“…Gulbis (2017) looked at the efficiency of the Latvian Special Economic Zone (SEZ) as a tool for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). When policy planners think about Foreign Direct Investment, they hope to accelerate economic development by attracting much-needed foreign capital for the development of new technologies (Salkovska et al, 2019) and increasing employment and the competitiveness of the local economy (Braslina et al, 2020). However, it is not that simple.…”

The aim of this paper is to determine and evaluate the effect of FDI stock on the Gross Domestic Product per capita and on labor productivity per person, which would give an understanding of the causality of investment in the development of the country. Although foreign investment plays a positive role in the development of several countries, promoting competition, development of employment, and acquiring new knowledge, experience, and technologies, in other countries FDI does not bring significant changes. Summarizing the literature, the authors conclude that there are no unambiguous econometric results on the causal relationship between FDI and economic development in developing, developed, or transition economies, so the authors' research will provide additional insight into the interaction of transition economies with FDI. Within the framework of the conducted research, an adapted Granger causality testing methodology is applied, to find out whether there exists and in which direction a causal relationship can be observed between the income level of Latvian residents, labor productivity, and foreign direct investment. The results of the analysis, which are based on a special VAR compilation mechanism and a modified Wald test, show that foreign investment in Latvia has no causal relationship either with the level of welfare or with labor productivity. The authors conclude that in Latvia there is a correlation between the attraction of foreign investment to the service sectors and the lack of transfer of national knowledge, which is reflected in the lack of a causal relationship between FDI and the level of national income. The authors conclude that in order to improve the welfare level of Latvian residents, the able-bodied population should improve their productivity, aside from attracting additional foreign investment.

The aim of this work was to study the behavior, productivity and conditions of second lactation Bos taurus during the period of adaptation to new keeping and milking conditions. Thirty-four cows of the local black-and-white breed of the second lactation (24-47 days after calving) were transferred from a brick barn for 100 heads with tie-stall keeping in a newly low cost housing facility for 400 heads with free-stall keeping. Milking equipment also changed: before the changing conditions of keeping, cows were milked in the milk duct at UDM-100, and after changing the conditions in the milking parlor at Carousel, 32 cows were milked at the same time. We divided the first 30 days in the new conditions of keeping and milking into VI periods. The duration of the main behavioral reactions: lying down, drinking, and eating food in the first days after changing the conditions of keeping and milking decreased significantly -by 181; 13 and 89 min, respectively. Behavioral responses at the end of the adaptation period (30 days) was lower than on the last day before changing housing and milking conditions. During the first 5 days after the change of housing and milking conditions, the average productivity of cows decreased by 1.39 kg (or 6.01%), content of milk fat, protein and lactose by 0.03; 0.02 and 0.04%, respectively compared to the last day before the transfer of animals. As for the fat content, the level of the indicator of the last day before the cows transfer was reached in the IV period; protein and lactose in the ІІІ period (11-15 days).

Work-based learning takes place in education of competitive employees with required professional qualifications, skills, competence in Latvia. Researchers in many countries in different parts of the globe in their academic research are investigating factors influencing work-based learning. In successful work-based learning all involved stakeholders are important and influential: vocational education institution and its teaching staff and management of this vocation education institution, company where students spend part of their education and skills development process. There are several important aspects recognised as very significant and valuable for consideration in involvement of students in work-based learning analysed in scientific research and reflected in respective scientific internationally peerreviewed publications as well as taken into account in creation of legislative frame for work-based learning and practical implementation of work-based learning with optimal solutions in many countries on the globe and also in the Republic of Latvia. The aim of the research is to analyse aspects of student involvement in work-based learning process. Research methods applied: analysis of scientific peer-reviewed publications, analysis of statistical data related to analysis of tendency of number of vocational education establishments with trend analysis and case studies on work-based learning. Results indicate that there are many requirements for companies to involve students in workbased learning.
