In this discerning book, David Collins provides an eloquent analysis of performance requirements and investment incentives as vital tools of economic policy.

Book Description
This book covers the policies of governments and countries toward direct foreign investment in both developed and developing countries. A team of consultants to the World Bank addresses three broad questions regarding foreign investment: Do countries compete for foreign investment? Are host country incentives effective in attracting foreign investment? Do performance requirements imposed by host countries alter either investment or operational decisions of foreign investors? To answer these questions, both government officials in ten countries and representatives of more than thirty multinational companies were interviewed. In addition, seventy-four investment projects in the automobile, computer, food products, and petrochemical industries were selected for intensive review.

Book Description
Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Business economics - Law, grade: A, INES Ruhengeri Institute of Applied Science, language: English, abstract: This study examines whether or not investment incentives are lawful under international law. In contrast with the mainstream literature, this study asserts that investment incentives are neither always efficient nor lawful. The study indicates that the legality of investment incentives depends on how they are used. They will be lawful if they comply with the principle of national treatment and MFN treatment; and will be unlawful if they violate those principles, especially if they benefit domestic investors over foreign investors or if they benefit investors of some countries over investors of other countries. Furthermore, performance requirements may be a test for the legality of investment incentives as host states are not free to impose any kind of performance requirements to the investors, as a condition to accord them incentives. Countries that are members of WTO are not allowed to use performance requirements which are prohibited by TRIMs Agreement like local content requirements, trade balancing requirements and export control requirements.

Book Description
Governments often use direct subsidies or tax credits to encourage investment and promote economic growth and other development objectives. Properly designed and implemented, these incentives can advance a wide range of policy objectives (increasing employment, promoting sustainability, and reducing inequality). Yet since design and implementation are complicated, incentives have been associated with rent-seeking and wasteful public spending. This collection illustrates the different types and uses of these initiatives worldwide and examines the institutional steps that extend their value. By combining economic analysis with development impacts, regulatory issues, and policy options, these essays show not only how to increase the mobility of capital so that cities, states, nations, and regions can better attract, direct, and retain investments but also how to craft policy and compromise to ensure incentives endure.
