Therefore this study investigates the role of exchange rate on the relationship between foreign direct investment and economic growth over the period 1986 to 2018 using annual time series data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. Augmented Dicker-fuller Unit Root Test and ARDL model were used for the analyses. The ARDL Bounds test to cointegration revealed that economic growth, foreign direct investment, export, import and exchange rate do not have long run relationship over the period under study. The results showed that foreign direct investment has positive relationship with economic growth at maximum, average and minimum level of exchange rate but the relationship is only significant at maximum level over the period under study. This means that at maximum level of exchange rate, an increase in foreign direct investment will lead to a risein economic growth. The results also showed that export has significant positive relationship with economic growth meaning that an increase in export will lead to a rise in economic growth while import showed insignificant negative relationship with economic growth. Based on the results, the study recommended that further depreciation of Nigeria’s currency should be encourage so as to allow more inflow of foreign direct investment considering its positive impact on economic growth while the Nigerian Government is encouraged to design and implement policies that will spur export by eliminating stringent excise duties and discouraging import which exerts negative influence on economic growth.","PeriodicalId":42560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investment Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48189586","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}

The financial statements provide critical information that is useful to various groups, investors, standard setters, shareholders and government. The practices of various methods of earnings management are classified into accounting-based and market- based earnings management. The study classified the earnings management techniques in various ways that affect the quality of financial statements in the pre and post-IFRS adoption. The introduction of IFRS and its accompanying standards in the area of earnings management might imply real improvements in the financial statements about the quality. The earnings management techniques include the following: earnings management towards a target, earnings smoothing, discretionary accruals, accruals quality, and timely loss recognition as against other proxies of accounting quality. These are opportunities managers have to get quality Financial Statements that accomplish their intentions. The essence is that they use them to achieve their objectives either getting the desired level of profit or not recording losses for the business. The review results are that in the pre-IFRS the earnings management in use was the accrual-based earnings technique in which managers adjust assumptions and estimates the accounting system. In the post-IFRS, managers revert to real transactions based earnings management which involves the timing and structuring actual business activities to achieve a desired financial reporting result (for example, the timing of the sale of equipment that will result in a gain in a quarter in which extra earnings are needed, delaying major repairs, advertising, research, and development expenses write–off, and foregoing capital projects that positive net present value).","PeriodicalId":42560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investment Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46525267","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}

This strategy is intended to bring higher economic growth as the country wants to boost the performance of manufacturing sector.

Thus, it is important for Indonesia to learn from other countries, particularly its competitive neighboring countries, such as Thailand of how this country can develop its SEZs. Thailand is becoming the center of world class manufacturing through the development of SEZs. This qualitative study aims to gives ideas on how Thailand develops its SEZs by looking at several factors, such as political-economy landscape, industrial policy, investment services, growth of SEZs, global value chain participation, and green industrialization. This research finds out that SEZ’s contribution towards FDI growth in Thailand has fluctuated in recent years due to political instability and tighten environmental policy.

The recent theoretical progress in new century supplied a new perspective focused on firm heterogeneity such as the firm’s factor mobility to explain the diversity of international organization of production choices including the mode choice of ODI. Respectively, we supposed three hypothesizes based on theoretical discussion with combining the new-classical international direct investment theory and the frontier theoretical progress of international organization of production. We use micro level data for more than 2200 large scale ODI transactions by Chinese multinationals to study the relationship between cross-border factor mobility and ODI mode choice with a panel logit estimation. Our results testified all three hypothesizes supposed. Firstly, the results provide evidence that cross-border factor mobility affects the choice between Greenfield and M&A ODI. Secondly, the results also support the view that ODI mode choices are influenced by characteristics of host economies. The ease of registering property has a positive effect on the probability of choosing Greenfield ODI, while the ease of obtaining credit, enforcing contracts and trading across borders has a positive effect on the probability of choosing M&A. Finally, we find that the probability of choosing M&A increases when a multinational belongs to an industry that relies on obtaining natural resources or investment takes place in an economy with high labor costs. In general, our research shows that ODI mode choices by Chinese multinationals varies across host countries and industries due to the internal trade-off impact from the firm heterogeneity such as factor mobility. Moreover, at the end we discussed two short boards of our empirical process due to the data shortage problem and take a positive prospect for the following research.","PeriodicalId":42560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investment Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42687981","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}
