Working Paper 136 - Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment Inflows to Africa, 1980-2007 (2011, methodology): “Asiedu (2006), using a panel data for 22 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) over the period 1984–2000, find that countries that are endowed with natural resources or have large markets attract more FDI.”
What Drives Foreign Direct Investments into West Africa? An Empirical Investigation (2015, background): “Asiedu (2004) finds that the impact of capital controls on FDI inflows varies by region and has changed over time: in the 1970s and 1980s, none of the policies had a significant impact on FDI inflows but in the 1990s, all three were significant.”
Determinants of FDI in developed and developing countries: a quantitative analysis using GMM (2018, background): “Political factors include political stability, government effectiveness, regulatory quality and level of corruption (Asiedu and Lien, 2004; Mina, 2009; Qian et al., 2010).”
New Estimates of Capital Flight from Sub-Saharan African Countries: Linkages with External Borrowing and Policy Options (2008, background): “…inflows and that need to be addressed in order to improve Africa’s locational advantage in the eyes of investors: openness to investment, the availability and efficiency of the economic infrastructure, and the quality of institutions (see Asiedu 2004a, 2004b; Asiedu and Lien 2003; Morisset 2000).”
FDI promotion through bilateral investment treaties: more than a bit? (2010, background): “Asiedu and Lien (2004) refer to the same source, but consider three types of controls (multiple exchange rates, controls on capital account transactions, and controls with regard to export proceeds) for a broader panel of 96 developing countries in 1970-2000.”
The FDI location decision: does liberalization matter? (2007, result): “Asiedu and Lien (2004) provide a review and report that older studies had mixed results, but that more recent studies seem to suggest an inverse relationship between capital controls and FDI.”
FDI and Economic Growth: Evidence from Nigeria (2007, background): “However, the level of FDI attracted by Nigeria is mediocre (Asiedu, 2003) compared with the resource base and potential need.”
