China has become an increasingly important hosting economy for FDI and this trend is expected to continue with the country&rsquo;s entry to the World Trade organization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>In this paper, we will review the current literature related to FDI, and use secondary data to employ regression to estimate the trend line of FDI in China. This is followed by factor analysis to examine the variables and factors influencing the FDI in China. We will then perform clustering analysis to look at the regional distribution of FDI in China and finally draw conclusions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span></span></span><strong></strong></span></p>

This three-country empirical study examined the attitudes of business students in China, Denmark, and the US to determine if they shared similar beliefs with regard to the perceived consequences of the use of codes of ethics. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) as well the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to determine that there were significant differences in the attitudes of the three groups. The findings provide useful information about three culturally distant nations and should prove especially useful to those concerned with finding ways to address the important issue of ethics in business.

This paper examines the economic impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on international trade among the three member countries Canada, Mexico and the United States, in the past ten years. Through regression techniques, estimated volume and the predicted trend for exports among the countries are compared with the actual observations. The empirical results indicate that NAFTA did achieve the desired goal of increasing trade among their member countries. The actual trade volume is greater than what the estimated trade volume would have been without NAFTA. Although all the member countries have seen their exports increased, the volumes vary among the three, with Mexico being the largest beneficiary.
