Japanese foreign direct investment : recent trends, determinants, and prospects
No full textIn the late 1980s, Japan became the biggest source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the world. The main beneficiaries of the rapid increase in investment flows were industrial countries, but the developing world (especially East Asia and Latin America) also received substantial inflows. In East Asia, the newly industrial economies (NIEs) of Hong Kong, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan (China) were, at first, production bases for Japanese manufacturing in the 1970s and early 1980s. But in the late 1980s, these countries became new, expanding consumer markets, attracting huge Japanese investments in the tertiary (service) sector, while investments in manufacturing shrank rapidly because of rising labor costs. The Association of Southeast Nations (ASEAN) and China became Japan's new production base. In Latin America (mostly small Caribbean countries) Japan's focus is almost exclusively on tax havens. Globally, Japan's investments in the secondary (manufacturing) and service sectors of the major Latin American nations are only marginal. Japanese investment flows declined drastically after 1989, mostly because of the depressed global and domestic economy, after rapid asset price deflation in Japan. Hardest hit by the decline were the United States and Europe. Japanese FDI flows to developing countries also declined, but less. The biggest losers were the NIEs and the Caribbean tax havens. The biggest losers were the NIEs and the Caribbean tax havens. Japanese investments continued to grow in other Latin American countries and, even more, in the ASEAN and China. Japanese investors sharply reduced tertiary sector investments, primarily geared to maintaining or expanding markets. Investments in the secondary sector, making use of low-cost production, continued to expand. This trend is expected to continue in the near future, with FDI flows declining further, albeit more slowly. Low-wage production countries such as China and Indonesia will attract an increasing share. Investment to expand markets in the industrial countries and the NIEs are likely to decline. But medium-term prospects for Japanese FDI in developing countries are brighter, as economic recovery and continuing current account surpluses in Japan will lead to a resumption of active foreign investment by Japanese multinational corporations.Foreign Direct Investment,Environmental Economics&Policies,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Economic Theory&Research,Trade and Regional Integration
Large-amplitude flapping of an inverted-flag in a uniform steady flow – A vortex-induced vibration
No full textThe dynamics of a cantilevered elastic sheet, with a uniform steady flow impinging on its clamped-end, have been studied widely and provide insight into the stability of flags and biological phenomena. Recent measurements by Kim et al. J. Fluid Mech. 736, R1 (2013) show that reversing the sheet’s orientation, with the flow impinging on its free-edge, dramatically alters its dynamics. In contrast to the conventional flag, which exhibits (small-amplitude) flutter above a critical flow speed, the inverted-flag displays large-amplitude flapping over a finite band of flow speeds. In this talk, we use a combination of mathematical theory, scaling analysis and measurement to establish that this large-amplitude flapping motion is a vortex-induced vibration. Onset of flapping is shown mathematically to be due to divergence instability, verifying previous speculation based on a two-point measurement. Reducing the sheet’s aspect ratio (height/length) increases the critical flow speed for divergence and ultimately eliminates flapping. The flapping motion is associated with a separated flow – detailed measurements and scaling analysis show that it exhibits the required features of a vortex-induced vibration. Flapping is found to be periodic predominantly, with a transition to chaos as flow speed increases. Cessation of flapping occurs at higher speeds – increasing damping reduces the flow speed range where flapping is observed, as required. These findings have implications to leaf motion and other biological processes, such as the dynamics of individual hairs, because they also can present an inverted-flag configuration
Privatization and foreign investment in the developing world, 1988-92
No full textForeign direct investment in the developing world has grown rapidly in recent years, making it one of the most important sources of financing to developing countries. The author presents a database on about 1,100 global privatization transactions from 1988 through 1992. Between 1988 and 1992, developing country governments earned almost US$62 billion in revenues from the sale of state-owned assets. About a third of those revenues came from foreign sources. Privatization in Latin America represents about 66 percent of privatization in the developing world. Privatization in Europe, including Eastern Europe, accounts for 17 percent, and privatization in East Asia, 13 percent. The heaviest foreign participation is in Eastern Europe, primarily for lack of domestic financing. Foreign investors'general participation in privatization programs was strong, providing developing countries with substantial amounts offoreign exchange. The relative size of the privatization program and the degree of openness to foreigners are important determinants of foreign direct investment. Each dollar in privatization revenue generates an additional 35 cents in new foreign direct investment inflows, and a 1 percent increase in foreign participation adds another 50 cents. In addition to the direct inflow of funds through the sale of assets, many developing countries also increasingly attracted foreign investment outside of their privatization programs. Privatization of infrastructure and the financial sector especially seem to have sent important signals to foreign investors, indicating an improved economic environment and possibly the eventual elimination of bottlenecks. Improved expectations about the profitability of investment projects render these countries more attractive to foreign investors.Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management,Environmental Economics&Policies,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Economic Theory&Research
Los intangibles y el capital intelectual. Avances en la investigación
No full textEsta ponencia sobre avances en la investigación acerca de los intangibles y del capital intelectual (CI), se basa en el seguimiento de una la línea de investigación de más de una década. Parte de la problemática de las limitaciones de la contabilidad financiera para mostrar todos los intangibles que forman el valor de una empresa. Así, esta reconoce sólo algunos de ellos y bajo ciertas condiciones que hacen a la prudencia en la valoración del patrimonio. Bajo esta óptica se diferencian los intangibles reconocidos de aquellos no reconocidos y que forman parte del denominado CI que, en las empresas cotizadas queda evidenciado en la brecha existente entre el valor contable y el valor de mercado de las acciones. En esta etapa del proceso de investigación, se partió del objetivo de analizar tanto los criterios, métodos y prácticas de valoración de los activos intangibles reconocidos contablemente, como las políticas y criterios de revelación de información sobre las distintas dimensiones del CI. Para lograr el objetivo, por un lado, se compulsaron datos empíricos en empresas cotizadas argentinas y analizaron con herramientas de análisis estadístico. Por otro, se siguió efectuando un análisis de la literatura existente (aportes teóricos y estudios empíricos). En función a ello, se efectuó un análisis crítico sobre la normativa contable nacional e internacional de medición y revelación de los mismos y de los distintos métodos de valoración; se diferenció el tratamiento contable y prácticas de valoración y revelación en empresas cotizadas y en pymes; se reveló el comportamiento de las empresas cotizadas, sobre divulgación de información voluntaria de las distintas dimensiones del CI; se evaluó tanto la relevancia valorativa de los intangibles reconocidos y del CI, como sus factores determinantes en empresas cotizadas en el mercado de capitales argentinoFil: Corna, Darío R..

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
