms aimed at attracting FDI. The study concludes that a trading bloc may possibly attract FDI and create export and growth opportunities. However, the developing countries should be able to manage all aspects associated with REI. These aspects include the negative effects of trade diversion, the impact of adjustment costs, and the administrative requirements of managing RoO in the landscape of highly proliferated RTAs. In addition, FDI will only result in the required growth if the developing economy is able to absorb and assimilate the new technologies and production methods FDI is expected to bring to its shores. Moreover, the FDI should be targeted so as to develop industries of comparative advantage. In order to absorb these benefits a high level of skilled labour is required as well as support structures to assist with training and development of the labour force. In addition, new rules under the WTO is restrictive in the latitude it allows developing countries to assimilate the production methods and technologies of MNCs. The research concludes that careful planning and policy development is required prior to REI if it is to have a hope of succeeding in its goals.

The medium-long term impact of cross-border investments into Sub- Saharan Africa by listed South African companiesDe Jager, P.C. (Pieter Christiaan) 10 March 2010 (has links)
Research into whether the medium-long term impact on shareholders’ value of acquiring companies engaged in cross-border merger and acquisition transactions (CBMA) into Sub-Saharan Africa. By focussing on companies listed on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (“JSE”) and testing the general hypothesis whether the shareholders of acquiring companies earn statistically significant positive or negative returns within the medium-long term after the announcement date of a cross-border merger and acquisition transaction. Out of a total of 10,167 merger and acquisition transactions over the eight-year period between 2000 and 2007, only 12 cross-border mergers and acquisitions into Sub-Saharan Africa satisfied all the selection criteria. By exhaustive application of the single-factor market model to calculate the regression formula using 4 years of historical share price performance data, the results suggested that statistically significant negative weighted average abnormal returns for shareholders are consistently present over the event window. The study on the medium-long term event window starting 21 days prior to the first public announce of the transactions and continued up to 252 trading days after the announcement date. Thus it satisfied common critique by researchers about the true value of short term event studies for companies and their shareholders.

The linkage between foreign direct investment and economic growth : a comparative case study of Kenya and South Africa07 September 2012 (has links)
M.A. / All countries compete to attract a larger share of FDI inflows. Developing countries, especially in Africa, receive a relatively small share of FDI inflow. Furthermore, the FDI inflows that Africa receives are concentrated in a small number of countries. While FDI is regarded as the engine for growth, some studies have even shown a weak and unstable relationship between FDI and growth in Africa, with wide variations between African countries. Against this backdrop, this study aims to determine why developing countries benefit differently from FDI. To achieve this aim, a comparative case study between South Africa and Kenya was conducted. This study focused on the institutions responsible for providing linkage support to both new and existing foreign direct investors in South Africa and Kenya. It argues that institutions assist countries to adopt and absorb technologies introduced in domestic economies by foreign investors. In this light, the research attempted to compare the best practice to actual practice of the institutions in South Africa and Kenya. At the end of the research process, it was discovered that even though South African institutions have challenges, they perform better than their Kenyan counterparts because they are well-funded and receive strong support from the South African government.
