Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

Does Foreign Direct Investment Accelerate Economic Growth? ArXiv ID: ssrn-314924 “View on arXiv” Authors: Unknown Abstract This paper uses new statistical techniques and two new databases to reassess the relationship between economic growth and FDI. After resolving biases plaguing Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Economic Growth, Panel Data, Causality, Alternative Investments Complexity vs Empirical Score Math Complexity: 4.5/10 Empirical Rigor: 6.0/10 Quadrant: Street Traders Why: The paper employs advanced econometric techniques like GMM panel estimators (Arellano-Bover/Blundell-Bond) but is limited to theoretical and econometric analysis without code, backtests, or proprietary datasets. It relies on publicly available macroeconomic data and focuses on causal inference methodology, making it empirically rigorous for academic policy research but not directly backtest-ready for trading. flowchart TD A["Research Goal Does FDI accelerate economic growth?"] --> B{"Data & Methodology"} B --> C["Panel Data 1970-2010"] B --> D["Method: Alternative Investments & Endogenous Growth Models"] C --> E{"Computational Process"} D --> E E --> F["Statistical Analysis Causality Testing & Bias Resolution"] F --> G["Findings"] G --> H["FDI Impact: Mixed Results"] G --> I["Key Outcome: Context-dependent relationship"]

Some New Evidence on Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Developing Countries ArXiv ID: ssrn-623885 “View on arXiv” Authors: Unknown Abstract An export orientation is the strongest variable explaining why a country attracts foreign direct investment. Singh and Jun expand on earlier studies of the d Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Export Orientation, Emerging Markets, Macroeconomics, Macroeconomic Complexity vs Empirical Score Math Complexity: 2.0/10 Empirical Rigor: 3.0/10 Quadrant: Philosophers Why: The paper relies on standard regression analysis and Granger causality tests with macroeconomic data, lacking advanced mathematics or dense theoretical derivations. While it uses real-world data, the methodology is descriptive and policy-oriented rather than implementation-heavy or backtest-ready for trading. flowchart TD A["Research Goal: Determinants of FDI in Developing Countries"] --> B["Data Collection: Panel Data: 31 Developing Countries 1970-1990"] B --> C["Methodology: Fixed Effects Panel Regression"] C --> D["Computational Process: Estimate Impact of Macro Variables Export Orientation vs. Market Size"] D --> E{"Key Findings"} E --> F["Export Orientation Strongest FDI Driver"] E --> G["Market Size Significant but Secondary"] E --> H["Inflation/Government Mixed/Insignificant Impact"]
