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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries, Nigeria inclusive, face a shortage of investible funds and hence strive to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) because of its acknowledged potentials as a tool of economic development. This study investigated the empirical relationship between FDI and economic growth in Nigeria. Secondary data sourced mainly from CBN publications were used in the OLS and granger causality regression equations conducted for the period 1986 to 2010. Although FDI coefficient in the regression result showed that about 13% of variations in GDP are accounted for by a percent increase in FDI, their relationship is statistically insignificant. The regression result also showed that other variables in the model - gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), net exports (NXP), consumer price index (CPI), and exchange rate (EXR) - impacted on the GDP. The result of the granger causality test showed a bi-directional causality between FDI and GDP, that is, each granger cause the other. On the basis of these, it was recommended that more sectors of the economy be deregulated so as to encourage more investor participation in the productive sector of the economy.

This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 84 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. These vast natural resources qualify Nigeria to be a major recipient of foreign direct Investment. Foreign Direct Investment in turn is believed to be an engine of economic development in that it brings about the transfer of technology, managerial skills, international production, access to markets, etc. A number of studies have been conducted on the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth, with most of those studies focusing on cross-country studies. Yet, results about the relationship between foreign direct investment and economic growth come with varying outcomes. This Bachelor's thesis focused exclusively on Nigeria with a view to analysing the role foreign direct investment has played on economic growth in Nigeria since independence. This thesis concludes by making important recommendations that are particularly useful to investors who want to invest in Nigeria; academicians interested in studies of FDI-growth linkage; and to policymakers to adopt some measures to further strengthen and improve investment environment in Nigeria.

This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an attempt to ensure greater participation in the global economy, developing countries have increasingly liberalized, privatized and deregulated their economies since the mid-1980s. More welcoming policies to attract foreign capital inflows have been a prominent component of this trend. In this study, an attempt is made to analyze the impact of foreign direct investment and remittances inflow on economic growth of Nigeria in a quest to find a reasonable answer to the question of whether FDI and remittances inflows constitute vital sources of economic growth to Nigeria. The study employed the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) approach. It was established that foreign direct investment has a positive but non-significant impact on Nigeria's economic growth. However, it is evident from the outcome of the study that the remittances inflow has a negative though non-significant impact on Nigeria economic growth. The policy implication of this study is that government should build an investment-friendly environment free of insecurity and corruption, reduce the cost of doing business and put in place the mechanism to attract more capital inflows to boost domestic production. By doing this, Foreign investors will have confidence in Nigeria economy and commit more funds in form of Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeria which will enhance domestic production. Remittances inflow can then be channeled to consumption of these domestic goods and services rather than on imported goods. This will increase aggregate demand and ultimately affect output and growth in Nigeria.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research reports have shown that foreign direct investment impacts on the growth and economic development of especially the developing countries like Nigeria. But the discourse issue lies in the type of impact - negative or positive. In the bid to find the impacts of FDI on the nation's economic growth, researchers have reviewed many factors that influence FDI flow and therefore proffered solutions based on their findings. This research in literature review found that the relationship between exchange rate and FDI has been mostly ignored. And Nigeria being a developing economy in need of constant inflow of FDI is attracting little and having problem in retaining the ones attracted. Therefore the study investigates the impact of FDI on GDP, influence of exchange rate on FDI using a descriptive analysis of secondary data on exchange rate and FDI from the CBN Statistics data base. The findings of the study agrees with some other research report that Nigeria have so far attracted little of FDI and have lost much of the few it has attracted, yet there are good developmental resources to be desired which comes with FDI. The study also found a relationship between FDI, Exchange rate and Economic Growth in Nigeria and thus made recommendations for the domestic firms, government and other stakeholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aggregate flows of foreign direct investment (FDI) to Nigeria, as in economies of the world, fall into different classified sectors of the economy. Studies on FDI in economic literature have been directed at the macroeconomic effects of FDI on economic growth. As sound as the findings of such studies appear, the growth impacts that FDI flows create on each sector of the economy are, however, masked. Thus this paper, using time-series data for the period 1970-2003 and adopting the ordinary least square technique, investigated the impacts of FDI flows on the outputs of some selected sectors in the Nigerian economy. The parsimonious form of analysis of general-to specific was applied in the analysis of the model. The results shows that FDI flow was significant to sectoral growth of the mining and quarrying, and the transportation and communication sectors, but was not significant to the growth of the agriculture, forestry, and fishery sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the title suggests, this is an ambitious book. Broad in scope and rich in detail, it examines the rise and fall of Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) in nearly two dozen industries, from electronics and automobile manufacturing to real estate and construction services, in almost every region of the world over the past half century or more. The result is an encyclopedic volume (459 pages with index). . . useful for East Asian business scholars or those interested in the overseas activities of Japanese firms. Farrell has written. . . a sweeping survey of Japanese FDI. Walter Hatch, Journal of Japanese Studies Roger Farrell has written a weighty compendium on Japanese direct foreign investment. At over 450 pages it covers the full array of Japan s diverse industries and sectors, from fisheries and lumber to steel and automobiles, and in the service industries from banking to telecommunications. Apart from the breadth of coverage, this work is even more remarkable considering that Japanese multinationals and their overseas investments have been largely under the radar of social scientists of late, especially so since the ascent of China in the early years of the present decade.

Edgington, Growth and Change Enhanced with indexes, appendixes, and editorial opinions on the subject, Japanese Investment in the World Economy is a complete and comprehensive scholarly reference, ideal for college and community library economics collections. Midwest Book Review The Economics Shelf This book examines Japanese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the world economy over more than five decades. It provides a unique focus on the internationalisation experience of selected industries, such as forestry, textiles, electronics, motor vehicles, steel and services as well as case studies of individual firms. Roger Farrell considers the theoretical explanations for Japanese FDI and particular motivations which have been an ongoing rationale for FDI, including: energy and resource security the theme of retaining market access the relocation of manufacturing to retain international competitiveness withdrawal after the bubble economy the new phase of investment in the 2000s. Japanese Investment in the World Economy is distinctive in that it examines overseas investment by firms in the primary, manufacturing and services sectors over the period in which the Japanese economy became the second largest in the world.

Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment for Sustainable Economic Growth in Nigeria written by Samuel Okafor and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria has put in place an elaborate foreign direct investment policy in order to attract foreign investors. As the largest economy in Africa, Nigeria has become a final destination for foreign investors. Currently, Nigeria is the single largest recipient of FDI in Africa. Nigeria seeks to diversify its revenue base with the active participation of MNCs and so reduce overdependence on oil. The recent crash in the international oil price has caused deep abrasion in the Nigerian economy thereby casting aspersion on the effectiveness of FDI to stimulate growth. This study focused on identifying key factors which influenced the contribution of FDI to economic growth in Nigeria. The study revealed that two potent factors namely public sector investment and marginal efficiency of capital influenced the contribution of FDI to growth in Nigeria while public sector investment was found to boost foreign capital, declining marginal efficiency of capital eroded the private capital of domestic firms which had low absorptive capacity to harness the sophisticated technology of MNCs. It was recommended, inter alia, that only a dynamic FDI policy that takes into cognizance the importance of public sector investment and marginal efficiency of capital can harness FDI to contribute maximally to growth.
