The Relationship

In the literature, it is possible to come across studies examining the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on income inequality. In this study, a literature review has been conducted in order to better consideration the effect of FDI on income inequality. In this context, the main purpose of the study is to reveal the effect of FDI on income inequality within the framework of theoretical approaches based on empirical study findings. In addition, the study aims to contribute to the debates on the effects of foreign direct investment on income inequality. The findings of the studies on the relationship between FDI and income inequality shows differences. In some of the studies examined, there are findings supporting that FDI increases income and wage inequality. On the other hand, some other studies have found evidences that FDI reduces income inequality. Otherwise, there are also studies showing that FDI does not have a significant effect on income inequality.

The Relationship

It has been argued that “Absolute poverty can be alleviated if at least two conditions are met. First, economic growth must occur—or mean income must rise—on a sustained basis. Second, economic growth must be neutral with respect to income distribution or reduce income inequality.” By way of reference to current and previous literature on economic development, this chapter aims to investigate the relationship between poverty, economic growth, and income distribution, as a means of mitigating gaps in the literature on the topic, as well as contributing to the literature of Foreign Direct Investment as a tool for poverty alleviation.

The Relationship

The study investigates the theoretical and empirical literature framework that explains the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and exports. Three prominent views explaining the causality relationship between exports and FDI were discussed and these include the FDI- led exports view, exports-led FDI view and the feedback view. FDI-led exports view mentions that exports can increase or decrease in direct response to changes in foreign direct investment inflows or outflows. The exports-led FDI view suggests that exports spur FDI whilst the feedback view says that both exports and FDI promote each other. The trend analysis between FDI and exports for Botswana as a case study was also looked into using time series annual data ranging from 1980 to 2011 obtained from World Development Indicators. The literature review framework analysis shows that the FDI-led exports view is more popular with most theoretical and empirical studies. It is against this background that the author recommends authorities to come up with policies that attract FDI into their economies in order to boost export sector for growth reasons.

Foreign Direct Investment has been linked with an extensive number of positive consequences both on micro and macro level. Still, firms of emerging economies have difficulties attracting FDI. Part of the problem may also lie in the lack of FDI intent on behalf of the firm management to attain FDI. In this study, we aim to construct a framework that would use for a future empirical research of FDI attraction and FDI intent on the organizational level. A systematic approach is described providing a strong foundation for an empirical study soon to come. The process encompasses research design, development of the measurement tool, data collection, preparation and analysis-planning phase. Additionally, we suggest the potential findings and benefits of research following the framework developed.
