- Description
- A panel data analysis from 1980 to 2019 on determinants that lure Foreign Direct Investment in 48 low-income countries in SSA was carried out. The fixed effects random effects and Haussmann test were used. This study also contributed to the existing literature by applying all these techniques and embracing the Institutional and eclectic paradigm theoretical framework to assess the significance of factors that influence FDI inflow. A trend analysis of developed, transitional, and developing countries as compared to low-income countries, on factors that attract investors to finance their country's economic activities was discussed. Previous studies show that high- and middle-income countries attract higher FDI as compared to low-income countries. Results from the study show that political stability, investment in infrastructure, political stability and control of corruption enhance FDI. The study fills the gap in the existing literature that location factors in coastal regions attract more FDI as compared to inland economies. High income economies attract more FDI as compared to low income economies in SSA.
