The Impact

The study aims to assess the impact of terrorism activities on foreign direct investment in a panel study of 33 Sub-Saharan African countries. In order to achieve the objective of the study, it employed panel data methodologies such as GLS random-effect, ML random-effect, fixed effect regression, generalized linear model and multivariate regression methods to enable it make statistically and robust inference or conclusion. However, the study found that there is an inverse linear relationship or impact on foreign direct investment in Sub-Saharan Africa. Also, the study found out that economic growth and foreign direct investment are inversely related and corruption control has positive and direct linear relationship with foreign direct investment. As the study focused on the linear relationship of terrorism activities and foreign direct investments, it recommends further studies into the subject-matter by employing the non-linear approaches to ascertain the non-linear relationship between the two.

The Impact

The study explored whether the complementarity between foreign direct investment(FDI) and natural resources availability led to poverty reduction in Southern and WesternAfrican nations using panel data analysis (fixed effects, random effects, pooled ordinaryleast squares (OLS) and dynamic generalised methods of moments (GMM) with dataspanning from 2002 to 2012. The objective emanates from the theoretical view that if thecountries that are receiving FDI have abundance of natural resources, a large number ofthe unemployed people are likely to get jobs, earn income and get out of poverty zone.Three measures of poverty were used in the current study, namely life expectancy atbirth, total (years), household consumption expenditure as a ratio of gross nationalproduct and mortality rate and infant (per 1 000 live births). Generally, all the four paneldata analysis methods produced similar finding: the interaction between FDI and naturalresources reduced poverty levels in African countries studied. Southern and WesternAfrican nations are therefore urged to implement FDI enhancement policies which attractforeign investors into the natural resources extraction sector if they want to sustainablyreduce poverty. Future studies should investigate other macroeconomic factors that mustbe available in the host country before FDI reduce poverty in all its forms.

<abstract> <p>Access to clean energy is necessary for environmental cleanliness and poverty reduction. That notwithstanding, many in developing countries especially those in sub-Saharan Africa region lack clean energy for their routine domestic activities. This study sought to unravel the factors that influence clean energy accessibility in sub-Saharan Africa region. Clean energy accessibility, specifically access to electricity, and access to clean cooking fuels and technologies, were modeled as a function of income, foreign direct investment, inflation, employment and political regime for a panel of 31 sub-Saharan countries for the period 2000–2015. Regression analysis from fixed effect, random effect and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares show that access to clean energy is influenced positively by income, foreign direct investment, political regime and employment while inflation has some negative effect on its accessibility. The policy implications from the findings among other things include that expansion in GDP per capita in the sub-region shall be helpful in increasing accessibility to clean energy. Moreover, strengthening the democratic institutions of countries in the region shall enhance the citizens' accessibility to clean energy. Ensuring sustainable jobs for the citizens is necessary for access clean energy.</p> </abstract>

The chapter documents the growth of economic relations between China and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), focussing on trade, foreign direct investment, Chinese construction and engineering projects, loans, and aid. The chapter highlights the way in which these are sometimes combined in resources-for-infrastructure deals. It shows the variety of different actors involved in these relationships, including state and non-state actors, on both the Chinese and African sides. It then discusses the role of strategic diplomatic, strategic economic, and commercial objectives in the growing Chinese involvement in SSA. It also addresses questions of African agency and the interests of African actors in economic relations with China. The impact of political, strategic economic and commercial factors on different types of economic relations is then analyzed econometrically.
