FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND

MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS

course 380.727 -- spring 1998Tuesdays, 6:00 to 8:00 PM

Course Outline and Reading List

Joel Bergsman and Dale R. Weigel

Course organization

The course is organized in two parts:

The first part deals mostly with empirical, factual material -- "positive" in the jargon

of economics. This covers questions such as what is FDI; how large is it; where doesit go; where does it come from; why. What is an MNC; why do they exist; where;

what do they do.

The second part of the course will be mostly "normative" i.e. policy issues that arise

from those facts. Who likes these facts and why; who does not like these facts andwhy; what can or should be done about it.

Prerequisites

No student should enroll in this course without a mastery of the material taught in:

Microeconomic Theory

International Trade Theory

Corporate Finance

Beyond these specific requirements, students should expect a work load that is heavier thanthe average at SAIS.

One class hour of the course is devoted to the results of econometric analysis (i.e. testing ofhypotheses using regression analysis techniques) of the determinants of FDI flows. Students arenot required to use, to criticize or even to understand these techniques; for this topic only theresults are of interest.

Assignments and grading

Because there are only about 26 hours of class for this course, there is considerableimportant material in the readings that cannot be covered in class. To get their money's worth,students should try to read all the assigned readings. As an added incentive, students will beaccountable for all that reading on the two exams and in other written submissions.


2/23

The grade in the course will be based on two written examinations, and six writtensubmissions of cases and similar material.

The two examinations will each cover half of the course material, as described above. The

first will be during the week just before Spring vacation and the second during finals week.Both will be take-home exams. Although the students will have several days to completethem, the scope of the exams will be designed so that they can be done in only two hours of

intensive work. Each exam will make up 30 percent of the course grade.

In addition to the two exams, students will be required to submit six written assignments

which will be analyses of assigned cases or similar exercises. For these assignments thestudents must form and work in groups; each group is to submit only one paper for eachassignment and the whole group will be graded on that paper. The groups must have at leastthree, and no more than five students each. The average grade of the six short written caseanalyses will count for 40 percent of each student's grade.

More information on the case assignments:

The case write-ups must be typed, and (with one exception) are limited to a maximum length

of four pages. They can be done in a very informal manner in order to be brief; devices suchas summary tables, bullet-point lists, etc. are acceptable. But you must use at least 10-pointtype, because anything smaller is difficult to read.

While it is appropriate to come to conclusions about the questions posed by the cases, the

write ups should be analytical rather than promotional in nature; that is, they should notsupport only one side of the questions. Rather, they should analyze all sides of the questions,giving appropriate weight to all considerations regardless of whether the considerations tendto support or not to support the final conclusions or recommendations you make. Be ananalyst, not a salesperson.

Don't use up much of the four page limit repeating material that is in the case. Your audience

is the instructors; you should assume that they already know everything that is in the case (andany supplementary reading material that has been suggested); limit repetition to the minimumnecessary to explain your analysis and justify your conclusions.

Supplementary readings with case:

excerpts of two FIAS reports on Poland:Foreign Direct Investment in Poland (1990).Poland: The Environment for Foreign Direct Investment (A Brief Note), May 1994.

Students should analyze the case from three separate vantage points. The first two should get themost attention in your write-ups:

Gerber management: How attractive is the Alima deal, and why is it attractive? (To do

this you should project cash flows and calculate one or more measures of return to Gerberthat you think might be important, such as internal rate of return, net present value of theinvestment, payback period, etc. The case does not contain all the parameters needed forthis; where necessary you will need to make reasonable assumptions.) What are thedownside risks, and what if anything can be done to reduce them? What should Gerberdo?

7


8/23

Polish Government: What contributions are Gerber likely to make to Polish economic

development if it invests in Alima? What if anything could the Government do (in thepast; now; in the future) to increase such contributions? What are the risks for theGovernment in allowing Gerber to buy Alima? What should the government do?

A student of FDI: What are the important aspects of the role of FDI in the transformation

of economies such as Poland? What have been the limitations on simply selling state-owned enterprises to local private ownership; i.e., has FDI been needed and if so forwhat? From the viewpoint of a potential foreign investor, what are the potential pros andcons of buying an existing enterprise vs. making a greenfield (i.e. completely new)investment?

In this case your write-ups can be as long as six pages.
