La stabilité politique a connu récemment un regain d’intérêt pour la manière dont elle affecte les décisions des investisseurs étrangers dans de nombreux pays en Afrique du Nord . L’objectif de cet article est de mettre en évidence le rôle crucial qu’elle joue dans l’attractivité des investissements directs étrangers, et d’analyser l’environnement politique des pays de cette région. Ainsi, à travers une évaluation empirique des données de panel, et selon le test d’Hausman, le modèle à effets fixes demeure le plus adapté pour notre analyse. Il a, ainsi, été conclu que la stabilité politique a un lien significatif et positif avec l’attractivité des investissements directs étrangers dans les cinq pays étudiés. Recently, political stability has seen a resurgence of interest in how it affects the decisions of foreign investors in many countries in North Africa. The objective of this article is to highlight the crucial role it plays in the attractiveness of foreign direct investment, and to analyze the political environment of the countries of this region. Thus, through an empirical evaluation of the panel data, and according to the Hausman test, the fixedeffects model remains the most suitable for our analysis. It was thus concluded that political stability has a significant and positive link with the attractiveness of foreign direct investment in the five countries studied.

State Behavior

AbstractRates of foreign direct investment (FDI) to Africa are increasing, yet little is known about how this will affect the political environment. One possibility, explored here, is that increasing levels of FDI within developing states will incentivize state conflict activity. Using an instrumental strategy, we show that in states with a low regard for civil liberties, or with unhealthy economies (i.e. states with a cash deficit), increased access to investment is associated with a higher number of conflict actions by the state. We argue that access to investment can push regimes into using violent strategies to secure their internal environment and to ensure their survival, specifically in their engaging in conflict against opposition and armed combatants. This underscores the need for extensive monitoring of state behavior following the receipt of investment, similar to the oversight of conditional aid.

Foreign Direct Investment support the development of the host countries and provides opportunities for the Multinational Corporations to geographically diversify their operations into greener pastures and reap better benefits. This study focuses on a few of the most relevant factors that attract FDI into the UAE. It is observed that the inflow of FDI into the UAE is on the increase year-on-year during the last five years. The relevant factors that make the UAE FDI-attractive are the political stability, geocentric location, well-developed infrastructure, stable currency, well developed financial system, the global crowd-pulling event the Expo 2020, and the proactive and investor-friendly policies of the government.

The Impact

This study dealt with the effect of foreign direct investment on the market value of the company during the period of time (2010-2017). This issue was studied through a sample of oil fields in southern Iraq in which the company operates within the first and second licensing contracts rounds and according to the circumstances and variables of the investment environment as it is. Although this investment often achieves high returns, it is also characterized by a high degree of risk and for the purpose of evaluating the impact of foreign direct investment on the market value of the company's stock prices for the period (2010-2017). The statistical scale (T-TEST) was used to indicate the significance of the correlation hypotheses. Between the return on investment as the independent variable and the market value as the dependent variable, and the use of the coefficient of determination (R2) that measures the effect of the independent variable (foreign direct investment) on the dependent variable (market value) and the F-Test to demonstrate acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis of the return on investing in the market value of the oil company, and if the company achieves a high return in foreign direct investment, the market value of it will be affected positively. The study was based on a set of goals, including determining the attractiveness of Iraq to foreign investments, especially the oil sector, and the study reached a number of conclusions, the most prominent of which is the existence of a strong inverse correlation between the return on investment and the market value of the company. And the existence of a slight impact of the return on investment on the market value of the company, and the study reached a number of recommendations, the most important of which is activating the investment climate through political stability and the clarity and stability of laws and legislation regulating investment, which is one of the most important factors affecting the investment decision.

General Method Of Moments

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the main determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the case of the Arab Maghreb countries. Design/methodology/approach We employ a dynamic panel analysis using the General Method of Moments for a sample composed of 105 countries over the period 1985–2018. Findings We show that FDI stability, market size, higher education enrolment, quality of institutions, distance, sharing of common border, and bilateral investment and integration agreements are the main determinants of FDI location. These determinants are neither general. The potential for attracting FDI from AMU countries is poorly exploited. FDI to the AMU is lower than estimated stock. The observed FDI to potential FDI ratio does not exceed 87%. France and Spain are the main investors in the AMU region thanks to historical and cultural links. The FDI from the United States, Canada, Germany, Belgium, and Japan are below what is expected. Originality/value The contribution of this paper is observed on the examining oh the determinants of the FDI in the Arab Maghreb countries. Our study demonstrate that the political stability can decrease investment risk in these countries. The administrations correspondingly require expanding their rules and strategies with union demonstrations which were at the beginning of the departure and closing of several foreign companies.
