“…Another important component of an analysis and assessment of the inflow of foreign capital in the form of direct investment, especially in the context of a given country's development manifested by its entering subsequent stages on the IDP, is the structure of the incoming foreign capital, including the degree of technological intensity in the industrial processing sector. The following sections are distinguished with respect to technological intensity: high tech, medium-high tech, medium-low tech and low tech (Sciences and technology… 2018; Pietrucha et al, 2018).…”

“…This suggests that good institutions provide a foundation upon which trade benefits on poverty can be realized. Although focusing on the impact of aggregated trade on poverty, Zahonogo (2016) and Pietrucha, Żelazny, Kozłowska, and Sojka (2018) provide evidence that without good institutions, poverty levels may increase or at least be unaffected by trade liberalization.…”

Global trade development has provided noteworthy global poverty gains since the 1990s. Accordingly, Africa has gradually engaged itself in trade and trade policy reforms through multilateral and regional trade agreements among other initiatives. Nonetheless, poverty levels in the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region remain relatively high. Recognizing that existing evidence on trade-poverty nexus is based on aggregate trade, we provide a new perspective on SSA by disaggregating trade by sources for the period 2003-2017. We employed the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) estimation of a panel data model derived from the Modified Basic Household Model and Neo-Conservative Poverty Theory for analysis. The results document poverty gains from trade liberalization, with the extent varying according to sources. Specifically, trade from MENA and within SSA was found to offer more gains. Furthermore, findings suggest that poverty gains from trade are strengthened with better institutional quality. It follows that to accelerate poverty gains from trade liberalization, SSA should promote intra-Africa trade as well as trade with MENA countries. To accelerate the gains, Africa has to invest in better institutions, in particular, to improve governance and corruption eradication. Contribution/Originality:This study contributes to existing literature on trade-poverty nexus in two ways.Firstly, instead of basing conclusions on aggregate trade, we focus on trade by sources. We disaggregate SSA's trade by regional sources. Secondly, we introduce control of corruption interaction term to control for institutional quality in the analysis. INTRODUCTIONDespite the worldwide poverty rate having immensely reduced since 2000, poverty alleviation remains topical.The United Nations, through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), places poverty eradication at the top of the global development agenda. SDG number one envisages ending extreme poverty in all forms by 2030. The African Union Commission (AUC) Agenda 2063's aspiration for "a high standard of living, quality of life and wellbeing for all citizens" (New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD, 2019) targets an end to poverty as a priority. The World Bank and World Trade Organisation (WB and WTO, 2019) recognize trade liberalization as an avenue to eradicate poverty.

“…It is noted that at the first stages of the transition from social to capitalism post-communist countries experienced a deep recession. In these conditions, FDI is one of the most important factors of economic development (Yucel, 2014;Pietrucha et al, 2018). There is no consensus on the debate whether FDI flows have positive effects on economic growth or not, but in a number of papers on post-communist countries, a positive relation between foreign direct investment and economic growth has been revealed (Yucel, 2014;Próchniak, 2011;Staehr, 2017).…”

“…Domestic industries can be significantly influenced by external stakeholders through internationalization of financial and human resources and information flows. With high competition in the global markets, domestic manufacturing industries also experience certain pressure from foreign direct investment (FDI) bringing new technologies and alternative labor standards (Pietrucha et al, 2018;Nazarczuk & Krajewska, 2018). In general, FDI inflows often improve productivity for domestic and foreignowned enterprises for numerous reasons.…”

Research background: There has been an extensive process of foreign and joint ownership enterprises establishment in the Russian economy since 2006. Domestic manufacturing industry has been experiencing certain pressure on behalf of foreign direct investment bringing new technologies and higher labor requirements. Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to investigate differences in employment strategies and labor indicators in the case of enterprises in foreign and joint ownership (FJO) and domestic enterprises in Russian ownership (RO). We analyze the manufacturing industry in Russia and its regions under conditions of stable and crisis periods. Methods: The study enhances the analysis of Rosstat’s statistical data for 2005–2016 and applies ANOVA method to compare the employment results for companies with different ownership patterns. The research is carried out both at the national level of the Russian Federation and at the regional level according to the regions. Findings & Value added: The study identifies significant decline in employment and in-crease in productivity for the period of 2005–2016. In contrast to the crisis of 2008–2009, in 2014–2016 there has been no sharp drop in employment. However, there is a substantial decline in real salaries which is comparable to the crisis of 2008-2009. According to ANOVA, statistically significant differences in labor indicators between FJO and RO companies are manifested. RO companies dominate in employment and payroll funds, while FJO enter-prises have better productivity results with a higher average salary. FJO companies demonstrated faster growth in employment and payroll fund in relatively stable conditions (2012–2013). However, they reacted with a significant reduction in employment for a new crisis (2014–2016), although the creation of new FJO enterprises continued in separate regions of Russia. The results can be used in social policy to regulate the employment and earnings of industrial workers in the current economic conditions.
