PRIN 2008: “An integrated analysis of FDI: Micro, meso and macro determinants and consequences”
http://www2.dse.unibo.it/prin/prin2008/units.php?id=Roma
This research project, in which the CREI collaborates together with the Department of Economics of Roma Tre, is part of a broader national project coordinated by Porf. Riccardo Leoncini of the University of Bologna and which is articulated in five different research units dislocated over the country (Bologna, Foggia, Novara, Padova and Rome). From CREI, Prof. Carlo Pietrobelli, Prof.ssa Lilia Cavallari, Prof. Stefano D’Addona, Dr. Riccardo Crescenzi and Dr. Elisabetta Pugliese participate actively in the project.
The aim of CREI Research Unit is to analyse the impact on the EU of the FDI from the Emerging Powers, by adopting a micro, meso and macro perspective. Thus, particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the local system of innovation of the areas that receive the investments, as well as to the exchange rate and monetary determinants of the investment flows. The project also aims at identifying the effects of the FDI flows on poverty, on the development of the local system of innovation (both of senders and receivers) and on the international division of labour. During 2010 the studies will be presented in WP, workshops and conferences.
