Abstract This is an expository study towards ascertaining the ability of Indonesia in mitigating carbon emission. Indonesia is positioned as among the best performing economies in Southeast Asia because of its vigorous fiscal management and sustained economic growth over the years. The country’s foreign investment inflow increased to 14% in 2019, largely in gas, electricity, water, and transportation because of the viability of its macroeconomic reforms. To test the environmental implication of this macroeconomic performance of Indonesia and to see its ability to achieve carbon neutrality, we adopt Indonesian quarterly data of 1990Q1- 2018Q4 for empirical analysis. Relevance Instruments in the economic performance of Indonesia such as urbanization, foreign direct investment (FDI) and renewable energy source are all adopted for accurate estimations and analysis of this topic. Different approaches such as structural break test, autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL)-bounds testing and granger causality are all adopted in this study. Our analysis and policy recommendations are based on short run and long run ARDL dynamics and granger causality. Findings from ARDL confirmed, negative relationship between carbon emission and renewable energy source, FDI and urbanization. Also, a U-shape instead of inverted U-shape EKC is found confirming the impeding implication of Indonesian economic growth to its environmental performance if not checkmate. From granger causality analysis, all the variables are seen transmitting to urbanization in a one-way causal relationship. Also, FDI and renewable energy prove to be essential determinants of the country’s environment development, hence, FDI is seen transmitting to both energy source (fossil fuels and renewables) in a one- way causal relationship. Renewable energy is as well seen having two ways causal relationship with both carbon emission and fossil fuels. This result has equally exposed the significant position of the three instruments (urbanization, FDI and renewable energy source) in Indonesia environment development.

This study investigates growth effects of foreign direct investment and financial deepening in Nigeria for the period 1981-2018. Data employed for this study were obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and World Development Indicators. Pairwise granger causality test and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model were employed in the data analysis. Empirical results show that foreign direct investment (FDI) has positive significant effect on economic growth (GDP) in Nigeria both in the long and short runs. Financial deepening measured as broad money supply as a ratio of GDP (broad money velocity) has positive significant effect on GDP in Nigeria in the long run but the position is reversed to negative non-significant in the short run. In the long run, financial deepening indicator-credit to private sector as a ratio of GDP-, has negative non-significant effect on GDP in Nigeria while its influence is absent in the short run model. Findings also reveal a unidirectional causality from FDI to GDP. Likewise, unidirectional causality flows from GDP to each of the two financial deepening indicators, thus lending credence to the demand-following hypothesis. This study concludes that foreign direct investment and financial deepening have positive growth effects in Nigeria with causality flowing from foreign direct investment to economic growth and the latter granger-causing financial deepening in Nigeria. To boost economic growth, there is a need for Nigeria’s government to further develop the financial system and implement policies to stimulate FDI inflows to the country.

In the globalised world of today there is a process of integration between the countries and one way of integrating is by trade. In this instance export led growth surfaces and arises as an imperative factor. In the related pretext works offers rich acumens regarding role of Foreign Direct Investment and economic growth. In this paper we study the causal relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Exports on Growth of select 30 OECD countries. As a measure of economic growth Industrial Production Index (IPI) is used in the study. To examine the relationship Augmented Dickey Fuller Test and Phillip Perron Test was employed to test the unit Root and to examine the long term equilibrium relationship and direction of causality Johansen’s cointegration test and Granger causality was used. The study reveals important cointegrating relationship between IPI and FDI and IPI and Exports in 22 and 23 sample OECD countries respectively. In Granger lead relationship between IPI and FDI three bilateral relationships were revealed in Canada, Czech Republic and Spain and 16 Unilateral relationships were revealed in the same .In granger led relationship between FDI and IPI only 9 Unilateral relationships were revealed. In IPI and Exports only one bilateral Granger lead relationship was revealed in Finland followed by 6 unilateral relationships. In granger lead relationship between Exports and IPI 16 Unilateral relationship was exhibited. Hence to achieve economic growth FDI and exports are majorly instrumental. The empirical findings suggest that OECD countries should continue the policy aimed at attracting FDI and expanding the exports sector in FDI led Growth and exports led growth. This study has some major implications in strategizing FDI and export policies for OECD region.
