“…This paper is the first to attempt to tackle these determinants with specific respect to small island developing states (SIDS). Several papers investigate the determinants of FDI with respect to a selection of small economies or SIDS; for example Jayaraman and Choong (2006) focus on the case of Fiji. Read and Soopramanien (2003) find lower inflows of FDI in small economies than in larger ones in absolute terms but not necessarily in relative terms.…”

The role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in small island developing states (SIDS) is an issue that has been neglected until relatively recently. The reasons for this lack of interest are unsurprising, given both the low absolute volume of capital flows involved and the general neglect of issues relating directly to SIDS in the mainstream theoretical and empirical economics literature. For SIDS themselves however, FDI represents an important additional source of investment capital and a potentially critical contributor to growth and development. This paper represents one of the first attempts to analyse the determinants of the inflows of FDI to SIDS. The analysis is undertaken in the context of the existing literature on the determinants of FDI inflows, incorporating insights drawn from recent research on the determinants of growth in small states.

“…Yaylı and Değer (2012) analyzed the unidirectional causal relationship from foreign direct investments to employment for 27 developing countries in the period 1991 -2008. A number of other authors like Mucuk et al (2013), Jayaraman and Singh (2007), Jula and Jula (2017) and Maitah et al (2014), studied the effect of investment on growth in both developed and emerging countries.…”

Economic growth can be seen as an effect of both fiscal policies and different legislative norms applied at national and macroeconomic level. Investments are a determining factor in the evolution of socio-economic life, influencing also the employment rate. This paper aims to identify the influence of investments on economic growth and employment using the vector autoregressive model (VAR). Based on the quarterly data from Romania, between the first quarter of 2000 and the second quarter of 2018, the Granger causality test and the impulse - response function was applied to identify the effect of the investments on the sustainable development of the Romanian economy. The results revealed that investments in Romania influence the economic growth and, implicitly, the employment. In terms of impulse – response function, a negative relationship between investment and employment was identified, which may be due to the fact that the need for human resources is no longer a priority in some sectors of activity due to technology.

“…Los investigadores concluyen que las características de cada industria son importantes para explicar los efectos de la EFIED en la economía de Estados Unidos. Jayaraman & Singh (2007) identificaron relaciones causales unidireccionales entre la EFIED, tanto con el empleo como con el PIB, de Fiji. Recomiendan que se continúe con Fu (2005) examinaron dicha interrelación de variables para China.…”

En este trabajo se utiliza un modelo de vectores autorregresivos (VAR) para examinar la interrelación entre la entrada de flujos de inversión extranjera directa (EFIED), las exportaciones, el producto interno bruto (PIB), la tasa de desempleo (TD) y la tasa de participación laboral (TPL) en Puerto Rico. Los datos utilizados incluyen los años fisca- les de 1980 al 2010. Se encontraron cuatro vectores cointegrados en el sistema, que evidencian la existencia de una relación de largo plazo entre las variables. Los hallazgos sugieren que aumentos consecutivos en la EFIED podrían reducir significativamente la TD e incrementar el interés de los puertorriqueños por ingresar en la fuerza laboral. El mismo resultado se refleja con relación a los incrementos en el nivel de exportaciones. Las variaciones en el PIB se explican principalmente en el largo plazo por la TD.
