Direktne investicije zapadnonjemačke privrede i zemlje u razvoju
Direct West German Investments and the Developing Countries

Summary/Abstract: International movement of capital is an essential lever for the mutual linking of national economies. On the example of direct West German investments the author has tried to indicate some new elements which, next to the classical ones, might be an attempt at a more modern view of the problem of the export of capital. Without pretending to cover all the reasons for the export of capital in contemporary circumstances the author analyses some among them: 1) lower costs of production, 2) expansion of the market, 3) more complete use or industrial capacity. 4) higher increase of production and traffic, 5) higher profit rates. While giving its due to the notion that the export of capital primarily depends on the conditions of the expanded reproduction and the acquisition of surplus value on that basis, the author has tried to indicate other factors too that today affect the export of capital; they have been primarily the result of structural changes in the world economy under the influence of the contemporary scientific and technological revolution.
