AbstractThe positive influence of foreign direct investment (FDI) on host countries' economic growth has been widely debated. Given the mixed empirical evidence, scholars have sought to find the economic preconditions under which FDI spillovers are likely to occur and facilitate economic growth in the host countries. Those preconditions are not exogenously dictated but largely shaped by governments' policy preferences. Particularly in autocracies, an autocrat's policy preferences are the driving force that determines whether a host country is likely to be equipped with growth-friendly institutions and policies. We argue that such economic institutions and policies are dependent on the time horizons of autocrats in power. Our empirical analysis covering 64 autocratic countries from 1970 to 2005 supports our main argument that FDI has a positive effect on growth when autocratic time horizons are sufficiently long, and positive FDI spillovers mainly occur through the protection of property right institutions.

The objective of this study is to assess the roles of domestic direct investment, foreign direct investment and exports as catalysts of Malaysia's economic growth using cointegration and Granger causality test techniques. To address the dynamics in the growth relationships, the study also performs time-varying regression and variance decomposition analyses. It covers the quarterly sample period from 1991:Q1 to 2010:Q2. The econometric results suggest that all the three variables have a positive impact on economic growth and thus are catalytic to economic growth. However, the growth effect of domestic direct investment is more stable than that of the other two growth determinants. Contrary to earlier empirical studies, the variance decomposition analysis herein reveals that domestic direct investment is the most important determinant of growth in the long-run (L-R) compared to exports and foreign direct investment.

AbstractGlobal foreign direct investment flows in terms of greenfield and brownfield investments have increased during the recent three decades resulting from the accelerating globalization. The considerable increases in the flows of foreign direct investment have many eventualities for the national economies. This study investigates the mutual effects among greenfield and brownfield (mergers and acquisitions) investments and economic growth in Central and Eastern European Union countries during the 2003–2015 period employing panel data analysis. The findings revealed that both greenfield and brownfield investments had positive influence on the economic growth, but the influence of greenfield investments was found to be relatively higher. Furthermore, one-way causality was discovered from both greenfield and brownfield investments to the economic growth.

This study examined the effect of foreign direct investment on a developing economy. The study employed multiple regression models to estimate the relationship that exists between sectorial inflow of foreign direct investment and Nigeria economic growth. Augmented Dickey Fuller Test, Johansen Co-integration test, normalized co-integrating equations, parsimonious vector error correction model and pair-wise causality tests were used to conduct the investigations and analysis. The findings of the result reveal that foreign direct investment in the agricultural sector have positive but no significant effect, foreign direct investment in the manufacturing sector have positive and significant effect, foreign direct investment in the mining and querying sector have negative but no significant effect, foreign direct investment in the transport and communication sector have positive and  significant effect while  foreign direct investment in the oil and gas sector have positive and significant effect on Nigeria real gross domestic products. The study concludes that the oil and gas sector have the greatest impact on Nigeria economic growth followed by manufacturing, agricultural, transport and communication sectors while mining and quarrying reduces gross domestic product. Nigerian policy makers should design sectoral policy reforms with the intention of creating an enabling business environment, improve infrastructure, address issues of insecurity in the north and south that hinder foreign direct investment in mining and quarrying sectors. Furthermore, there is the need to strengthen policy cohesion with regards to foreign direct investments to ensure that mining and quarrying sectors perform as well as the oil and gas sector.

In Pakistan, water pollution is a cause of numerous health issue and water stress. The aim of writing this paper is to empirically investigate the impact of industrialization, foreign direct investment, and economic growth along with energy consumption on total suspended solids in the Indus River, which is used as a proxy for water pollution. The authors employed ARDL estimation to achieve the research objective. The findings revealed that in long-run economic growth, foreign direct investment inflows and industrialization have a positive influence on water pollution in the Indus River. Still, on the other hand, due to sustainable energy production, water pollution is falling in the Indus River. At the same time, in the short-run, economic growth causes reduction in total suspended solids, whereas industrialization is still a major cause of water pollution in the Indus River.

Today, foreign direct investment is very important for both developed and developing countries. It is seen as an opportunity to overcome the inadequacy of capital, especially in developing countries. It is expected that these investments will make a serious contribution in solving the problems related to the balance of payments, in the realization of the investments that will enable the growth of the economies, in increasing the employment. The study will examine the size, development and effects of foreign capital in Azerbaijan economy. Azerbaijan, which is also known as transition economies, has gone from the Soviet Union in 1991 to regulating its economic structure from the beginning. At this point, they have undertaken various reforms to improve their inadequate investment capabilities and to attract foreign direct investment into the country. In this respect, they tried to have a share of this great pasty shared by the developed countries in the world. In this study, firstly foreign direct investments and economic effects will be examined. Then, general information about Azerbaijani economy will be given and the dimensions and effects of foreign direct investments in Azerbaijan will be revealed. After the literature review on the subject has been made, the relationship between economic growth and foreign direct investment in Azerbaijan will be empirically analyzed. The figures for Azerbaijan during the period 1995-2015 were obtained from the World Bank.

Free Movement Of Capital

Economic growth, export and foreign direct investment have been an important research subject for many years. The argument about the role of export as one of the main deterministic factors of economic growth has its roots in classical trade theories. Furthermore, according to the neoclassical theory, long-term economic growth is the consequence of an increase in exogenous factors such as increased labor force or technological progress. The export-led growth strategy of a country aims to provide incentives for the export of goods through various economic policy measures. Its goal is to increase the production of goods and services that can compete in the global market, use advanced technology and provide foreign exchange revenue needed to import capital goods. The emergence of new theoretical models that emphasize the importance of endogenous factors for economic growth has enabled the inclusion of foreign direct investment into analysis as one of growth determinants. Free movement of capital in the past was recorded only in a few countries and several sectors, and usually the capital flows followed the trade flows. Today there is a noticeable global trend of proliferation of free movement of capital. What is more, foreign direct investments have gained importance as desirable source of capital, especially in developing countries among which a strong competition for attracting such investments has developed. Foreign direct investments represent a specific form of capital because they imply a long-term interest as well as a certain share of ownership that ensures voting rights and participation in the management of the company. There is a vast literature dealing with the effects of foreign direct investment on the recipient country. It is generally accepted that these effects positively contribute to economic growth and development due to the inflow of fresh capital and spillover effects that depend on the absorption capacity of the recipient country. In conclusion, it is to be expected that liberalization of international trade and export performance, as well as the liberalization of capital movements and the inflow of foreign direct investment have a positive impact on the economic growth of a country. The aim of this paper is to examine the correlation between export, foreign direct investments and economic growth on the example of the Republic of Croatia. The conclusions of the research are of use in adopting appropriate policies and strategies for the growth and development of small open economies such as the Republic of Croatia.
