“…El creciente protagonismo de las instituciones públicas regionales y locales en la promoción de la IED, obliga a una necesaria interacción entre los agentes a nivel nacional y subnacional (Dupasquier y Osakwe, 2006;Fuller et al, 2003;Jenkins, 2003;Kersan-Škabić, 2015;Liebrechts, 2009;Phelps y Alden, 1999), y en este sentido, Ortega y Griffin ( 2009) sugieren el modelo de red hub-and-speak como la forma más integrada de coordinación entre los dos tipos de agencia, ya que, en este modelo, la nacional recibe las consultas y las canaliza a las agencias regionales más adecuadas. Estos autores sugieren que, en comparación con sus contrapartes nacionales, las agencias regionales han demostrado ser más conscientes de las necesidades y oportunidades que caracterizan a la economía local y están más preparadas para desempeñar el papel de «interlocutores de negociación» locales con inversores extranjeros.…”

“…Greater FDI inflows are needed to supplement domestic savings. Compare to other sources of international capital, FDI provides advantages as it offers a relatively more stable flow, increases employment and trade, and helps augment productivity capacity (Iamsiraroj and Ulubaşoğlu, 2015).Besides, FDI inflows can play a significant role in increasing the level of competitiveness and development of a country (Kersan-Škabić, 2015). In return, the host country can offer foreign firms a new market, relatively cheap labour, and natural resources.…”

The nexus between foreign direct investment and economic growth has long been among the most debated issues in macroeconomics. Some studies find a positive link between the two factors, but others find no evidence. This current research fills the gap by analysing the causal nexus between foreign direct investment and economic growth in Indonesia for the period 1970-2018. Indonesia as a developing country is one of the largest recipients of FDI flow; hence the study on the impact of FDI on the economic growth is very much important. This current research employs a contemporary time-series procedure, involving several unit-root tests namely Augmented-Dickey-Fuller (ADF), Phillips-Perron (PP), Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS), and Lee-Strazicich (LS), an Auto-Regressive-Distributed-Lag (ARDL) bounds-testing method for cointegration, and Granger causality test. The findings provide evidence of long-run and short-run causal direction from GDP to FDI. In contrast, FDI generates only a short-run relationship on GDP. The Granger causality test confirms the finding in ARDL that there is a unidirectional causality running from GDP to FDI.

Purpose This study aims to investigate how investment promotion agencies (IPAs) attract funds effectively from emerging to established countries. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative action research (AR) study with data collected from focus groups and semi-structured interviews, observation and journaling. Comparative case studies are also presented to provide an external perspective to the researchers’ internal action researcher positions. Findings The research identifies four main factors that impact IPAs’ effectiveness in seeking a strategic asset in the UK from a developing country, China. The factors are policy advocacy, targeting industry, regional strategy and cultural adaption, which provide positive and significant influences on IPAs’ effectiveness. Research limitations/implications Little research has been published about the roles of IPAs in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) from a developing to a developed country. The study uses an AR approach and case studies, which have not previously been used to investigate IPAs’ performance. The study extends the sparse extant research and provides insights into what influences the performance of IPAs, thus contributing to knowledge and practice. Practical implications The findings provide insights into the ways in which IPAs influence FDI flows. The research contributes to discipline knowledge and practice by identifying factors influencing funding in a non-traditional manner, that is from a developing to a developed country. Originality/value Little research has been published about the roles of IPAs in attracting FDI from a developing to a developed country. The study uses an AR approach and case study, which have not previously been used to investigate IPAs’ performance. The study extends the sparse extant research and provides insights into what influences the performance of IPAs, thus contributing to knowledge and practice.
