Along with the opening up of markets to international investment, innovations that should enhance overseas investor interest include the development of meaningful GCC share returns and banking share returns indices. It is clear from almost four years of daily data, that unlagged GCC banking returns and GCC stock market returns are significantly and positively related. Over the longer term, they are also significantly cointegrated. The GCC banking industry is a major component of the GCC share market. Causality tests demonstrate that dual causality exists but stronger causality runs positively from GCC banking returns to GCC stock market returns. GCC banking stock returns are exogenous. The evidence supports the notion that, because of such interdependence it is vital for the economic health of the GCC, that their banking systems remain financially sound. However in order to relieve the mounting pressure on bank debt as oil revenues and repatriated funds dwindle, it is important that the stock markets be opened in due course to outside or non Arab international equity investment.","PeriodicalId":365224,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Investment (Topic)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133930780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Investment Protection in the Americas: The Legal, Economic and Policy Implications of the Investment Chapter in the Ftaa","authors":"Laura Páez","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.877067","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.877067","url":null,"abstract":"The following paper analyses possible legal and economic arguments supporting the inclusion of an investment chapter in the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), which is currently on the negotiating agenda. In particular, by looking at some of the former integration efforts and their contribution to investment protection, it draw lessons from these previous experiences, in an attempt to determine what could realistically be expected from the FTAA. Further, provisions in existing FTAs are compared with the FTAA proposal on investment, in order to determine if the latter will either congest or genuinely enhance investment protection. From a legal perspective, the cross-comparison of existing agreements reveals that the FTAA investment chapter could have the positive effect of raising protection and harmonizing treatment in the region. However, the economic rationale for the FTAA fostering investments is not so strong. Existing FTAs with investment provisions have promoted trade rather than investments, as the empirical analysis reveals. In the particular case of Andean countries, evidence on substitution is found, where sourcing countries prefer to trade rather than invest. This means that the FTAA is likely to promote trade rather than investments in that region, as the previous experiences with the Andean Community of Nations (CAN), NAFTA and the Group of 3 suggests. Therefore, despite the inclusion of an investment chapter in the FTAA and its positive effect of raising legal certainty, FDI is not expected to increase as a result of higher protection. Therefore, if countries are to benefit from the spillovers of greater capital flows they must focus on economic policy design in the FTAA context. In the light of the unsatisfactory reforms in South America, the negotiation outcome of the investment chapter will greatly determine the extent to which members may define their policy and development strategies.","PeriodicalId":365224,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Investment (Topic)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130882872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beginning with the then U.N. Secretary General’s \"global compact\" speech in 1999, the international legal framework for business and human rights has undergone tremendous change and progress. Yet, for all these developments, there has been no exhaustive examination in the legal academy of all of these events; certainly there is no one piece that discusses or analyzes all the major instruments that have been proposed and endorsed by the U.N. and human rights with respect to businesses. This article attempts to fill that gap. By documenting the rise and development of transnational corporations as potential subjects under international law, the article will help to provide a comprehensive overview of the issues with Transnational Corporations (TNCs) and businesses for the last twelve years. In addition, by examining the Guiding Principles through the lens of bystander rhetoric, the article hopes to point the way forward to the next phase in developing a meaningful accountability structure for TNCs under international law.","PeriodicalId":365224,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Investment (Topic)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121039258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the assumptions underlying this rely on quantitative research setting out correlation and highlighting a narrow range of voices. An ESL-inspired approach to empirical work can question what investors want from a host state legal system while also addressing criticisms of existing literature. As a case study, Sri Lanka is set out as a country actively engaged in attracting foreign investment through the creation of an ideal investment climate. \u0000The discussion first describes the empirical by setting out the role of World Bank rationalities in shaping Sri Lanka’s investment climate. It then defines the analytical, locating ESL in the social sciences and outlining the debates surrounding the central concept of embeddedness. It goes on to design an alternative approach by combining elements of three frames, both addressing existing criticisms and avoiding embeddedness. This is then deployed and the applications and implications for framing relations of foreign investors in Sri Lanka are set out.","PeriodicalId":365224,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Investment (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130384411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
