| Title | The role of foreign direct investment in small open ecnonomies: comparison of Hungary and Croatia |
| Summary | This thesis aims to abstract the most important elements for creating an FDI-conducive environment in a post-transition economy. I am using an in-depth comparative case study of Hungary and Croatia, in order to deduce FDI-conducive policy recommendations for Croatia. The thesis finds the following elements are necessary and/or need to be reformed: regulated judiciary and effective bureaucracy, flexible labour code, effective local and regional self-administration, investment stimulation and predictable economic policies with an emphasis on taxation policies. The thesis analyzes the aforementioned issues and illustrates areas in which Hungary stands significantly better than Croatia. Furthermore, based on the analysis, the thesis derives congruent policy recommendations for Croatia. |
