The study examines the contribution of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the performance of non-oil exports in Nigeria within the framework of the export-led growth (ELG) hypothesis. Available evidence in Nigeria supports that the bulk of FDI inflow into the country goes to the oil sector of...

In our increasingly globalized economy, global competitiveness of countries and means to measure it gain increasing significance, for which one the biggest motivating forces is ability to improve chances for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), which in turn is a very substantial factor...

The aim of this paper is to empirically investigate the relationship between FDI and domestic investment in a sample of 10 Central and Eastern European countries over the period 1995-2015. We find FDI to lead to a creative destruction phenomenon, with a short-term crowding out effect on domestic...

The international economic debate on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has focused mainly on trade induced real income gains while the FDI related and innovation induced benefits have been largely neglected, although the EU and the US are leading FDI host countries and...

As measured by gains in their shares in international exports over the period 1985 to 2000, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland have successfully become export platforms for investors. The performance of other countries in Central and Eastern Europe has lagged behind in this respect. This...

This contribution takes a new look at the gravity equation model in relation to foreign direct investment (FDI) of leading industrialized countries which presents a useful basis for assessing certain potential impacts arising from BREXIT—the envisaged leaving of the EU by the United Kingdom....

This paper examines the potential Brexit impact on inward FDI (foreign direct investment) through its potential impact on the variables of the benchmark characterising the macroeconomy. Therefore, we propose to use automatic structural vector regression of Markov system change to distinguish...

This paper extends the long-run growth model of Esfahani et al. (2009) to a labor exporting country that receives large inflows of external income — the sum of remittances, FDI and general government transfers — from major oil-exporting economies. The theoretical model predicts real oil...

Using panel data from 1981 to 2005, this paper examines the Granger causality relations among GDP, exports and FDI ill the three first generation Asian newly industrializing economies (ANIEs): Korea. Taiwan, Singapore, and in the four second generation ANIEs: Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand,...
