(2021) Kampouri, Anna-Kanelia; Καμπούρη, Άννα-Κανέλια; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of International European Economic Studies; Milliou, Chrysovalantou; Chatzipanagiotou, Panagiotis
Foreign aid is a great topic of discussion between developed and developing world the last 50 years. This thesis is separated in two main parts. The first one concerns the theory of foreign aid, the effects and motives of the donors, while the second part analyzes the case of Africa. It is worth noting that while Africa has received huge amounts of foreign aid still remains in a very low level of livelihood. The impressive characteristic is that countries, which receive the aid, tend to be rich in natural resources, however those countries are underdeveloped and live in poverty with corrupted health and education systems. However, it seems to be an economic growth in the very last years in some countries such as Ethiopia.
Anti-dumping practices: a safety valve or trade impediment?
(2018) Angeli, Kyriaki; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of International and European Economic Studies; Milliou, Chrysovalantou; Tsakloglou, Panagiotis; Chatzipanagiotou, Panagiotis
The present study aims to analyze the phenomenon of dumping. More specifically, it is presented information concerning trade across the world as well as how this is formed by dumping and trade barriers. The methodology is based on the collection of data collected them from scientific books, articles as well as from official websites.In order to be fully understood, there is an introduction which explains what dumping is, starting from a historical review and mentioning the objectives and the types of it. Moreover, observing the diagram of dumping it becomes obvious the profitability of it.The next chapter focuses on anti dumping actions as a reaction to dumping, citing some historical data as well as their effects worldwide. In 1948, it was important to establish a trade agreement intending to reduce tariffs highlighting the pros and cons of it, mentioning also the impact of trade liberalization. In addition to this, there is both an extended analysis of anti-dumping regulations under WTO and under EU. Finally, it is extremely important to consider a case study concerning a product and specifically solar panels. Solar panels are one of the most important instances of dumping cases while lots of enterprises are interested in importing and exporting this kind of product abroad increasing their revenues. In this analysis, there is a particular emphasis on financial relations between China and European Union.

Doha Development Rounds: the European Union’s agricultural policy in relation to people’s Republic of China
Aronis, Georgios; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of International and European Economic Studies; Chatzipanagiotou, Panagiotis
The Doha Development Round was the latest round of trade negotiations among the World Trade Organization members which led to the Bali Package Agreement. Its aim was to manage to reform the international trading system in a wide range of areas including the essential area of agriculture.We presented and analyzed Doha’s objectives in agriculture and examined the negotiations during the Ministerial conferences of Doha, Cancun, Hong Kong, Geneva, Geneva and finally the trade agreement of the ninth Ministerial conference in Bali.Within the specific negotiating framework of the World Trade Organization, we examined, analyzed and presented European Union’s policy regarding its trade relation to China during the Doha Development Round, and EUs’ CAP reforms in order to indicate any possible links between EU’s internal agricultural policies with its trade policy with China.We finally reached to the conclusion that EU’s internal protectionism, as expressed with CAP’s priorities, was linked with trade distorting policies in relation to China. In fact, the internal political turn of CAP to the new field of rural development, which was the start for the reduction of protectionism, was linked with the establishment of Generalized Scheme of Preferences and EU’s intention to reach to an agreement in Bali Ministerial conference.

Η πανδημία της νόσου COVID-19 είναι μία κατάστροφή που κανένας δε θα μπορούσε να φανταστεί ότι μπορούσε να συμβεί στον 21ο αιώνα, που είχε ως αποτέλεσμα τη δραματική μείωση στις εμπορικές ροές του πλείστου των αγαθών παγκοσμίως, καθώς και τη μείωση της ανθρώπινης κινητικότητας. Τα μέτρα που εξέλαβαν οι κυβερνήσεις σε όλο τον πλανήτη, είχαν ως αποτέλεσμα την εκτροπή των συνηθειών της μεγαλύτερης μερίδας των ανθρώπων , για να μειωθει η μετάδοση του ιού. Τα παραπάνω ήταν ένα σοβαρότατο πλήγμα στη ναυτιλιακή βιομηχανία, το θεμέλιο λίθο του παγκόσμιου εμπορίου. Η παρούσα εργασία έχει σκοπό να συλλέξει και να εππεξεργαστεί αποτελέσματα από άλλες μελέτες, που έχουν γίνει σε συγκεκριμένα πεδία του θέματος για να γίνει κατανοητότερη η πλήρης εικόνα της κατάστασης καθώς και να μπορέσει να εξαχθεί μια εικόνα για την εποχή μετά την πανδημία στο παγκόσμιο εμπόριο και τη ναυτιλια.
Firms and international trade: Optimal mode of entering foreign markets
(20-01-2016) Orfanakou, Polytimi; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of International and European Economic Studies; Chatzipanagiotou, Panagiotis
Multinational companies get involved with global market and expand their territories by choosing the entry mode to get into a foreign market which mayprovide its products and services leading to development of the firm. The types of entry modes are divided between full control modes where companies arecontrolled exclusively by them and shared control modes which are based on collaboration. The final option of the entry mode has a number of implications onbusiness strategy of the firm itself, its competitors and the market it enters in general. All these implications are about to be presented in this thesis.Furthermore, international strategy is associated with the entry mode decision to a foreign market. The effects of the entry mode on firm’s strategy originate in a framework of variables which are analyzed below as they affect not only every decision of the firm on expanding in a certain market but also the type of entry of the firm. On this assignment most of the variables that compose a business research area of a firm are mentioned in order to extend to a foreign market. On theother hand, the market itself is characterized from certain implications that affect the entry mode decision directly. As a matter of fact, this research is not clearly resource-based but its purpose is to present the need to achieve the combination between the ideal markets for each business separately with the most successfulmodel, always matched with the choice of its favor strategy.
Forms of entry in foreign markets

The globalization of economic relations through increased trade and the mobility of capital flows has given further weight to the importance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), which has led to studies being carried out by many researchers over the years, and the governments of many countries (Alfaro et al,2004). The fact that these countries have become particularly competitive, but also the prevalence of a globalized economy has contributed to the targeted study of the theoretical framework of FDI and the determinants that lead to attracting more investment to one country. The ultimate aim, of course, of both countries and of enterprises aimed at either inflow or outflow of capital through this form is to gain a larger share of the world market and maximize their profits. According to Porter, an economy cannot be competitive if it is not the competitors operating in it, without taking into account whether they are domestic or foreign (Porter, 1990).However, it has been observed that some industries flourish more from globalization in comparison to others that do not have the same acceptance when expanding abroad and some countries have a comparative advantage over other countries in certain industrial sectors. So, globalization can have either positive or negative consequences depending on which angle you look from. According to Rugman and Verbeke (2000) only a relatively small set of multinational enterprises accounts for most of the world’s trade and investment. Indeed, the largest 500 MNEs account for over 90% of the world’s stock of foreign direct investment (FDI) and they, themselves, conduct about half the world’s trade. An organization has a range of different entry strategies to select when it internationalizes its operations. However, the process of decision making for the optimum entry mode is a complex issue, since there are many factors that a firm needs to take into account, when investigating the optimal strategy to penetrate into international markets. So, when a firm probes the appropriate strategy to enter or expand into a foreign market, it has to be very cautious considering all the factors involved and come to a pivotal strategic decision, since the chosen strategy can affect its international performance for a long time. Modes of entry into international markets are the third most researched field in international management (Werner, 2002).

Συγκεκριμένα, παρουσιάζονται οι τρείς βασικές παγκόσμιες προσπάθειες που έγιναν τα τελευταία έτη για την αντιμετώπιση της κλιματικής αλλαγής και ο οικονομικός αντίκτυπος που προέκυψε από αυτές. Στη συνέχεια αναλύεται πως οι Άμεσες Ξένες Επενδύσεις έχουν επηρεαστεί τόσο από τις περιβαλλοντικές αλλαγές όσο και από τις πολιτικές αποφάσεις για την αντιμετώπιση της κλιματικής κρίσης. Ενώ εξετάζεται πως οι Άμεσες Ξένες Επενδύσεις επηρεάζουν το περιβάλλον και συμβάλλουν στην αντιμετώπιση της περιβαλλοντικής αλλαγής. Τέλος, παρουσιάζονται οι επιπτώσεις στις ευρωπαϊκές Άμεσες Ξένες Επενδύσεις που προέκυψαν λόγω των αποφάσεων της ατζέντας «Ευρώπη 2050».
Preferential trade agreements: The EU and developing countries
(09-07-2018) Kola, Theodora; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of International European Economic Studies; Chatzipanagiotou, Panagiotis
“The principal object of negotiations of Preferential Trade Agreements (PTA) of the European Union with the developing countries has traditionally been securing trade relations, which often translated into tariff measures. Nowadays, the trade landscape has significantly changed. The provisions negotiated under these agreements are being more and more complex broadening the scope of action. Depending on the level of integration, the European Union’s trade agreements are classified into several layers from Preferential Trade Agreements to Economic and Monetary/Political Union. The proliferation of the PTAs in the international fora has arisen questions about the incentives and impacts of these agreements on the developing countries. Are their main objectives achieve and what do the economic indicators reveal; Under the Cotonou Partnership Agreements, a PTA of the European Union with the African, Caribbean and Pacific Countries (ACP) that expires in 2020, the trade and economic performance of the ACP group is examined. Key findings suggest that amendments have been made towards the trade performance of the ACP group, with the total trade flows among ACP and EU having almost doubled from the signing of the CPA in 2000 till today, 2018. The EU is the main trading partner of the ACP block, with the trade flows concentrated into restricted countries merely being consisted of African ones. Trade diversification has not significantly changed, exports of the ACP countries are still dependent on the primary sector. Real GDP growth has been consistently positive under the Cotonou era, even during the global financial crisis. While there have been progressions in several parameter connected with attracting investment, the overall business climate still scores highly in the rank of World Bank Doing Business Index. In order to foster the ACP integration into the world economy and overcome the asymmetries the ACP countries, the CPA included provision of “tailor-made” economic partnership agreements (EPA), the impact of which is awaited to show in the future.”
Theory and applications of the preferential trading agreements
(22-06-2016) Timotheatou, Panagiota; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of International and European Economic Studies; Chatzipanagiotou, Panagiotis
A preferential trading agreement (PTA) is actually a trade pact between countries that reduses tariffs for certain products to the countries who sign agreement. While the tariffs are not necessarily eliminated, they are lower than countries not party to the agreement. It is a form of economic integration. The trade agreements actually want to promote free trade. These trade rounds last many years, during wich countries negotiate trade barrier reductions.(Trade restrictions and trade policy). Negotiating these and other trade-related issues is actually difficult and the trade rounds can actually be very long.
Trade imbalances and competitiveness: a comparative analysis of the southern European countries. The case of Greece, Portugal and Spain
(06/24/2019) Tourlaki, Iliana; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of International and European Economic Studies; Katsimi, Margarita; Chatzipanagiotou, Panagiotis
This dissertation attempts to make a comparison of three Southern European countries, i.e. Greece, Portugal and Spain taking into consideration certain aspects of the economy of the comparator countries, such as trade imbalances within the Eurozone, the concept of competitiveness, the interrelation between trade imbalances and economic Growth and thus the key factors that influence a country’s trade performance and compose to a great extent the notion of competitiveness. Thus, competitiveness is associated to economic Growth i.e. the productivity of an economy, which enhances the attraction of Foreign Direct Investments too. Hence, the comparative analysis of the countries named above focuses on the presentation of indicators related to external competitiveness, representative for a country’s trade performance, such as balance of trade, exports shares and unit labor costs, but also on overall competitiveness indicators i.e. structural indicators of the productive efficiency of a country, such as technological endowments, institutional environment, human and physical infrastructure and so on. Greece, Portugal and Spain are three Mediterranean countries, which have similarities, but also differ in terms of population, production possibilities, economic structure and international trade in general. However, they were all hit by the economic crisis, registered large current account i.e. trade deficits, which led to the decline of their competitiveness over the past few years. Finally, recovery came sooner for Portugal and Spain, but for Greece not.
