This paper examines how capital flight, loan interest rates, inflation, exchange rates and economic growth influence foreign direct investment in the ASEAN-8 countries. We apply fixed effect estimation to panel data for data belonging to eight countries from the period 1994 to 2018. The results show that capital flight and economic growth have a positive and significant effect on foreign direct investment. An increase in capital flight, capital retain from sources of funds which greater than the use of funds, has encouraged foreign direct investment to increase. Furthermore, increased economic growth has stimulated foreign direct investment. We find that an increase in loan interest rate (SIBOR), inflation and depreciation of the exchange rate triggers a significant decline in foreign direct investment. This finding implies that capital retention from capital flight and economic growth are the main factors that create an increase in foreign direct investment in the ASEAN-8 countries. Meanwhile, loan interest rates (SIBOR), inflation and depreciation of the exchange rate are the risk factors that investors need to consider when investing in those particular countries. This paper is useful for policy makers in the ASEAN-8 countries to consider these five variables, as the important factors that significantly influence foreign direct investment in the ASEAN-8 countries.

The aim of this study is to find the relationship between international trade and economic growth in ASEAN countries. Three independent variables used to measure the economic growth include international trade, the exchange rate, and foreign direct investment. This study employs a pedroni panel cointegration test to examine the data from 2004 to 2015. The results show that there is a long term cointegrated relationship between international trade and economic growth in the ASEAN countries. International trade and foreign direct investment also have a long term, positive impact on economic growth. Meanwhile, the exchange rate also has a long term, negative influence on the economic growth. In addition, there is an indirect relationship and bidirectional causalities between the GDP and international trade, as well as between the GDP and the exchange rate. On the other hand, there is a direct relationship and a bidirectional causality between international trade and the exchange rate. The FDI leads GDP, international trade, and exchange rates. Our results suggest that international trade must be supported by government policies that aim to enhance the financing of new investment for economic growth.

Although it is widely recognized that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows have a dominant effect on economic growth of host countries, the determinants of FDI inflows are still unclear. Especially, about the effect of exchange rate on FDI inflow, the results reached by scholars vary across countries or regions. It is of great practical and theoretical significance to explore the influencing effects of exchange rate on FDI inflow and identify the mechanisms that underlie them in close association with regional economic characters so as to help local government implement targeted government policies to achieve sustainable FDI inflow and sustainable economic growth. For this purpose, the influencing effects and the influencing mechanisms of the exchange rate on FDI inflows are investigated for Zhejiang province, China, over 1985–2019 by employing the co-integration tests, vector error correction models, Granger causality tests, and impulse response tests. Empirical results indicate that there are long-term stable and unidirectional causal relationship between the exchange rate and FDI inflow. Continuous appreciation of RMB against USD discourages FDI inflow. The mechanism which underlies the long-term relationship is the wealth effect, rather than the cost effect or the demand effect. By contrast, in the short run, neither the exchange rate nor the three influencing mechanism has a significant impact on FDI inflow. These results suggest policy recommendations for improving FDI by accumulating human capital and improving infrastructure. These findings are also applicable for other countries or regions with similar economic characters.

This research to analyze the influence of macro economic variables impact on Chinese Foreign Direct Investment in Indonesia. The influence of China’s economic growth, Indonesia’s economic growth, interest rates, inflation and exchange rates against Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) China in Indonesia in the long term and short term. Type of this research is descriptive research, the secondary data use form time series data, from 2001Q1 – 2016Q4, taken  from agencies and related institution, the analysis using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Error Correction Model (ECM) to see the influence in a long term and impact in the short term. This research show that Indonesia’s economic growth of China’s economic growth and inflation is have a significant effect in the long term Chinas’s FDI in Indonesia. Variable economic growth of Indonesia’s, interest rates, inflation, exchange rate in the short term influence China’s Foreign Direct Investment in Indonesia. How ever in the long term interest rates and exchange rate do not influence significantly, to China’s FDI in Indonesia.

<p>Globalization and the open economic enchanced the integration of financial market and the economic condition in several countries. The effects of such integration shows in the movement of capital flows between countries. The potential risks of the capital flows, such as sudden reversal, the pressure on the exchange rate and high inflation and the susceptibility on financial sector, might be be arised. The goal of this research is to analyze the relationship between capital flows, exchange rates and inflation in Indonesia period 2000.01 – 2012.09. The method used in this research is simultaneous equations method. The model equations in this study are divided into two, which are a short-term investments are proxied from portfolio investment and long-term investments proxied from foreign direct investment. The results of the first model estimates the short-term investments shows that the exchange rate and inflation does not significant affecting short-term investments, but the ratio of domestic interest rates to foreign interest has a positive and significant impact on short-term investments. While, a short-term investments has negative and significant impact on exchange rate IDR per USD and inflation positive and significant effect on exchange rate. Factors affecting the rate of inflation is SBI interest rate and the money supply. One the other hand, the results of the second model estimation shows that the exchange rate and inflation has positive and significant impact on the flow of foreign direct investment. Inflation rate does not alter the terms of the investor’s decision in investing in Indonesia, because it was followed by the improvement in economic conditions in Indonesia.<br />Keywords: Capital Flows, Exchange Rate, Inflation, Simultaneous Equation</p>

The purpose of this research to analyze the long-term effects and short-term shocks of internal factors (inflation, economic growth, Indonesian interest rates) and external factors (economic openness, foreign interest rates, exchange rates) to foreign direct investment in Indonesia. The effects and impacts of these shocks will form the basis for decision-making and policy-setting in achieving optimal economic growth. This study uses the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Error Correction Model (ECM) method to see the long-term and short-term effects of internal and external factors on foreign direct investment in Indonesia. The data used time series data from fisrt quarterly in 2000 to fourth quarterly in 2016. In more detail, ECM used to analyze short-term shocks. The results show that in the short term the internal factor of inflation caused shocks to foreign direct investment and in the long run, the variable of inflation and economic growth have a significant effect on foreign direct investment. External factors such as: economic openness, foreign interest rate and exchange rate in the short run cause shocks to foreign direct investment, and in the long term the openness of economy and exchange rate have a significant influence.

The current study endeavors to explore the effects of oscillations in the exchange rate on the household aggregate consumption of developed, emerging, and developing economies, employing the panel data from 1995 to 2017. To select an appropriate panel data estimation technique, we apply Brush-Pagan & Hausman Tests for each set of chosen economies. Further, our study deduces that, in the case of developed economies, the oscillations in the exchange rate, significantly, affect the domestic consumption, supporting Alexander’s (1952) conjecture. However, in the case of emerging and developing economies, aggregate consumption does not respond to the exchange rate volatility.
