A framework, called EFPIF (e-Financial Process Integration Framework), was proposed that can come to financial information and investment analysis integration, and provide an interaction framework to investors, investment advisory corporation, dealer in securities, bank, and quoted compa...

We argue that the trend toward international investment agreements (IIAs) with stricter investment rules is driven by competitive diffusion, namely defensive moves of developing countries concerned about foreign direct investment (FDI) diversion in favor of competing host countries. Accounting for spatial dependence in the formation of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and preferential trade...

We solve a Dixit and Pindyck type irreversible investment problem in continuous time under the assumption that the project value follows a Cox–Ingersoll–Ross process. This setup works well for modeling foreign direct investment in the framework of real options, when the exchange rate is uncertain and the project value fixed in a foreign currency. We indicate how the solution qualitatively diffe...
