This paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and corruption on environmental pollution in Tunisia over period 1984–2014 by applying an autoregressive distributed lag model. Our results revealed existence Environmental Kuznets Curve Tunisian case. The haven hypothesis postulates that polluting industrial activity developed countries is shifting to developing with less st...

The aim of this study is to the long run relationship among Foreign Direct Investment, Trade (Imports & Exports) and Economic growth for Pakistan. The co-integrating VAR framework is used to find the relationship over the period of 1965 to 2005. The results show that there are two long run relationships exist between GDP, Imports and Exports and FDI. First long run relationship shows that both ...

A hierarchical framework is proposed to address the issues of modeling different type of words in keyword spotting (KWS). Keyword models are built at various levels according to the availability of training set resources for each individual word. The proposed approach improves the performance of KWS even when no training speech is available for the keywords. It also suggests an easier way to co...

The objective of the paper is twofold. First, is to examine causal relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth in Malaysia and second, to look at the impact of FDI on the stability of economic growth and the impact of growth on stability of FDI. Using time series data, the paper implements the recent Toda and Yamamoto’s (1995) non-causality test to establish the dir...

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a major factor in the globalization scenario. However, contrary to the core pro-market tenets of the economic school supporting globalization, the flows of FDI have grown side by side with a whole array of FDI subsidies dispensed by the “visible hand” of the state. Scholars have studied the links between FDI and economic growth and between subsidies and actual...

This paper is aimed at analyzing the interrelation between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Energy Consumption (EC) in Mexico during period 1970-2014. To do that, we carry out a cointegration test Granger causality analysis. The empirical results from show stable link growth rates of FDI EC long run. While Granger’s that short run there unidirectional rate toward EC, while medium bidirection...

The paper proposes a bond graph approach to model based fault detection and isolation (FDI) that uses residual sinks. These elements couple a reference model of a process engineering system to a bond graph model of the system that is subject to disturbances caused by faults. In this paper it is assumed that two faults do not appear simultaneously. The underlying mathematical model is a Differen...

The article examines an opportunity of corruption restriction exercised by international business community in Russia. Integration of Russian economy into the international business does not reduce corruption inside the country. Foreign actors investing in Russia under the condition of obtaining their required rates of returns will be reluctant to harm their investments by involving into antico...

Conclusive evidence supporting the widely held view that developing countries should draw on foreign direct investment (FDI) to spur economic development is surprisingly hard to come by. We raise the proposition that results on the growth impact of FDI are ambiguous because highly aggregated FDI data, used in virtually all previous empirical studies, blur the differences between resourceseeking...
