FDI lens. Consequently, some IPAs have been relatively slow in formulating policies to increase the scale and quality links of such chains, situated within their sovereign borders. As asset-based FDI is increasingly redistributed across OECD countries, and relationship-based foreign involvement (FDI, FPI and, more frequently, international contracting) is redistributed across emerging markets, IPAs need to reassess the validity of their policy instruments. IPAs also need to re-evaluate the analytical basis of their policy research. The significant variables that determine vigorous FDI, and other investment activity, are increasingly less economic, and more social capital in their properties. This calls for greater attention to the correlation between quantitative and qualitative, as well as economic and non-economic variables. The increasingly blurred line between foreign portfolio investment and FDI activity has received relatively little attention, to date. There would be merit in examining this important nexus in greater detail, to better understand the interplay between the two, and the role that capital and equity markets can play in FDI promotion and support. In this context, the role of private equity investors also merits attention, to identify ways in which this important source of investment can be encouraged and its benefits maximised. The increasing role played by international SMEs in FDI activity, both as indigenous participants linked into the ‘integrated global factory’, and as foreign investors in their own right, merits closer attention and research. While much of the attention towards FDI activity had traditionally focused on large MNEs, the activities and needs of SMEs are far less well understood and would be a policy-pertinent object of empirical study. Also useful would a study to examine institutions and instruments that might be introduced to better harness remittances for investment in productive assets. 48
Taking the above research needs into account, the specific research areas of merit -- geared towards greater facilitation and attraction of FDI activity -- can be broadly seen as follows: � Investment strategies of group-based global production networks. � Models of collective competition in group-based global production networks. � Firm positioning and resource management in FDI networks. � Policy modelling of FDI networks. � Strategic and operational governance of global value chains. � Impact of third countries on inward and outward FDI to/from host/source countries. � Services offshoring and outsourcing. � FDI-trade spatial linkages. � Firm-country-sector competitiveness relations. � Global production network dynamics and productivity, and FDI flows. 49
