Corruption and FDI inflows
Will the rising global middle-class be risk or reward toward these high-risk investments?
Event details
Corruption still exists in the present day, even in the most developed countries, and is one of the most common political risks faced by MNEs in foreign markets. This talk shall discuss the relationship between host country corruption and inward FDI at country level analysis, and later shall emphasise on the role of global middle-class toward these high-risk investments. The talk will cover the quantitative analysis using random effect and fixed effect models from cross country panel data analysis. Meaningful implications from the results will be addressed with hope to shape better understanding for MNEs’ strategic investment decisions and their risk-management strategies in these high-risk environments.
Key words: high-risk environment; political risk; corruption; FDI; global middle-class; MNEs; investment strategy; risk-management strategy; globalisation; de-globalisation.
