“…As mentioned earlier, most existing literature generally opine that FDI stock promotes GDP growth. On the other hand, however, a number of other studies indicate that rapid GDP growth rate is the most important determinants of the country's FDI inflows (Lv et al, 2010;Fung, 2004;and Berthelemy and Demurger, 2000). This implies the existence of a relationship between FDI inflows and GDP.…”

This paper tries to examine the interrelationship between FDI inflows and the economic growth for three African economies, namely, Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt during 1985-2011. Our analysis, which is based on a simultaneous equations model, reveals that in overall terms a mutually promoting two-way linkage between FDI and economic growth exists in these countries. Using the generalized method of moments (GMM), we find that the two-way linkage between FDI inflows and economic growth has been verified in all three economies , i.e., high level of foreign direct investment inflows had accelerated economic growth and high economic growth in these economies does send positive signals to prospective foreign investors.JEL classification: G20 ; H54 ; C36.

“…Studies at the industrial or sectoral level have been limited, especially the determinants of FDI in agricultural sector. Lv et al (2010) included agricultural market size, agricultural exports, agricultural imports, agricultural markets opening, and industrial policy as the main exogenous variables affecting agricultural FDI. While Abdul Rashid et al (2016) At the national investment level in Egypt, Bassiony (2017) examined some related agricultural variables such as agricultural market size, agricultural imports, agricultural exports, agricultural wages, agricultural savings, agricultural fiscal expenditure, agricultural lending and discount, and interest rate on agricultural lending and discount as the potential determinants of FDI in the agricultural sector.…”

“…Moreover, Mourao (2018) provided empirical evidence that population, forest area, exports diversification, and agriculture participation in GDP, inflation rates, real GDP per capita, government effectiveness, corruption perception, political stability, and regulatory quality were the economic factors that are determining the efficiency of Chinese's FDI in Africa. Lv et al (2010) found that the agricultural market size and agricultural imports were the most important factors in determining FDI inflows into china's agriculture. Abdul Rashid et al (2016) stated that GDP and poverty were the most important factors in determining FDI in agricultural sector in Malaysia, Oman and Brunei.…”

“…In the same vein, Doaa and Yahia (2014) claimed that higher saving rates and increased deposits encourage agricultural investment in Egypt. Lv et al (2010) and Mourao, (2018) provided empirical evidence that the larger the agricultural market size, the more FDI it will get and vice versa. From the prospective of international trade, increased exports in the host country indicate its high potentiality, where multinational enterprises have the capability to expand the markets of their products and services outside the host country's market frontiers to reach easily the home country and other countries (Lv et al, 2010;Bassiony, 2017).…”

This paper aims to explore the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the agricultural sector in Egypt on both the sectoral and national levels. The paper used quarterly series data from July 2008 to June 2018 for agricultural FDI in Egypt as dependent variable, and eleven macroeconomic and agricultural economics exogenous variables. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Weighted Least Squares (WLS) regression techniques were employed. The paper results revealed that the most important determinants of FDI in Egypt's agriculture were the exchange rate of US$, lending and discount given to economic sectors, and interest rate, in addition to the agricultural market size, main agricultural exports, and main agricultural imports. Data about water abundance, fiscal expenditure on agriculture and political stability index were not available to the authors at the time of the study in quarterly basis. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to consider them in further studies. The paper includes implications for attracting more FDI to the Egyptian agricultural sector via utilizing the positive impacts of the flotation of the Egyptian pound, the increased lending and discount given to the economic sectors and the current imports substitution policy on FDI in Egypt's agriculture. This paper contributes and fills the existence gab in the literature by providing empirical evidence on the determinants of agricultural FDI in Egypt.

“…Challenges of the micro-level analysis have led to the preference of the macro-level analysis of FDI. Among the studies that analysed the macro-determinants of FDI into China areBoermans et al (2009), Liu (2010),Kang & Wang (2011),Lv et al (2010) &Huang andWei (2010).…”

China is currently the major foreign direct investment (FDI) destination arising from her open door policies since 1978. FDI has become a large impetus to China’s economic growth. However, the geographical distribution of FDI in China is severely biased with 83% concentrated in the eastern region. This is a result of not only differences in locational advantages but also the result of the initiating policies and temporal differences of FDI inflows among the regions. This study aims to examine the determinants of FDI and examine empirically the possible coherent policies for the three regions of China (Eastern, Central and Western) using the spatial panel analysis for the data within the period of 1994 to 2008. The empirical results show that the determinants of FDI vary among the three regions, depending on the motives of the investor and the results of policy bias. The entrepreneurial nature of competition of FDI among the provinces revealed by the spatial FDI factor is a conclusion that cannot be ignored. A more coherent policy on FDI inflows into China is an urgent necessity, though the policies for each region must be, of necessity, different for each of the three regions.
