Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Georgia
No full textForeign direct investment (FDI) brings host countries capital, productive facilities, and technology transfers, as well as new jobs and management expertise. Thus it is important to understand why in many countries FDI inflow is lower than it would be expected. The goal of this study is to investigate factors determining flow of FDI in Georgia. The key point of the analysis is the impact of stability of economic and legal environment on the pattern of FDI. In particular, we show that (i) the variability of basic macroeconomic fundamentals decreases the flow of FDI, (ii) high volatility of fiscal, business regulations makes FDI smaller, (iii) unstable economic environment does not attract long term investors but mainly speculative capital. Based on theoretical findings we formulate clear message to policy makers stating that in order to expect significant flow of long term and non-speculative foreign capital, first of all, a stable economic and legal environment is needed.Foreign Direct Investment, FDI, determinants of FDI, Georgia
Cyclic cohomology after the excision theorem of Cuntz and Quillen
No full textThe excision theorem of Cuntz and Quillen established the existence of a six term exact sequence in the bivariant periodic cyclic cohomology HP*(–,–) associated with an arbitrary algebra extension 0 ? S ? P ? Q ? 0. This remarkable result enabled far reaching developments in the purely algebraic periodic cyclic cohomology. It also provided a new formalism that led to the creation of new versions of this theory for topological and bornological algebras. In this article we outline some of the developments that resulted from this breakthrough
From Transition to Monetary Integration: Revenues from Seignorage in Poland
No full textThe analysis presented in the paper focuses on seigniorage revenues in the period of transition to market economy and fiscal consequences of European monetary integration. A comprehensive framework for a measurement of seigniorage revenues in transition eriod is presented and estimates of its sources and uses in the period 1990–2000 are computed and analyzed. The analysis reveals that in Poland at the end of the last decade revenues from the money creation have not been extensively used as a tool for financing government expenditures. Furthermore, it is shown that, in contrary to the transition period, an accession to European Monetary Union will be accompanied by significant fiscal gains resulting from redistribution of seigniorage wealth between member countries.seigniorage, central banks, economies in transition, National Bank of Poland, NBP, European integration, EMU.

Understanding Reform: The Case of Poland
No full textThis report reviews the reform process in Poland in the period 1989-2001, from the formation of the first non-Communist government to the defeat of right-wing forces in the 2001 parliamentary elections and the formation of a governing left-wing coalition of social democrats and the peasants’ party (both of them with roots in the Communist era). It reconstructs the sequence of reforms, assesses their relative successes, and focuses on the problem of the stagnation of the reform process at the end of the 1990s.Poland, reform, transition
