Over the last two decades, we have observed an increasing dominance of private investment in the LDCs'
manufacturing sectors. But the available data do not prove or disprove the social desirability of foreign
investments, as no social-cost benefit method is followed. In recent years new forms of non-DFI business
activity have become more popular in various LDCs e.g. joint ventures, production sharing contracts,
licencing arrangements, international sub-contracting etc.
The dominant model to explain private investment in manufacturing is the product cycle model developed by
Vernon, Hufbauer, Hirsch etc where the enterprises of developed countries generate new technology-intensive
products and processes. Hence now in the 1990s, the new role for the MNCs may be less as suppliers of equity
capital, than as financial intermediators between lenders in the LDCs.
This volume brings together recent studies relating to the following elements of Foreign Direct Investments:
- International Investments and Trade Distortions
- Direct Foreign Investment and Host Country Policies
- Direct Foreign Investment and Trade Flows: Some Case Studies
- Direct Foreign Investments, Promotion Measures and Export Growth
- Expropriation of Direct Foreign Investment: Emerging Evidence
- Intra-LDCs Direct Foreign Investment and Debt Flows
- Evolving Pattern of Foreign Investment: Role of MIGA.
