In this study, countries were analyzed between 1990 and 2011 in order to determine whether a causal relationship exists among current account deficit, GDP, foreign direct investment, and total credits of G7. Analysis took into account the cross-sectional dependence and was applied to test the cau- sality among the variables form the panel. Firstly, panel unit root tests were used for determining stationary of variables. As a result of the panel unit root tests, it was found that GDP and foreign direct investment have a stationary structure and that total credits and current account deficit contain unit root. In order to see whether there is a long-term relationship among the variables or not, the panel co-integration test was used. As a result of the test, it was con- cluded that there is a co-integration relationship among the series. The possi- bility of a causal relationship was analyzed among the variables using the causality test developed by Elena Ivona Dumitrescu and Christop...
FDI, Financial Development and Economic Growth: Panel Cointegration Analysis
This study examines the long-run relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and financial development with economic growth for nine countries from 1982 to 2011 by utilizing panel cointegration analysis. The findings show the presence of long run relationships between FDI and financial development with the economic growth. The study also discovers that financial development indicators have a significantly positive and larger effect on growth than FDI does. Overall, this study provides more evidence on the important role of financial development in realizing the country's growth effects of FDI in the long run. Some efforts for the improvement of financial development should be made with an effective economic policy in order to benefit more from the presence of FDI in the recipient countries in the long run.

This paper investigates the impact of the financial development on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in ASEAN-5 countries over the period of 1980-2013. The 5 countries included in this study are Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Philippines. In the model, financial development, consumer price index (CPI) and real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita are the independent variables. The stationarity of the variables is examined through both first-and second-generation unit root tests with the cross-sectional dependence among countries. The Pedroni and Westerlund cointegration tests results show the existence of long run relationship among the variables. Long term coefficients are estimated using Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) model and it reveals that financial development has a nonlinear relation with FDI. When financial development passes the threshold point at above 70 point, it will benefit the FDI. Furthermore, the Panel Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) is applied to examine the causality relationship among the associated variables. The causality analysis confirms the presence of both long

This paper examines whether there is a long-run relationship among foreign direct investment (FDI), exports, and gross domestic product (GDP) in selected Asian economies. We use a newly developed cointegration test, the bootstrap autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL), to examine this long-run relationship. The motivation for using the bootstrap methodology is to generate and apply critical values for the ARDL test that are valid and appropriate for the specific data sets used. Further, the bootstrap tests allow for endogeneity and feedback that may exist. Pesaran et al. (2001) highlighted the possibility of degenerate cases, but empirical studies in general ignore these and may conclude that cointegration exists when it does not. Our tests fail to find evidence of cointegration when GDP is the dependent variable. The absence of a long-run forcing relation from FDI and exports to GDP implies that FDI and exports were not the sole sources of economic growth in our selected Asian economies.

This research aims to analyze a long run relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflow and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Indonesian economic since 1981 until 2012. The analysis method used is Cointegration Test by using Johansen and Granger Causality Test Model. The result suggests that both variables do not have the same trend in Indonesian economy since 1981-2012. The GDP has increased more slowly, although FDI flow has fluctuated progress in Indonesia. In the long run, there isn't any relationship between FDI flow and GDP in Indonesia. But in the short run, GDP causes FDI flow in Indonesia during 1981-2012.
Correlates of economic growth in developing countries: a panel cointegration approach
International Review of Applied Economics, 2012
The inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) has been found to play a crucial role in the economic growth of receiving countries. Using panel cointegration techniques, this perception was found to be mitigated by an empirical approach that yields different results from previous studies. While the growth in real FDI has an influence on real GDP growth across developing countries in the short-run, year-to-year periods, it does not explain real GDP in the long-run.
Impact of Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth in Ghana: A Cointegration Analysis
International journal of business and social research, 2013
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has been an important source of economic growth for Ghana, bringing in capital investment, technology and management knowledge needed for economic growth. This paper aims to study the relationship between FDI and economic growth in Ghana for the period 1980-2010 using time series data. The data used in this study was mainly secondary data collected from the period, 1980 to 2010 consisting of yearly observations for each variable. The real GDP growth and foreign direct investment net inflows as percent of GDP (FDI ratio) data were taken from the World Banks World Development Indicators 2011 CD Rom. Yearly time series data covering the period 1980-2010 for which data was available was used. The cointegration methodology is applied on yearly data of FDI, GDP and GNI to determine the extent to which these variables are related. The study establishes that a long-run equilibrium and causal relationship exists between the dependent variable; FDI and the two ...
Foreign direct investment, current and capital accounts: a cointegration analysis
2017
The current account, capital and financial accounts make up a country's balance of payments. These accounts tell a story about the state of an economy, its economic outlook and its strategies for attaining its foreseen goals. By means of cointegration and VECM approach, this study examines the impact of current and capital accounts on foreign direct investment in South Africa. The cointegration test results reveal the presence of a long run economic relationship amongst the variables implying that they share a common linear. Furthermore, foreign direct investment has a significant and positive relationship with current account and capital account in the short-run. GDP, which was, introduced as a control variable in the system showed an insignificant and negative relationship with foreign direct investment. Apart from contribution to the literature, the findings of this study are valuable for international organisations and the African governments in terms of future policies. The study recommends that the government should continue with the strategy of attracting more foreign investors into South Africa, because the money help boost domestic productivity and thus have a potential to expand the economy.
Causal Link Between FDI and Economic Growth? Panel Data Analysis of MINT Economies
International Journal of Business Analytics and Intelligence, 2019
This paper attempts to find out the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth in MINT economies namely, Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey, during 1981-2015. It investigates the causal link between the two variables, i.e. whether FDI causes economic growth or economic growth causes FDI. To test the relationship between the variables, panel data of four countries is analysed. Cointegration technique, Granger causality test and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) have been used to validate the relationship between the variables. The analysis of the results shows that there exists cointegration between FDI and economic, i.e. there exists a long-run relationship between FDI and economic growth. Long-run causality was found moving from GDP to FDI in Mexico, Nigeria and Turkey. This is important for policy decision-making as barriers to FDI inflows should be removed, and growth can be maximized by increasing the capacity to absorb FDI inflows.
