• The determinants of liberalization of FDI policy in developing countries: a cross-sectional analysis, 1992-2001 (2004, background): “As a result, the late 1980s and early 1990s were characterized by a “de facto convergence” of government policy approaches towards FDI (Noorbakhsh, Paloni, and Youssef, 2001).”
• Do Institutions Matter for Foreign Direct Investment? (2010, methodology): “Thus, using an index that captures only one aspect of 1 For example, Noorbakhsh et al (2001) use 36 developing countries, June and Singh (1996) use 31 countries, and Harms and Ursprung (2002) use 62 countries. institutions as a proxy for overall institutional quality is likely to underestimate the…”
• The New Global Determinants of FDI Flows to Developing Countries (2003, background): “2 These new global forces must be seen alongside the longstanding determinants of FDI flows to developing countries: their natural-resource endowments, geographical characteristics (country location in particular), human capital, infrastructure, and institutions, factors emphasized in the existing l”
• Does Foreign Direct Investment Generate Economic Growth? A New Empirical Approach Applied to Spain (2018, background): “3 It is also said FDI might improve transport/communication infrastructure of the host country and raise the level of human capital (Noorbakhsh and Paloni 2001).”
• Economic Freedom and Foreign Direct Investment in East Asia (2007, background): “…Edwards (1990), Hanson (1996), Jaspersen et al. (2000), Loree & Guisinger (1995), and Schneider & Frey (1985); human capital has been added following Hanson (1996) and Noorbakhsh et al. (2001); and quality of infrastructure has been added following Asiedu (2002), and Loree & Guisinger (1995).”
• FDI spillovers, absorptive capacities and human capital development: evidence from Argentina (2003, background): “It is important to stress that while human capital represents a core location advantage and a primary determinant of FDI (most recently confirmed by Noorbaksh et al 2001), not all of FDI is associated with the presence of a skilled work force.”
• Working Paper 136 - Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment Inflows to Africa, 1980-2007 (2011, background): “Noorbakhsh et al. (2001) and Miyamoto (2008) have shown the positive effect of human capital generally on FDI inflows while Tarzi (2005) and Baeka and Okawa (2001) cite workers‟ productivity and Khair-UZZaman et al. (2006) and Jeon and Rhee (2008) cite labor cost.”
• Institutions and inflows of foreign direct investment: a fuzzy-set analysis (2008, result): “Thus these findings provide an explanation for why earlier research, as a whole, has not found a consistent relation between political rights and FDI (e.g., Disdier & Mayer, 2004; Noorbakhsh et al., 2001).”
