The timing of foreign direct investment under uncertainty: Evidence from the Spanish banking sector

This paper investigates the timing of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the banking sector. The importance of this issue would arise from the existence of differential benefits associated to be the first entrant in a foreign location. Nevertheless, when uncertainty is considered, the existence of some Ownership-Location-Internalization (OLI) advantages can make FDI less reversible and/or more delayable and therefore it may be optimal for the firm to delay the investment until the uncertainty is resolved. In this paper, the nature of OLI advantages in the banking sector has been examined in order to propose a prognostic model of the timing of foreign direct investment. The model is then tested for the Spanish case using duration analysis.

Genetic variability of a population of Aedes aegypti from Paraná, Brazil, using the mitochondrial ND4 gene

Genetic variability of a population of Aedes aegypti from Paraná, Brazil, using the mitochondrial ND4 gene. To analyze the genetic variability of populations of Aedes aegypti, 156 samples were collected from 10 municipalities in the state of Paraná, Brazil. A 311 base pairs (bp) region of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4) mitochondrial gene was examined. An analysis of this fragment identified eight distinct haplotypes. The mean genetic diversity was high (h = 0.702; p = 0.01556). AMOVA analysis indicated that most of the variation (67%) occurred within populations and the F ST value (0.32996) was highly significant. F ST values were significant in most comparisons among cities. The isolation by distance was not significant (r = -0.1216 and p = 0, 7550), indicating that genetic distance is not related to geographic distance. Neighbor-joining analysis showed two genetically distinct groups within Paraná. The DNA polymorphism and AMOVA data indicate a decreased gene flow in populations from Paraná, which can result in increased vectorial competence.

Variability of resting energy expenditure in healthy volunteers during fasting and continuous enteral feeding.

The magnitude of variability in resting energy expenditure (REE) during the day was assessed in nine healthy young subjects under two nutritional conditions: 1) mixed nutrient (53% carbohydrate, 30% fat, 17% protein) enteral feeding at an energy level corresponding to 1.44 REE; and 2) enteral fasting, with only water allowed. In each subject, six 30-min measurements of REE were performed using indirect calorimetry (hood system) at 90-min intervals from 9 AM to 5 PM. The mean REE and respiratory quotient were significantly (p less than .01) greater during feeding than during fasting (1.08 +/- 0.07 [SEM] vs. 1.00 +/- 0.06 kcal/min and 0.874 +/- 0.007 vs. 0.829 +/- 0.008 kcal/min, respectively). Mean postprandial thermogenesis was 4.9 +/- 0.4% of metabolizable energy administered. The intraindividual variability of REE throughout the day, expressed as the coefficient of variation, ranged from 0.7% to 2.0% in the fasting condition and from 1.2% to 4.1% in the feeding condition. There was no significant difference between the REE measured in the morning and that determined in the afternoon.
