“…Significant effects of institution quality on foreign direct investment and economic performance have been found in various studies (Vadlamannati and Tamazian, 2009, Okada and Samreth, 2014, Asamoah et al, 2016, Buchanan et al, 2012. By using data for 130 countries and regarding the role of corruption as an absorptive capacity (over the period of 1995 -2008), Okada and Samreth (2014) indicated that the direct effect of FDI on economic growth is insignificant, but the growth effect of foreign direct investment is strengthened when interacting with corruption control.…”

This article investigates the role of economic institutions and economic openness in the growth of a specific emerging economy-Vietnam. The data from Vietnamese 63 provinces in the period of 2005-2015 have been collected to examine the influences of institutional quality on the inward FDI, trade and growth. By employing the system GMM estimators, our main findings show that, first, the combined effect of inward FDI with trade openness has a substitute effect on the economic growth while they have a positive impact taken separately. This article discusses this interesting aspect. Second, economic institutions significantly influence the combined effects of foreign direct investment with trade openness in improving economic growth.

“…Too strict foreign trade policy may also influence the attraction of FDI. High customs taxes can be sufficient motive for foreign companies to invest in production for local market, thus avoiding strict protective policy of the country (Vadlamannati & Tamazian, 2009;Cvetanović, Despotović & Mladenović, 2018).…”

The paper considers economic growth of five Western Balkan countries on the one hand, and on the other the affluence of direct foreign investments as one of external sources of growth in the period 2000-2017. The starting point was the attitude that due to insufficient domestic savings and engagement of foreign investments, those countries have to treat external sources of investment as a condition of permanent change of economic growth rate to a higher level, because it is obvious that after the economic crisis in 2009, the economic growth rates do not provide closure of developmental gap with EU countries. Therefore, foreign direct investments are the supplement to domestic accumulation. However, without disclaiming their benefits, it should be borne in mind that they cannot be substitution for domestic saving.

Exchange Rate Policy and Export Performance in Efficiency-Driven Economies

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Increased globalisation of trade has led a growing number of firms to search beyond their traditional domestic markets. As a result, export-led growth has gained focus, particularly amongst industrialising nations, or so-called efficiencydriven economies, in search of economic growth. Policy prescriptions have generally proposed a weakening of the exchange rate as a means to stimulate exports; whilst an exchange rate appreciation would be detrimental to exports and encourage imports. Past research on this topic has been mixed.This research examines the impact of exchange rate on export performance in a sample of nine efficiency-driven economies for the period from 1990 to 2009. These economies, with floating exchange rate arrangements, include Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Thailand and Turkey. Panel data models using a fixed-effects method have been applied in this research. The research finds that a weakening of the exchange rate does not necessarily improve export performance. To the contrary, export growth is associated with a stronger, relative exchange rate. The lag effect of exchange rate movement on export performance is slightly more pronounced, but remains statistically insignificant.
