Přímé zahraniční investice v kontextu konvergence/divergence zemí Visegradské čtyřky
Hlavizňa, Antonín
Aim of this thesis is to evaluate impact of foreign direct investments on convergence/divergence of the Visegrad four to EU15. Theoretical part contains necessary knowledge to execute this evaluation and includes review of empirical research employed with impact of FDI on economic growth. In first part of empirical analysis beta-convergence model is used to discover convergence of observed countries during period 1995-2015. Estimation uses OLS regression. The results show successful convergence of V4 to EU15. Afterwards there is analysis of impact of FDI on economic growth for the same period. Four models with escalating difficulty were used to evaluate this impact by using panel data regression. Pooled OLS and fixed effects are methods used in this regression. In the last model, more EU transition countries are included to confirm one of investigated hypotheses. Results of this analysis show significant and positive impact of FDI on economic growth in EU transitive economies. Using only V4 countries, I did not find out this impact to be significant. At last, all results are evaluated and given to mutual context. Recommendations to economic policy makers are included as well.
Vliv procesu globalizace na proces konvergence rozvojových zemí ve světové ekonomice
Hlavizňa, Antonín
The aim of this work is to evaluate the impact of globalization on the process of convergence of developing countries in the global economy. Review of the literature is devoted to clarifying the notion of convergence, the position of developing countries in the global economy and the most important signs of globalization due to convergence. Following is the calculation of the convergence of per capita GDP in the years 1992-2012 between the countries of the world economy divided by income. Further data with the most important sings of globalization due to convergence are analysed. Finally, some of the convergence problems are identified and some recommendations are made.
