Investor-State Disputes in Balkan, post-Soviet Union and Near and Middle East Countries
The network of international investment agreements (IIAs) sees a rapid expansion in the last three decades. With it also the number of international investor-State disputes (ISDS), where foreign investors allege governments of breaches of IIAs, increases sharply also in Balkan, post-Soviet Union and Near and Middle East (BSNME) countries. These disputes are frequently seen to negatively interfere with the national sovereignty of host governments …
Short-term Labour Migration from the Republic of Armenia to the Russian Federation
We explore the determinants of short-term labour migration from Armenia to Russia based on a unique panel dataset. A dynamic switching regression model with endogenous switching is applied. Our evidence pinpoints migration experience, the expected individual income gap from migration, low job opportunities in Armenia and the possibility of diversifying income risks as the most important determinants. Family ties turn out to be insignificant. The …
Does Lowering Dividend Tax Rates Increase Dividends Repatriated? Evidence of Intrafirm Cross-Border Dividend Repatriation Policies by German Multinational Enterprises

Second, results imply that high dividend taxes indeed have …

It fills a gap in the competitiveness debate concerning developing countries and provides convincing explanations for the success or failure of countries to catch up. The possibility and the causes of a growing polarisation between successful and less successful developing nations is argued conceptually and on the basis of empirical evidence (relating primarily to Asia, but …
Austrian Manufacturing MNEs
This article assesses the last 100 years of Austrian FDI. Before 1914 Austrian firms rarely engaged in FDI, mainly since the large home market had a high growth potential and since Austrian firms - although among the largest domestically - were smaller than their international competitors, less diversified and less vertically integrated, and hence their growth was based domestically and internally oriented. Despite the ‘automatic’ increase of FDI…
