“…(7)- (9) More precisely, Specification 1 in Table 3 indicates that FDI inflows have positive and significant effects on economic growth at the 1% level. The results suggest that a 1% increase in foreign direct investment raises the economic growth for the global panel by around 0.44%, which is consistent with the results achieved by Anwar and Nguyen (2010). Economic growth is also affected negatively and significantly by CO2 emissions as a 1% increase in CO2 emissions decreases the economic growth by around 0.30%.…”

“…Ang, 2008;Sharma, 2010;and Omri (2013). Similarly, Anwar and Nguyen (2010), Anwar and Sun (2011), among others, include FDI in the production function to examine the impact of this variable on economic growth. They find that FDI stimulates economic growth.…”

“…Eq. (8) postulates that the FDI flows can be influenced by economic growth, environmental degradation, and capital stock, financial development level (FD) as measured by the ratio of total credit of the private sector to GDP, and the real effective exchange rate (RER) (e.g., Anwar and Nguyen, 2010;Anwar and Sun, 2011;Lee, 2013;and Omri, 2013). With respect to Eq.…”

“…Most of the past studies are concerned with the questions of whether a higher level of FDI inflows leads to higher additional economic growth and likewise whether higher economic growth sends positive signals to attract further FDI (e.g., Ekanayake and Vogel, 2003;Hermes and Lensink, 2003;Nguyen and Nguyen, 2007;Tsang and Yip, 2007;Batten and Vo, 2009;Anwar and Nguyen, 2010). Their findings often fall into one of the following categories: i) a causal relationship from FDI to GDP; ii) a causal relationship from GDP to FDI; iii) a feedback relationship between FDI and GDP; and iv) no causal relationship between FDI and GDP (neutrality).…”

Causal interactions between CO2 emissions, FDI, and economic growth: Evidence from dynamic simultaneous-equation models

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this article, we investigate the causality links between CO2 emissions, foreign direct investment, and economic growth using dynamic simultaneous-equation panel data models for a global panel of 54 countries over the period 1990-2011. We also implement these empirical models for 3 regional sub-panels: Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East, North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa. Our results provide evidence of bidirectional causality between FDI inflows and economic growth for all the panels and between FDI and CO2 for all the panels, except Europe and North Asia. They also indicate the existence of unidirectional causality running from CO2 emissions to economic growth, with the exception of the Middle East, North Africa, and sub-Sahara panel, for which bidirectional causality between these variables cannot be rejected. These empirical insights are of particular interest to policymakers as they help build sound economic policies to sustain economic development.

“…FDI can act as a mechanism to accumulate physical capital and transfer human capital to the receiving country, which can increase economic growth rate. Technology transfer increases the efficiency of production factors and this in turn reduces the technological gap between national and international enterprises (Anwar and Nguyen, 2010). FDI is an important source of development financing, particularly for developing and less developed economies, as it contributes to productivity gains by bringing in new investment, better technology, and management expertise and by opening up export markets (Sahoo et al, 2014).…”

This study explores the determinants of foreign direct investment based on panel data analysis. It addresses the relationship of the performance logistics and the shipping connectivity and the foreign direct investment (FDI). This study attempted to fill this gap by estimating the impact of these factors on the FDI, based on World Development Indicators database of 39 developing maritime nations over the period [2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015][2016]. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between countries' foreign direct investment and their logistics performance, and their shipping connectivity. The study has the originality to introduce tow logistics variables (logistics performance and maritime connectivity) in addition to controlling variables (exchange rate, and gross of domestic product). Empirical results suggest that the shipping connectivity, as well as the logistics performance, could be determinants of foreign direct investment. Concerning control variables result is in line with some study, the coefficient of GDP per capita is positive and significant, while the ORE has a significant negative coefficient.

Determinants of FDI in France: Role of transport infrastructure, education, financial development and energy consumption

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article explores the effect of education and transportation infrastructure on foreign direct investment for the French economy over the period of 1965–2017. Economic growth, financial development and electricity consumption are also considered as additional determinants of foreign direct investment. In so doing, the SOR unit root test is applied in order to examine unit root properties of variables in the presence of sharp and smooth structural breaks in the series. To examine the presence of cointegration between the variables, the bootstrapping ARDL cointegration test is applied. The empirical results show the presence of cointegration between the variables. Education and transportation add to foreign direct investment. Financial development declines foreign direct investment. The relationship between electricity consumption (economic growth) and foreign direct investment is bidirectional. The nonlinear relationship between education (transportation infrastructure) and foreign direct investment is U‐shaped.
