“…From all of model specification proposed in this study, all control variables have a significant influence on FDI Inflow and the variable Crime is negatively significantly related to FDI Inflow. This finding confirms the study by Daniele & Marani (2011) that conducted a panel analysis using data from 103 provinces during the period 2002-2006, and found that foreign investors perceived organized crime "as a signal of a socio-institutional system unfavorable for FDI". …”

“…Another study by Madrazo-Rojas (2009) finds that violent organized crime has a negative impact on FDI in Mexican states. Lastly, Daniele & Marani, 2011, find a negative association between organized crime and FDI in Italian provinces. More recently, Albanese & Marinelli, 2013 find that in Italy, criminal acts significantly weaken productivity.…”

This study examines the impact of crime incidence on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Indonesian provinces. This study uses panel data covering 31 provinces for the period 2005 to 2015. We involve Total Crime, Property Crime, Violence, Vandalism, Arson, Fraud, Homicides and Kidnapping as variable of crime. The results show that crime variables have significant impact on FDI. We find that for every increase in total crime incidence per 100,000 people by ten percent, FDI is expected to decrease by approximately 0.95 percent. The results of this study suggest that besides boosting economic growth, stimulating infrastructure development, and lowering the provincial minimum wages, government needs to pay attention to crime incidence in each province. Government should allocate adequate resources to minimize the crime rate. Abstrak Studi ini mengkaji dampak kejadian kejahatan terhadap investasi asing (FDI) di provinsi-provinsi di

“…Mostly important for the case of Italy, we are not controlling for the quality of institutions in the origin and destination regions. In the case of Italy, a vast empirical literature has documented the significant lower endowment of social capital in the South which is systematically associated with lower economic outcomes, a more fragile civil environment and a lower quality of local institutions with respect to the Northern part of the country (Daniele and Marani, 2011;De Blasio and Nuzzo, 2010;Di Liberto and Sideri, 2011). Therefore, our indicator…”

Abstract (max. 100) This paper investigates the effect of geographical, industrial, organizational and institutional proximity on the probability that any two firms located in Italy engage in a M&A deal. Within a logistic rare event framework, we investigate 4,261 actual deals completed over the period 2000-2011 and around 3.8 million potential deals. We find robust evidence that all forms of proximity have a positive effect, especially industrial relatedness. Moreover, we find evidence that proximities generate asymmetric effects on M&A deals, depending on the location of bidders and targets and on whether some specific individual characteristics are featured by the acquirer or by the target firm.

“…From the previously mentioned arguments, we can suggest several factors that could happen within a region: Migration caused by criminal activities, decreases in personal consumption (Cullen and Levitt, 1999), reduction in personal use (Mejía and Restrepo, 2010), and relocation and closure of companies (Greenboum, Dugan and Lafree, 2007), given the fact that retail companies are largely affected by criminal organizations and extortion as firms in the retail sector are more likely to be victims of criminal organizations through blackmail and intimidation (Daniele and Marani, 2011).…”

Insecurity has led to slow growth in the different regions in Mexico. But it has influenced much more in the touristic areas of the country. This is the case of the municipality of Acapulco Guerrero, place considered as one of the most insecure worldwide. Through the prevalent information on insecurity in the municipalities of the country available in the National Institute of Geography and Statistics (INEGI for its acronym in Spanish) and the information on the income of tourism provided by SESNSP of the period 1999-2014, we constructed an index of violence, which shows that the highest concentration of insecurity is located in Acapulco and Chilpancingo principally. This problem has negatively influenced the growth of the region, given its significant impact on tourism. ResumenLa inseguridad ha ocasionado un lento crecimiento en las diferentes regiones mexicanas. Pero ha influido mucho más en las zonas turísticas del país, ejemplo de ello es el municipio de Acapulco Guerrero, lugar considerado como una de las más inseguras a nivel internacional. Mediante la información prevaleciente sobre la inseguridad en los municipios del país disponible en el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) e información sobre el ingreso del turismo que proporciona SESNSP del periodo 1999-2014, construimos un índice de violencia con el que mostramos que la mayor concentración de la inseguridad se localiza en Acapulco y Chilpancingo principalmente, y que este problema ha influido negativamente en el crecimiento de la región dado su impacto significativo en el turismo.Palabras clave: inseguridad; turismo; crecimiento económico. Insegurança e seu impacto no turismo em Guerrero: uma abordagem espacial, 1999-2014Resumo A insegurança levou a retardar o crescimento em diferentes regiões do Méxi-co. Mas tem influenciado muito mais em áreas turísticas do país, exemplo é o município de Acapulco Guerrero, um lugar considerado um dos mais inseguros internacionalmente. Pela informação que prevalece sobre a insegurança em municípios do país disponíveis no INEGI e informações sobre turismo de renda proporciona SESNSP do período 1999-2014, construímos um índice de violência com que vamos mostrar que a maior concentração de insegurança esta localizadas principalmente em Acapulco e Chilpancingo, e este problema tem influenciado negativamente o crescimento da região dado ao seu impacto significativo no turismo.Palavras-chave: Insegurança; turismo; crescimento econômico.
