Foreign direct investments (II). A world scale analysis on the 1990 – 2015 year interval

      Аннотация: Our ever surviving obsession running our undertaking from its start – i.e. previously to the basic study, published in 2019 and 2020 – like a ‘red thread’ is that one single scientific truth about foreign direct investments (FDI) vis-?-vis plenty of theories, models and empirical studies in which these – actually, what is here called international directly invested capital – are seen so differently acting in different countries and regions of the world. So, first, this must be about the whole world at once. Then, it simply must be about a number of countries/ entities for which all capital entries (FDI) equal all capital issues (directly investments abroad/DIA) and so the FDI stock balances of these countries make the null sum. Then, our previous and basic paper was for a comprehensive picture drawn about our world through the amounts of directly invested capital flows in work between nations. We found the uneven capitals distribution throughout the world – i.e. obvious and the most obvious at the first sight --, accompanied by a curious trend of FDI and opposite DIA equalizing on each world country.
