Abstract

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the instruments that plays an important role in the economic development and economic growth of countries. Apart from the physical capital and competitiveness they add to the countries, they are structures that contain many advantages such as employment, technology, management and the concept of supervision. They include a commitment to a long-term business effort in a foreign country. Therefore, where they prefer as a location depends on many criteria. This study focuses on measuring the performance of selected G-20 countries in terms of inward FDI flows. In this context, the factors affecting inward FDI flows in countries were compiled using literature and investment reports, and the collected data were evaluated by applying the COPRAS (Complex Proportional Assessment) method. The empirical findings show that the countries with the best performance in foreign direct investments are China, USA and India, respectively.

Seçilmiş G-20 Ülkelerinde Doğrudan Yabancı Yatırımlar: Bir Performans Analizi

Abstract

Doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar (DYY), günümüzde ülkelerin ekonomik kalkınma ve gelişmesinde önemli rol oynayan enstrümanlardan biridir. Ülkelere kattıkları fiziksel sermaye ve rekabet gücünün dışında istihdam, teknoloji, yönetim ve denetim anlayışı gibi çok sayıda avantajı içinde barındıran yapılardır. Yabancı bir ülkede uzun vadeli bir iş çabası taahhüdünü içerirler. Dolayısıyla lokasyon olarak nereyi tercih edecekleri çok sayıda kritere bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada seçilmiş G-20 ülkelerinin doğrudan yabancı yatırım girişleri konusunda performanslarının ölçülmesine odaklanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda ülkelerde doğrudan yabancı yatırım girişlerini etkileyen faktörler literatür ve yatırım raporları kullanılarak derlenmiş ve toplanan veriler COPRAS (Complex Proportional Assessment) metodu uygulanarak değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen ampirik bulgular doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar konusunda performansı en iyi ülkelerin sırası ile Çin, ABD ve Hindistan olduğunu göstermektedir.
