Chapter Chapter 2 in The Impact of International Trade and FDI on Economic Growth and Technological Change, 2013, pp 9-27 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In order to conduct a comprehensive study of the impact of international trade and foreign direct investment on economic growth and technological change it is necessary to provide a framework that clarifies the essential terms and explicates the exact research focus. The link between economic integration or globalisation and economic performance of firms and nations is a vast area of research where one finds contributions from many fields of thought – within or outside the science of economics. This chapter therefore gives the essential lines of demarcation which include conceptual definitions as well as the fundamental theoretical orientation of the present contribution.
