Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses panel data for the period ranging from 1996 to 2013 to investigate the contribution of US foreign direct investment to economic growth in fourteen Sub-Saharan African Countries. We apply the fixed and random effects model as well as the Generalized Method of Moments model to estimate two different equations. In the first equation, capital stock is estimated to include US foreign direct investments for selected years while the second equation excludes US direct investment from the capital stock variable. The results of the estimations revealed that domestic capital significantly affect economic growth in these countries but found no discernible evidence that US FDI have any direct impact on economic growth in the host countries. The results also found significant effect of political stability and openness on the growth of Sub Saharan African countries. The implication of these findings is that the region can promote economic growth by mobilizing domestic resources, ensuring that there is political stability and opening their economies to external competition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign investment is even less likely to meet Sub-Saharan Africa's rising foreign exchange and savings gaps in the 1990s than in the dismal 1980s. Investors interested in Sub-Saharan Africa are more likely to commit technology and management than equity capital. Economic activity and overall economic policy may be more effective at raising the total volume of investment than special fiscal and other incentives.

Download or read book Multinational Enterprises Foreign Direct Investment and Growth in Africa written by Bernard Michael Gilroy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can Africa, the world’s most lagging region, benefit from globalisation and achieve sustained economic growth? Africa needs greater investment by Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) to improve competitiveness and generate more growth through positive spill-over effects. Despite the fact that Africa’s returns on investment averaged 29% since 1990, Africa has gained merely 1% of global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows. The challenge for African countries is how to be a more desirable destination for FDI. The study integrates three currents of economic research, namely from the literature on (endogenous) economic growth, convergence and regional integration, the explanations for Africa’s poor growth and the growing understanding of the role of MNEs in a global economy. The empirical side of the book is based on an econometric study of the determinants of FDI in Africa as well as a detailed firm-level survey conducted in 2000.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of foreign direct investments from emerging economies into sub-Saharan Africa with emphasis on how foreign direct investment (FDI) affect the profitability, productivity and consequently economic growth of these countries. The relevance of this is that it highlights how foreign ownership of firms in form of foreign direct investments (FDI) impact on the operation of these domestic firms operating in SSA region. With respect to productivity, both any foreign ownership and majority foreign ownership are shown to have a positive and statistically significant effect (at 99% confidence) in each of their separate regressions.
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment Information Technology and Economic Growth Dynamics in Sub Saharan Africa written by Simplice Asongu and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research assesses how information and communication technology (ICT) modulates the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth dynamics in 25 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa for the period 1980-2014. The employed economic growth dynamics areGross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, real GDP and GDP per capita while ICT is measured by mobile phone penetration and internet penetration. The empirical evidence is based on the Generalised Method of Moments. The study finds that both internet penetration and mobile phone penetration overwhelmingly modulate FDI to induce overall positive net effects on all three economic growth dynamics. Moreover, the positive net effects are consistently more apparent in internet-centric regressions compared to "mobile phone"-oriented specifications. In the light of negative interactive effects, net effects are decomposed to provide thresholds at which ICT policy variables should be complemented with other policy initiatives in order to engender favorable outcomes on economic growth dynamics. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

Download or read book How Does Foreign Direct Investment Affect Economic Growth written by Mr.Eduardo Borensztein and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-09-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We test the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in a cross-country regression framework, utilizing data on FDI flows from industrial countries to 69 developing countries over the last two decades. Our results suggest that FDI is an important vehicle for the transfer of technology, contributing relatively more to growth than domestic investment. However, the higher productivity of FDI holds only when the host country has a minimum threshold stock of human capital. In addition, FDI has the effect of increasing total investment in the economy more than one for one, which suggests the predominance of complementarity effects with domestic firms.

This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, , language: English, abstract: The paper investigates what may be the impact of the predicted fall of FDI on GDP in SSA. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (2019) indicated that FDI flows to Africa increased by 11 percent to $46 billion, despite declines in many of the larger recipient countries. The increasing of FDI flows was justified by continued resource-seeking inflows, some diversified investments, and a recovery in South Africa after several years of low-level inflows. However, the predictions of 2020 regarding FDI flows are dramatic. Compared to 2019, global flows of FDI are expected to decrease by up 40 percent from their value $1.5 trillion in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, 2020). This organization predicted a fall of FDI to reach -45 to -30 in Europe, North America -35 to -20, -40 to -25 in Africa, -45 to -30 in Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean -55 to – 40, and in transition economies -45 to -30. The prediction for Africa of a 25-40 percent decline is based on GDP growth projections as well as a range of investment-specific factors. The same organization indicated a decline in GDP growth for Africa from 3.2 per cent to -2.8 percent. The primary goal of this study is to investigate the relationship between FDI and GDP through import (IMP), export (EXP), gross capital formation (GCF), and household consumption (HHC), and government expenses (GEXP). Specifically, the study tends to address the following sub-objectives: Analyzing the relationship between FDI-GDP-HHC-GEXP-GCF-EXP-IMP. Analyzing direct, and indirect impact of FDI on GDP for 40 SSA altogether. Investigating the impact of FDI on GDP in SSA countries whose FDI is under median on one hand, and SSA countries whose FDI is greater than median, on the other hand. Finally, comparing the impact of FDI on GDP in 12 SSA with highest and lowest FDI.

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.
