The contributory role of foreign investment on growth in Africa recent years has received much consideration by researchers and policy makers. Studies on this area available are not clear. In most recent studies, foreign direct investment has emerged as a determining factor of economic growth. In light of this fact, the current study is an attempt to investigate the contributions of foreign direct investment on economic growth in developing economies of Africa. This study uses yearly panel data for the period 1995-2015 for 5 developing economies of Africa. The results of Panel ARDL indicate that foreign direct investment has positive impact on economic growth as well as a positive sign of trade openness, inflation and labor. The study stresses that for increasing economic growth there is a need to seek more foreign investments, increase trade openness and inflation at the same time improve upon employment conditions in selected African developing countries.

This study aims to determine the one-way causality relationship between foreign investment and economic growth, a one-way causality relationship between economic growth and foreign investment, and a two-way causality relationship between foreign investment and economic growth in Indonesia. This was conducted in Indonesia, the data are secondary data taken using the method time series from 1971 to 2018 from the official websites, the Investment Coordinating Board, and literature sources, Foreign Investment and Gross Domestic Product. (1) in the long run the Economic Growth variable has a significant effect on Foreign Direct Investment, and vice versa; and (2) the Foreign Direct Investment variable has a significant effect on Economic Growth; (3) in the short term, the Economic Growth variable has an influence on Foreign Direct Investment, and vice versa; and the Foreign Direct Investment variable has an influence on Economic Growth. It is possible to have a better long-term relationship, bringing positive impact on economic growth in Indonesia when investment in Indonesia increases. Conversely, when economic growth decreases, it means that foreign investment is also low. Granger Causality test, shows a two-way causality relationship between Economic Growth and Foreign Direct Investment and vice versa. It is necessary to maintain growth to attract foreign direct investment, as well as foreign investment. Investment climate needs to be improved enabling to invest in Indonesia.

Globalization of capital and especially foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade has increased dramatically over the past decades. In developing economies; FDI has become the most stable and largest component of capital flows. This study examines the interaction between FDI, trade openness and economic growth with a focus on Asian FDI, trade and 13 West African countries for the period 1980-2015. The results from weighted Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) show that both FDI and trade significantly contribute to economic growth. The study also indicates that a unidirectional causality runs from FDI to economic growth indicating FDI-growth-led hypothesis while a bidirectional causality is detected between trade and economic growth validating feedback-effect. Increasing FDI could also promote trade by opening and expanding market opportunities.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an important sector of many developing economies in general and of Vietnam in particular. In Vietnam, the FDI sector contributed up to 27.7% of the average economic growth rate of 6.0% per year from 2010 to 2018. Besides this contribution, operations of FDI in Vietnam reveal many limitations, the most noticeable of which is the weak linkage between FDI and Vietnamese firms. This article examines determinants of FDI-domestic firms linkage in Vietnam. This research looks at all three types of linkage, including horizontal linkage, vertical linkage, and supply-backward linkage. Factors that have a positive impact on linkages are provincial economic growth, firms’ technology level, regional factors, being located in industrial zones, and operating in the manufacturing sector. Macroeconomic instability has a negative impact on linkage. The quality of economic governance, as measured by the Provincial Competitiveness Index, is important for attracting FDI, but does not affect linkages.

The analysis of the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the rate of economic growth on the example of China and Ukraine is carried out. It is shown that foreign direct investment has a positive impact, but this is not the only factor that determines economic growth. Apart from the attracted foreign investment, the country must have developed institutions that will protect foreign capital from both the internal political and the external risks. Such an institutional environment will contribute to the growth of foreign direct investment and the effectiveness of their implementation. It is shown that at the same levels of foreign direct investment per capita – investments in China tend to grow steadily and less volatility. At the same time, foreign investment in Ukraine is unstable and highly dependent on macroeconomic factors, such as global economic crises and armed aggression of the neighboring country. To determine the impact of foreign investments on the pace of economic growth, the article used a regression and correlation apparatus. A cross-correlation function was used to assess the lagging impact of foreign investment on economic growth. The novelty of this publication is that by using correlation analysis, a significant difference in the lags of FDI impact on the GDP growth rates for the economies of Ukraine and China has been proved. It is found that Ukraine is characterized by a rapid short-term response to foreign direct investment with zero and single lag, while for the Chinese economy this response is dissolved over time. The main stagnation factors in Ukraine include the following: practical absence of the possibility of direct investment of the population into the country’s economy (underdeveloped stock market), significant political (risks of loss of property), macroeconomic and corruption risks.

Gross domestic Product (GDP) as dependent variable while Foreign Direct Investment, Inflation, External debt, Capital formation and Trade as explanatory variable are used. Unit Root Test applies to check the stationary of data in which GDP & INF are integrate at level 1(0) while the channel of variables like FDI, T, ED, CF are integrate at 1stdifference. Auto-regressive distributed lagged model (ARDL) technique applies for estimation. The study finds out the relation between channels of variable that how these variables are interrelated. The findings indicate that External debt and capital formation has Inverse influence on Economic growth while Trade Openness, Inflation, foreign Direct Investment has positive impact on economic growth.

This study examines the impact of financial development on energy consumption for a wide array of countries. The estimators used for financial development are foreign direct investment, economic growth and urbanization. The study employed a panel data regression on 136 countries with time frame of years 1990 to 2019. The model in this study deploys system GMM technique to estimate the model. The results show that financial development has a significant negative impact on energy consumption overall. Foreign direct investment and urbanization has significant impact on energy consumption. Also, economic growth positive impact on energy consumption its mean that economic growth promotes energy consumption. When dividing further the sample into different groups of regions such as Asian, European, African, North/Latin American and Caribbean countries then mixed results related to the nexus between financial development and energy consumption with respect to economic growth, urbanization and foreign direct investment. The policymakers in these different groups of countries must balance the relationship between energy supply and demand to achieving the sustainable economic development.
