TL;DR: The Monterrey Consensus agreed at the UN summit on Financing for Development in 2002 promised a breakthrough in terms of donor generosity, aid effectiveness and new means of financing as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The Monterrey Consensus agreed at the UN summit on Financing for Development in 2002 promised a breakthrough in terms of donor generosity, aid effectiveness and new means of financing. However, the development orientation of world leaders proved to be short-lived. This is even though our evaluation reveals progress since Monterrey in some areas, notably debt relief and private (FDI) flows. Calls for substantially scaling up regular aid had little effect, and financial innovations contributed only marginally to overall development financing so far. There is not much progress either from the perspective of critics focusing on the quality of aid. In particular, we find that the targeting of aid according to need and merit leaves much to be desired. The gap between words and deeds continues to be wide with regard to aid proliferation and donor coordination, too.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the long-run effect of FDI on health in developed countries using panel cointegration techniques, and found a significant and negative long run effect.
Abstract: This paper examines the long-run effect of FDI on health in developed countries. Using panel cointegration techniques, we find a significant and negative long-run effect.

TL;DR: The authors analyzed and evaluated data on exchange rate expectations after the collapse of Lehman Brothers for more than 60 economies over different horizons and found that market expectations are superior compared to trend and carry trade strategies based on economic evaluation criteria despite a weak statistical performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze firms' offshoring strategy from an empirical perspective, focusing on market thickness, firm heterogeneity and the relative costs of organisation modes. But the analysis is based on a data set from French manufacturing firms that provides detailed information on their offsharing strategy.
Abstract: This study analyses firms’ offshoring strategy from an empirical perspective. It focuses on market thickness, firm heterogeneity and the relative costs of organisation modes. This study focuses on a set of theoretical predictions and creates a set of suitable variables to test their validity. This analysis is based on a data set from French manufacturing firms that provides detailed information on their offshoring strategy. The choice of offshoring modes is investigated through the estimation of a multinomial logit model and related to a set of explanatory variables at firm, industry and country level. The results emphasise the role of firm heterogeneity, asset specificity and of market thickness.

TL;DR: The authors performed Logit and Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood estimations to assess the determinants of bilateral FDI flows and found that economic geography variables are more relevant for FDI from nontraditional sources.
Abstract: Non-traditional source countries of FDI play an increasingly important role, notably in developing host countries. This raises the question of whether the location choices differ systematically between traditional and non-traditional source countries. We perform Logit and Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood estimations to assess the determinants of bilateral FDI flows. We find that economic geography variables are more relevant for FDI from nontraditional sources. The risk aversion of non-traditional investors is not consistently weaker than that of traditional investors. Resource abundance and superior technology in the host countries represent minor pull factors of FDI from non-traditional sources.
