Griffith Asia Institute Research Seminar: What is a 'foreign' firm, and does it matter?

How should we define a firm as 'foreign' and/or 'domestic' in our complex globalising world? Large MNEs increasingly utilize detailed and complicated ownership structures that, in part, seek to hide direct ownership patterns for tax and financial reasons. So, how prevalent are 'foreign' firms in local economies? Is there a better way to categorise foreign and domestic firms, and how does this aï¬ect existing understandings (good and bad) of MNE activity?

Griffith Asia Institute Research Seminar: Decentralisation, clientelism and social assistance programs: A study of India's MGNREGA

Does decentralisation promote clientelism? If yes, through which mechanisms? We answer these questions through an analysis of India's (and the world's) largest workfare programme, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), in two Indian states: Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh. Dr Diego Maiorano is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Nottingham in the UK.
