Book excerpt: This paper examines the major determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Nigeria, analyzing the annual data over the period 1970-2008, using the ordinary least squares and error correction techniques. The regression results indicate that openness of the economy to trade (OP), privatization (PR), the level of infrastructural development (FR), and exchange rate depreciation (EXC) have significant positive effect on FDI inflows into Nigeria. In addition, the results reveal that the host country's market size (GDP) has a significant negative effect on FDI, while inflation (IF) has an insignificant (but positive) influence on FDI inflows. Thus, the paper recommends the following: Firstly, government should employ policies to further open up the economy in a manner that the economy will be able to attract more FDI. Secondly, government should increase its investment in the development of the nation's infrastructure (power supply, roads, telecommunication, etc.) in order to reduce the cost of doing business thereby wooing more FDI. Thirdly, government should encourage production activity via production incentives and/or subsidies in order to increase the economy's GDP. Fourthly, the economy should be ready to accommodate further depreciation of the domestic currency (Naira) so as to encourage the inflows of FDI in the form of merger and/or acquisition. Furthermore, privatization should be done in a manner that is transparent, and all necessary and relevant information regarding the process should be made available to both existing and prospective investors. In addition, there is a need for an efficient and effective judicial system and crime fighting mechanism so as to assure foreign investors the safety of their investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study empirically identified the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflow to Nigeria. Secondary sources were used to source annual time series data on FDI inflow into Nigeria, Degree of trade openness, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Interest rate, Exchange rate of the naira against the US Dollar (N/$),over the period, 1970-2011. These variables were analyzed using Ordinary least Square (OLS), Unit Root test, Co-integration and Error Correction Mechanism (ECM). It was found that there is a significant relationship between FDI and GDP, exchange rate and degree of openness but no significant relationship between FDI and interest rate in Nigeria. The study recommends among others, that Government should continuously formulate and implement policies that would increase productive base, embark on moderate devaluation of the national currency to attract more FDI inflow into Nigeria and encourage liberalization with some policy caution.

This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria has the potential to become Sub-Saharan Africa s largest economy because of its rich human and natural resources but in spite of this, Nigeria is considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world. About 70% of the population live below the poverty line and with an investment rate of barely 10% of GDP, Nigeria is below the minimum investment rate of about 30% of GDP required to reduce poverty. Foreign Direct Investment can provide the capital needed to bridge the savings gap, required to propel economic growth and development. This is an historical and empirical assessement of the story so far and the best ways Nigeria can position effectively to make the most of available capital, generate and sustain global interest in the non-oil sector.

Book excerpt: This work investigated the impact of foreign direct investment on some selected macro-economic variables such as real GDP, gross fixed capital formation and unemployment rate. The determinants of foreign direct investment were also investigated. Using error correction model and Granger causality test, one arrived at a parsimonious result which revealed that foreign direct investment though impacts positively and significantly on the gross fixed capital formation, has not made any positive and significant impact on the growth of GDP and reduction of unemployment. The results of the Investigation of the determinants of foreign direct investment inflow to Nigeria show that causality runs from government policy, fiscal incentives, availability of natural resources and trade openness to FDI without feed back effect. The error correction model reveals that past foreign investment flows could significantly stimulate current investment inflows while inadequate natural resources reduce the inflow of FDI. Fiscal incentives, favourable government policy, exchange rate and infrastructural development are found to be a positive and significant function of FDI in Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of detailed case studies of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China, India, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico and Sub-Saharan Africa, providing a critical review of the determinants and impact of FDI on growth and development, employment, technology transfer and trade. The expert contributors examine a range of controversial issues including the contribution of the relatively large volume of FDI in China to its growth, whether India should fully liberalise its FDI regime and the impact of Mexico's membership of NAFTA on the volume of FDI it has attracted. Malaysia's economic policies, which appear to have attracted relatively large volumes of FDI but failed to generate the hoped for transmission of technology and skills are also questioned, along with the role of corruption in limiting the contribution of FDI to achieving social goals in Sub-Saharan Africa. The impressive record of the Irish Republic in attracting and harnessing FDI to development objectives is examined closely and provides a detailed analysis of policies likely to promote efficient utilisation of FDI.

Cointegration techniques reveal that the major determinants of FDI are market size, real exchange rate and political factor thereby validating theoretical expectations. Furthermore, simulations using impulse response and variance decomposition analysis suggest that uncontrolled trade liberalization must be avoided.

This book was released on 2018-06-06 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, , language: English, abstract: The controversy surrounding the impact of FDI and non-oil exports on economic growth and the dynamic interactions of these economic variables in Nigeria motivated this study. Empirical studies have found divergent views on the effect of FDI and non-oil exports on economic growth in the country. However, in achieving the objectives of this study, the author employed the dynamic OLS and VARS modeling to analyze the relationship between FDI, non-oil exports and economic growth in Nigeria during the period of 1980 to 2016. In testing for the time series properties, the evidence from estimated economic models suggests that all the variables examined are stationary at first difference I(Is) using the Augmented Dickey- Fuller (ADF) and Phillips-Perron. Also, Johansen Co integration test reveals that the variables are co integrated which confirms the existence of long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The study reveals that the impact of FDI on the economic growth was significant and as a unit increase in FDI impacted positively by 64% on the productive capacity of goods and services in Nigeria during the period. Meanwhile, reverse is the case for non-oil exports. In addition, the interactions among FDI, nonoil exports and economic growth appear very weak and do not follow a predictable pattern in Nigeria: that foreign direct investment should lead to improvement in non-oil exports and eventually expand the frontier of economic growth. This suggests that there are some structural rigidities in the economy that are preventing the impact of non-oil exports from being fully felt by the economy, particularly through economic growth channel. This further reinforces the presence of some institutional factors that create inherent problems in the economy that could frustrate any valid and sincere investment policies formulated by the government. Therefore, the study recommends that the policy makers need to create friendly economic policies and business environment that will boost further attraction of FDI into all sectors of the economy and the economy must be diversified as well towards non-oil sector in order to ensure maximum contributions from this sector to economic growth of Nigeria in the nearest future.

Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, , course: Public Administration, language: English, abstract: The study examined foreign direct investment (FDI): a panacea to national economic development. The objectives set for the study are; to determine the causes of the Nigerian economic downturn, to ascertain the effects of foreign direct investment, to suggest measures that would be taken to accelerate the economic development of Nigeria. Primary and secondary data were used; the population of the study was 1200 from which the sample sizes of 400 were determined using Taro Yamani’s formula. The research instruments used were questionnaire and oral interview. The reliability of the research instruments was tested using Pearson Product moment correlation coefficient; the result gave a reliability index of 0.98 indicating a high degree of consistency. Chi-square and ANOVA approach were the statistical tools used. The findings from the study reveals that, decline in oil prices and revenue, increase government expenditure and decline in market indices are the challenges posed by economic downturn in Nigeria; consumption-based economy, poor savings, high credit culture and huge financial outflow are the causes of the economic crises in Nigeria; reduction in direct foreign investment and overseas development assistance are the effects of economic crisis to Nigeria and finally, diversification of the economy, robust regulatory policies and professional supervision to aid foreign direct investment in Nigeria. Based on the findings, the researcher made the following recommendation: Nigeria should adopt tough policy measures as effective strategies towards a comprehensive strengthening of the economy, government should ensure that policy recommendations are implemented in order to reposition the Nigerian economy against the impact of future economic downturn, government should create enabling environment to attract foreign investors in order to boost economic activities in the country. Finally, government needs to sincerely focus on developing/strengthening the economy and provide alternative sources of revenue on a sustained basis.
