Gottschalk, Ricardo (2005) Can it be both economically and morally rewarding to invest in developing countries? Global Economy Journal, 5 (2) . ISSN 1553-5304 [Article] (doi:10.2202/1524-5861.1039)

Abstract

This paper argues that investing in developing countries can be both economically and morally very rewarding. It firstly shows that historically capital invested in developing countries has obtained higher returns than invested in developed countries. It secondly argues that there is also a moral case for investing in developing countries. It would accelerate economic development in the poorer areas of the world, thereby promoting global development. It finally suggests that the socially responsible investment (SRI)initiative could be broadened to incorporate development objectives more explicitly, thereby serving as a conduit to more investment to the developing world.
