The current study investigates nexuses between globalization and terrorism in context of Pakistan. Time series data utilized for time period 1981 to 2017. The data has been taken from the World Governance Indicator (WGI) and Swiss global index (KOF). Augmented Dicky fuller (ADF) test was applied to check out stationary of all variables such as terrorism, globalization, remittances, foreign direct investment and trade. The results of ADF test indicated that all variables were stationary at first difference. For empirical analysis Johnson co-integration and VAR model under causality were applied. The co-integration result shows all variables terrorism, globalization, FDI, remittances and trade are not co-integrated. Vector Auto Regression (VAR) Model under causality test shows that Globalization is causing factor of terrorism. While, other controlling variables such as remittances cause globalization, foreign direct investment and trade.

It is essential to explore the relationship between China’s urbanization, outward foreign direct investment, and carbon emissions, in order to better understand China’s carbon emissions reduction target. To this end, the nonlinear Granger causality test and Markov-switching model are applied to analyze the structural effects of urbanization and outward foreign direct investment on domestic emissions, on the basis of time series data from 1984–2016. The results show that the promotion effect of outward foreign direct investment on carbon emissions is increased from low-carbon regime to high-emission regime. Specifically, 1% increase in OFDI leads to a rise in carbon emissions by 0.064% and 0.112% under the former and latter regime respectively. Unlike the effect trend of outward foreign direct investment, the effect of urbanization on carbon emissions is decreased from a high-emission regime (5.221% rise in carbon emissions with 1% increase in the level of urbanization) to a low-carbon regime (3.133% rise in carbon emissions with 1% increase in the level of urbanization).

The Impact

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and workers’ remittances on private savings of Pakistan. This study employs ARDL bound testing co-integration approach, rolling window analysis, Granger causality test, Toda and Yamamoto Modified Wald causality test and variance decomposition test. Results indicate the significant positive impact of FDI and workers’ remittances on private savings in the long and short run. Causality analyses confirm the bidirectional causal relationship of FDI and workers’ remittances with private savings. It is recommended that policy makers should form friendly policies to attract more FDI and workers’ remittances in the country which leads to increase private savings in Pakistan. This leads to increase more fund for financial intermediaries to increase domestic investment opportunities in the country. This paper makes a unique contribution to the literature with reference to Pakistan, being a pioneering attempt to investigate the impact of FDI and workers’ remittances on private savings of Pakistan by using the long annual time series data and applying more rigorous econometric techniques.

The Impact

This study examines the relationship between the inflow of foreign direct investment and corruption. By using 2006 – 2015 time series data from 19 developed countries and 18 developing countries, it starts by testing the Granger causality between these two variables. It finds that causality direction goes from corruption to foreign direct investment. After making the time series data stationary, the study runs regression analysis for each country group separately. Significant and strong impact of corruption on foreign direct investment is found for each group, and the impact is even stronger for the developed countries. Data from each group could not support the hypothesis of ‘greasing the wheels of business’, which is used for justifying soft treatment of corruption in some countries. Policy implication is to stand strong against corruption in order to promote the inflow of foreign direct investment.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) occupies extensive importance in the socio-economic development of any economy. High inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) helps in the reduction of poverty, unemployment, and in achieving high economic growth in developing countries, like Pakistan. In home country, a good governance environment significantly affects the inflow of FDI. In this connection, the purpose of this study is to analyze the scenario of good governance in Pakistan and its impact on attracting FDI. For this study, time series data was used covering the period from 1996 to 2017. ABDL approach was used for estimation, the findings prove that there is a significant impact of Political Instability, Regulatory Quality, and Effectiveness of Government, whereas, Rule of Law (RL) as well as Corruption (CC) and exert an insignificant effect on the inflow of FDI in Pakistan during the mentioned time period. The study suggested that the Pakistani government needs to develop a good governance environment through better law and order situations, a transparent legal system, and effective policies with proper implementation; to ensure high FDI inflows in the country.

The Relationship

This paper analyzes the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI), exports and economic growth in Spain using annual time series data for the period 1970 to 2016. To examine these linkages the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration for the long-run is applied. The results confirm a long-run relationship among the examined variables. The Granger causality test indicates a strong unidirectional causality between FDI and exports with direction from FDI to exports. Besides, the results for the relationship between FDI and economic growth are interesting and indicate that there is no significant Granger causality from FDI to economic growth and vice-versa.

Close Relationship

In ASEAN 5 countries namely Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia have almost the same culture, in terms of social and economic aspects, the 5 countries have links between one country and another, so it is possible that the flow of foreign investment has a close relationship with economic growth. This study aims to determine the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Economic Growth in ASEAN 5 Periods 1986-2017. This research is a two-way relationship research between the independent variable and the dependent variable that are reciprocal. The type of data used is the 1986-2017 time series data. Sources of data obtained from the World Bank. Data analysis technique uses Granger Causality analysis to see the 2-way relationship, and VAR (Vector Auto Regression) analysis by looking at the implus response factor for non-stationary data using VECM (Vector Error Correction Model) analysis. The results of the study state that based on the Granger Causality test there is no relationship between FDI and GDP and vice versa between GDP and FDI. Based on the VECM test there is a relationship between FDI and GDP.

In developing countries, the foreign sector plays an important role and a critically important one for economic stabilization. The yearly data was employed for the period 1975- 2017 for the analysis. The variables of the study include the gross domestic product, foreign direct investment, inflation rate, industry sector growth, broad money, gross fixed capital formation, trade openness, and gross savings. An empirical analysis is done by using  and the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test is applied to analyze the unit root. In the present study, empirical findings demonstrated the negative association between economic growth and foreign direct investment in Pakistan. This argument also supports the idea, where foreign direct investment will not be in favor of the growth of developing countries as the domestic industry would not compete to the foreign industry which provides the products at a low rate. Secondly, foreign direct investment in Pakistan is not that level which can affect the GDP of Pakistan.

Quality Infrastructure

Kenya’s foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows as a percentage of GDP have been increasing negligibly over the last 4 years, increasing from 0.4 per cent in 2010 to 0.9 per cent in 2013. And yet evidence shows that quality infrastructure lowers the cost of doing business and thus attracts FDI. Kenya has visible signs of infrastructure inadequacy and inefficiencies despite the fact that since the year 2000, there has been increased budgetary allocation to the infrastructure sector. This study, therefore, sought to determine the effects of transport, energy, communication and water and waste infrastructure development on FDI inflows in Kenya. The study used annual time series data sourced from Central Bank of Kenya, World Bank and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Using multiple regression analysis, it was established that improved transport infrastructure, communication infrastructure, water and waste infrastructure, exchange rate, economic growth and trade openness are important determinants of FDI inflows into Kenya. Hence, for Kenya to attract more FDI, continued infrastructural development is key since quality infrastructure affords investors a conducive investment climate in which to operate.
