Ένα χαρακτηριστικό γνώρισμα της παγκόσμιας οικονομίας τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες αποτελεί η εντυπωσιακή αύξηση των ξένων άμεσων επενδύσεων (ΞΑΕ), καθώς συντελούν στην επιτάχυνση της αναπτυξιακής διαδικασίας. Οι ΞΑΕ πραγματοποιούνται μέσω εξαγορών & greenfield επενδύσεων. Στη παρούσα εργασία ξεδιπλώνονται αυτές οι δύο επιλογές εισόδου όχι ανεξάρτητα η μία από την άλλη αλλά συγκριτικά, εξετάζοντας την παρουσία τους διαχρονικά, την επίδραση που ασκεί η καθεμία στη χώρα υποδοχής, την αποδοτικότητα και τη βιωσιμότητά τους. Επιπλέον, αναδεικνύονται οι κρίσιμοι παράγοντες που καθορίζουν τη μορφή εγκατάστασης σε μια ξένη χώρα, και αναλύονται υπό το πρίσμα των κυρίαρχων θεωριών και εμπειρικών μελετών. Παρουσιάζεται επίσης, η εξέλιξη των εξαγορών και greenfield επενδύσεων -όπως αυτή έχει διαμορφωθεί από την παγκόσμια οικονομική κρίση-σε καθένα από τα επίπεδα της οικονομικής ανάπτυξης των ξένων χωρών, και διατυπώνονται οι σχετικές προβλέψεις. Τέλος, αναλύεται η διαχρονική εξέλιξη των ΞΑΕ επενδύσεων στην Ελλάδα. / In the last decades, the main feature of the global economy is an amazing increase in the foreign direct investments (FDIs), as they contribute to the acceleration of the development process. The FDI is performed through acquisitions and greenfield investments. In this paper these two modes of entry are unfolded not independently the one from the other but comparatively, viewing their diachronic presence, their influence to the host country, their performance and their survival. In addition, the major factors that determine the foreign entry mode are spotlighted and considered through the prism of the dominant theories and empirical studies. Moreover, the evolution of acquisitions and greenfield investments-as it has been formed by the global economic crisis- is introduced in every economic level, and relevant predictions are declared. In conclusion, a diachronic analysis of FDI in Greece is included.

To reach this goal, we proposed a multilevel framework to investigate the relationship of firm, industry and host country (formal and informal institutions) factors on the establishment mode choice. The concepts behind the framework come from the Transaction Cost Theory and Institutional Theory. The methodology adopted is quantitative with an exploratory approach. Different sources of information are used to compose the database. For the analysis, we used the multivariate technique of binomial logistic regression. The sample of the study is composed of 129 Brazilians subsidiaries in 30 countries. The results show that formal and informal institutions have a different relationship regarding the entry mode strategy. Moreover, the results suggest a possible association between entry by acquisition, and factors related to the firm-level and formal institution. The Greenfield investments should be related with informal institution and the industry-level factors. / O objetivo desta dissertação consiste em identificar os fatores que influenciam na escolha dos establishment mode choice - escolha entre ingressar no exterior por meio de aquisições e investimentos greenfield. Para o alcance deste objetivo foi elaborado um modelo analítico multinível, que buscou identificar a influência dos fatores associados à firma, à indústria e ao país-anfitrião nesse processo de escolha estratégica. A elaboração do modelo analítico teve como base a adoção de conceitos pertencentes à Teoria dos Custos de Transação e à Teoria Institucional. Como metodologia de pesquisa adotou-se a abordagem quantitativa-descritiva, de caráter exploratório. Os dados do estudo foram coletados através de diversas fontes secundárias e analisados através da técnica estatística multivariada de regressão binomial logística. A amostra do estudo foi composta por 129 subsidiárias de empresas brasileiras presentes em 30 países. Os resultados da investigação indicam que as instituições formais e informais poderiam estar relacionadas, de diferentes formas, com o modo de entrada escolhido pelas multinacionais brasileiras. Além disso, sugerem que existiria uma possível associação entre a entrada por meio de aquisição e os fatores relacionados à firma e às instituições formais. E, que os investimentos greenfield estariam associados às instituições informais e ao setor de atuação da firma.

The availability of firm level data in international trade started a very quickly developing theoretical literature that focused on the micro evidence and understanding its implications for aggregate productivity and welfare. The new models were dealing with individual firm characteristics determining entry and exit from foreign markets and the different ways in which firms chose to enter. Two of the main features of this literature are that firms have heterogeneous productivities and need to pay a fixed costs in order to enter both their home and foreign markets. As a result, some do not find it optimal to export and it is those with higher productivity that do. This thesis is comprised of three theoretical papers (chapters) in which the models are with firms with heterogeneous productivities and there is steady state economic growth. The purpose in all three papers has been to generate results that are already established empirical facts but that have not been incorporated in the theoretical trade and growth literature. / Diss.

The principal objective of the work is to determine particularities of global FDI flows during the current economic crisis vis-a-vis preceding years. It is divided into four main parts and at first starts with a general description of FDIs. Then a description of behaviour of FDIs during 2000-2006 is provided and several indicators used by UNCTAD in its WIRs are also presented. After that, as soon as the development of FDIs at the beginning of the present century is known, a detailed text revealing the evolution of global FDI flows since the beginning of the crisis till the end of 2009 comes. The last important chapter is dedicated to the detection of particularitites of global FDI flows, whereas findings gained in previous parts have been also used.

本研究利用亞洲九個國家，自1995至2005年共十一年的資料，以固定效果模型對外人直接投資進入模式的外溢效果進行估計，探討外人直接投資進入模式與國家的勞動生產力之間的關係？另外，本文也研究外人直接投資的進入模式在高低技術及高低收入國家間是否會產生不同的外溢效果？　　 實證結果發現，跨國併購的行為剛進入時，並不會帶來顯著的外溢效果，然而只要一國的人力資本達到一定的門檻時，跨國併購便會為地主國帶來正向的外溢效果。而外商新建投資，可為當地市場產生正向的外溢效果。而透過技術能力的增進後，外商新建投資會帶來正向且顯著的外溢效果。 其次，在中低收入(技術)國家，外商新建投資透過人力資本的加乘後，也會產生顯著的正向外溢效果。 / The research adopts eleven-year of information from nine different Asian countries to evaluate the impact of spillover effect from the entry mode of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the national labor productivity. That is to construct a fixed-effects model studying, utilizing the information from nine Asian countries on FDI flows from 1995 to 2005. Moreover, the research also test the different spillover effect of entry mode between high-tech/high-incomed and low-tech/low-incomed countries. The empirical result shows that when first initiates a cross-border mergers or acquisitions, it doesn’t obviously result in the spillover effect. Thus, a country will has higher productivity of cross-border mergers and acquisitions, only when it has a minimum threshold stock of human capital. The foreign greenfield investment may have the positive spillover effect over the local market. And the higher the technology ,the higher the positive spillover effect of the foreign greenfield investment Lastly, in a low-tech/low-incomeed country,it will has higher productivity of foreign greenfield investment, also when it has a minimum threshold stock of human capital.
