This study analyzes the impact of foreign aid on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in selected countries in East Asia and South Asia -two regions that have received huge foreign aid as well as FDI inflows. Theoretically, foreign aid can either facilitate FDI by funding projects that raise the marginal productivity of capital, or crowd out FDI as the number of investment opportunities in developing countries is usually limited. Using the FGLS (Feasible Generalized Least Squares) panel estimation methodology with 1995-2012 panel data from 7 East Asian and 7 South Asian countries, this study finds that the impact of foreign aid on FDI is significantly positive and robust across several model specifications. The estimated results also suggest that FDI is significantly affected by corruption control, rate of return, infrastructure, human capital, market potential, and political stability, and East Asia enjoys a locational advantage in attracting FDI vis-à -vis South Asia. These results further our knowledge of the foreign aid-FDI dynamics in developing countries.
Recoil 8S Se atoms resulting from the thermal neutron induced fission of 235 U have reacted in the gas phase with carbon monoxide. OC 88 Se was isolated and identified as a reaction product present in low yields. The reaction of these same recoil selenium atoms with C0¡¡ did not produce any OC 88 Se, nor did (η, γ) produced "Se atoms react with CO to form OC 75 Se. These low yields are in direct contrast to similar work which studied the chemical reactions of recoiling 85 S atoms.
ZusammenfassungAus der durch thermische Neutronen induzierten Spaltung von 235 U entstandene 8S Se-Rückstoßatome haben in der Gasphase mit Kohlenmonoxid reagiert. OC 98 Se wurde abgetrennt und als in geringer Ausbeute vorhandenes Reaktionsprodukt identifiziert. Die Reaktion derselben Selenrückstoßatome mit C0 2 ergab kein 0C 8a Se, und auch durch (n,y)-Reaktion erzeugte 75 Se-Atome reagierten nicht mit CO zu OC 75 Se. Diese niedrigen Ausbeuten stehen in Widerspruch zu ähnlichen Arbeiten, in denen die chemischen Reaktionen von 35 S-Rückstoßatomen untersucht wurden.
RésumeLes atomes de recul de 88 Se en provenance de la fission de 235 U induite par des neutrons thermiques ont réagi en phase gazeuse avec le monoxyde de carbone. On a isolé et identifié OC 88 Se en tant que produit de réaction formé avec un faible rendement. Le réaction intervenant entre les mêmes atomes de recul du sélénium et C0 a n'a pas produit d'0C 8a Se et les atomes de 75 Se dûs à la réaction (η, γ) n'ont pas réagi avec CO pour donner OC 75 Se. Ces faibles rendements contrastent nettement avec les résultats d'un travail analogue portant sur les réactions chimiques d'atomes de recul de 35 S.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
