Inward Fdi In Singapore And Its Policy Context, Locknie Hsu
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Inward foreign direct investment (IFDI) has long been an important feature of the Singapore economy, and Singapore remains an attractive host to FDI. Apart from a brief decline in 2002, FDI inflows have generally been strong in the decade 2000-2010. They reached a peak in 2007 at US$ 37 billion, just before the global financial and economic crisis of 2008-2009. In 2008, inflows declined sharply to US$ 8.6 billion, before rapidly rebounding to reach US$ 38 billion in 2010.

Optimal International Agreement And Treatment Of Domestic Subsidy, Gea M. Lee
Optimal International Agreement And Treatment Of Domestic Subsidy, Gea M. Lee
Research Collection School Of Economics
We investigate how a domestic subsidy is treated in an international agreement, when a government, having incentive to use its domestic subsidy as a means of import protection, can disguise its protective use of subsidy as a legitimate intervention with which to address a market imperfection. We show that any optimal agreement, as opposed to the conventional message of the targeting principle, restricts the home government’s freedom to select its domestic subsidy in order to increase the market-access level for foreign exporters. Our finding suggests that a proper restriction on domestic subsidy is somewhere between GATT and WTO rules.

In November 2001, China finally acceded to the World Trade Organization after a marathon accession negotiation that lasted 15 years. As China's accession coincided with the launch of the Doha Round, many commentators predicted that China's participation in the trade negotiations would have significant impacts on the Round. However, this has not proven to be the case. What have been the approaches taken by China in global trade negotiations? Why did China adopt these approaches? How did China's different negotiating approaches affect the dynamics of trade negotiations? These are the questions addressed in this article. The paper argues that China …

En novembre 2001, la Chine entrait finalement à l’Organisation mondiale du commerce après un marathon de 15 ans de négociations pour son accession. Comme son accession correspondait au lancement du cycle de Doha, de nombreux commentateurs ont estimé que la participation de la Chine aux négociations commerciales aurait un impact significatif sur le cycle. Cependant, cela ne s’est pas produit. Quelles ont été les approches adoptées par la Chine dans les négociations commerciales internationales ? Pourquoi la Chine a-t-elle adopté ces approches ? Comment ont-elles affecté la dynamique des négociations commerciales ? Voici les questions traitées dans cet article qui …

The Roadmap For A Prospective Us-Asean Fta: Legal And Geopolitical Considerations, Pasha L. Hsieh
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
This article examines the legal framework governing economic relations between the United States and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and outlines a roadmap for a US-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Notwithstanding ASEAN’s emerging centrality in Asian regionalism, America remains the only Pacific power that has not concluded any form of FTA with ASEAN.This article explains that limited progress in Washington’s efforts stemmed from the domestic politics of the US Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) approach and the Myanmar dilemma. It further analyses the challenges that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement negotiations have encountered and contends that the …
