Objective – The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of corporate taxes on the flow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Nigeria between 1983 and 2017. Methodology/Technique – This study adopts an ex-post facto research design. Secondary data was sourced from the World Bank Development Indicator, the Central Bank of Nigeria database, and the Federal Inland Revenue database. The research data was analyzed using the Error Correction Model (ECM). Findings – The coefficient of determination (R2) shows that approximately 77% of systematic changes in FDI are attributed to the combined effect of all of the explanatory variables used in this study. Specifically, the study concludes that Company Income Tax, Value Added Tax, and Custom and Excise Duties have a significant but negative relationship with FDI. In contrast, Tertiary Education Tax has a positive association with FDI. Further, Exchange Rate has a negative but significant relationship with FDI, Inflation had an insignificant but positive association with FDI, and GDP growth Rate and Trade Openness demonstrate a positive and significant association with FDI. Novelty – The findings of this study are distinguishable from previous studies, as it uncovers new evidence that higher Education Tax Rates influences FDI and emerging evidence on the effect of non-tax variables on FDI inflow.

Penelitian ini menganalisis perkembangan neraca perdagangan Indonesia dan faktor yang mempengaruhinya selama periode Kuartal I tahun 2006 sampai dengan Kuartal II tahun 2013 menggunakan Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Neraca perdagangan Indonesia menunjukkan perkembangan yang positif dalam kurun waktu 2006-2011, dan pertumbuhan negatif selama periode 2012-2013. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa baik dalam jangka panjang maupun jangka pendek, konsumsi domestik dan nilai tukar riil berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap neraca perdagangan Indonesia, sedangkan variabel Investasi Asing Langsung dan PDB Negara lain berpengaruh positif. Nilai error correction model yang negatif dan signifikan menunjukkan adanya koreksi dari pergerakan variabel pada keseimbangan jangka panjang. Hal ini mengindikasikan pentingnya pemerintah untuk mengeluarkan kebijakan yang tepat untuk mengatasi defisit neraca perdagangan Indonesia, antara lain menjaga stabilitas nilai tukar, mengendalikan konsumsi masyarat terhadap barang impor, dan menarik Foreign Direct Investment. This paper examines the development of Indonesia’s trade balance and its determinant factors from the first quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2013 using a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The development of trade balance from the year 2006-2011 has shown a positive trend. However between the year 2012 and 2013, the trade balance has been negative.The analysis shows that both in the short run and the long run,the domestic consumption and Real Exchage Rate have negative and significant influence on Indonesia’s trade balance. Whilst Foreign Direct Investment and Foreign GDP have positive effect. The coefficient of Error Correction Model is negative and significant implying that there is correction movement from those variabels in the long run. This study suggests that the Government should make the right policy to overcome the deficit of trade balance by maintaining including exchange rate stability,and household consumption of imported goods as well as by attracting Foreign Direct Investment.

ABSTRACTThis study aims to explore macroeconomic factors that affect non-oil and gas exports in Indonesia. The research data are non-oil and gas export data, Gross Domestic Product, inflation, US dollar exchange rate, foreign direct investment in the 2010-2019 period published by Bank Indonesia statistics. The research method uses the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) analysis with the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) stationary test, Johansen's cointegration test, Granger causality test, Error Correction Model. The results showed there was a cointegration relationship between all dependent and independent variables, a direct relationship with the US dollar exchange rate and inflation on Gross Domestic Product, Gross Domestic Product on exports. In the short term Gross Domestic Product, inflation, exchange rates, and foreign direct investment have no significant effect on non-oil and gas exports. In the long run, Gross Domestic Product has a significant effect on non-oil and gas exports.Keywords: non-oil export, macroeconomy, cointegration, causality, error correction model

Abstract This study aims to analyze the factors that have become the motives and behavior of United States (US) outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) to four samples of member countries of Islamic Cooperation Organzation (OIC). The OFDI motives of US are classified into market seeking, efficiency seeking, and resource seeking. While OFDI behavior in US is divided into two, namely complementary to export or substitution to export. The analysis technique used is Error Correction Model (ECM). The results of this study indicate that in the long term there are known market seeking motives of US OFDI to Turkey and Malaysia. In the long term, there are known efficiency seeking motives of US OFDI to Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. In the short term, market seeking and efficiency seeking motives of US only exist in Turkey. Whereas resource seeking motives of Unite States OFDI are not found in four samples of OIC member countries both in the long term and in the short term. As for the behavior of US OFDI it is known that US in the long term and short-term complementary behavior toward US export to three samples of OIC member countries (Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Malaysia). On the contrary, US OFDI in the long term and short-term substitution toward the export of US to Turkey.Key words : market seeking, efficiency seeking, resource seeking, complementary and substitutionJEL Classification: F20, F21, F23 AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk meganalisis faktor-faktor yang menjadi motif dan perilaku investasi asing langsung ke luar negeri (OFDI) Amerika Serikat ke empat sampel negara anggota Organisasi Kerjasama Islam (OKI). Motif OFDI Amerika Serikat diklasifikasikan dalam market seeking, efficiency seeking, dan resource seeking. Sedangkan perilaku OFDI Amerika Serikat dibedakan menjadi dua, yaitu komplementer terhadap ekspor atau substitusi terhadap ekspor. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah Error Correction Model (ECM). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pada jangka panjang diketahui adanya motif market seeking OFDI Amerika Serikat ke negara Turki dan Malaysia. Pada jangka panjang diketahui adanya motif efficiency seeking dari OFDI Amerika Serikat ke negara Arab Saudi dan Indonesia. Pada jangka pendek motif market seeking maupun motif efficiency seeking dari OFDI Amerika Serikat hanya ada pada negara Turki. Sedangkan motif resource seeking dari OFDI Amerika Serikat tidak ditemukan pada empat sampel negara anggota OKI baik dalam jangka panjang maupun dalam jangka pendek. Adapun mengenai perilaku dari OFDI Amerika Serikat diketahui bahwa OFDI Amerika Serikat dalam jangka panjang dan jangka pendek  berperilaku komplementer terhadap ekspor Amerika Serikat ke tiga sampel negara anggota OKI (Arab Saudi, Indonesia, dan Malaysia). Sebaliknya OFDI Amerika Serikat dalam jangka panjang dan jangka pendek berperilaku substitusi terhadap ekspor Amerika Serikat ke negara Turki.Kata kunci: market seeking, efficiency seeking, resource seeking, komplementer dan substitusi.JEL Classification: F20, F21, F23
