“…The mixed result might stems from the problems of getting consistent alternatives for the qualitative phenomena, such as international business cycle movement and political instability. Badr and osama (2015) investigates the relationship between FDI and the economic growth in the North African countries, covering the period 1961-2012. Outcomes of the analysis recommend that FDI is clarified by some economic factors but has nonsignificant effect on GDP growth.…”

“…The components adding to the flexibility of capital and improvement have been, unquestionably, the reason behind low-income countries creating at a higher rate [39,40] while the multinational corporations render foreign direct investment by giving resources, for instance, mechanical aptitudes, pioneering capacities, and the panel experience which are suitably learned through different getting ready projects. The FDI incorporates economies at the hour of creation in the globalized world economy through various variables, for instance, development, capital, and permission to foreign business sectors and managerial abilities [41]. State-owned enterprises constitute a significant amount of outward foreign direct investment, whereas government plays an influential role in directing these investments [7,42].…”

This empirical study has examined the impact of Chinese investments, namely infrastructure, energy, services, other investment sectors, and trade openness on the economies of the 25 Asian and North African countries along with the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative for a period of 2007 to 2016 using the Johansen Fisher Panel Cointegration Test, Panel Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (PDOLS) model, and the Toda and Yamamoto technique for testing causality. The findings revealed cointegration among the variables and that the impact of Chinese investments on economic growth in the host countries is positive, but it has a weaker effect, to a certain extent, in all sectors of the host countries while trade openness positively impacts the countries. Furthermore, there is evidence of a unidirectional causality between some FDI (foreign direct investment) economies while the investment in services and other sectors does not cause economic growth in the host countries. Based on the results, the paper proposes that the host countries increase the FDI in the sector of infrastructure, energy, and technology to enhance their economies.

“…Based on the data from 1971 to 2012, Dreher et al conclude that the membership in international organizations is an essential and decisive factor of FDI liquidity and has a promoting effect on FDI mobility [10]. Badr and Ayed do a quantitative study of the relationship between FDI and economic development in South American countries, and they find that FDI can be determined by some economic factors, having no important effect on economic development [11]. Kathuria et al apply panel data to examining the effectiveness of public policy in attracting FDI [12].…”

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the important factors affecting China's economic development, the prediction of which is the basis of its development and decision-making. Based on elaborating the significant role in China's economic growth and the status quo of utilizing foreign investment over the period between 2000 and 2016, this chapter attempts to construct Gray-Markov model (GMM) and time series model (TSM) to forecast the trend of China's utilization of FDI and then compares the precision of two different prediction models to obtain a better one. Results indicate that although it is qualified, traditional Gray model needs to be optimized; GMM is built to help modify the result, improve Gray-related degrees, and narrow the gap with real value. Comparing the accuracy of GMM with that of TSM, we can conclude that the fitting effect of GMM is better. To increase the credibility of these results, this chapter is based on the data of Beijing and Chongqing from 1990 till 2016, also verifying that the fitting effect of GMM is superior to that of the TSM. Then, we can safely draw a conclusion that the prediction model of GMM is more credible, which has a certain referencing value for the utilization of FDI.
