Impact of FDI on GDP: A Comparative Study of China and India (2011, methodology): “After analyzing the data from 11 countries in East Asia and Latin America, using econometric techniques such as unit root and cointegration tests, Zhang (2001) provides evidence that FDI promotes economic growth in countries with a liberalized trade regime, and a workforce with higher job skills…”
The contribution of foreign direct investment to clean energy use, carbon emissions and economic growth (2013, background): “Some studies indicate that the direction of causality between economic growth and FDI is subject to country-specific factors (Zhang, 2001).”
Human Development and Foreign Direct Investment in Developing Countries: The Influence of FDI Policy and Corruption (2010, background): “Even with regard to the relationship between FDI and economic growth (Balasubramanyam, Salisu, & Sapsford, 1996; Borensztein et al., 1998; Carkovic & Levine, 2005; JBIC, 2002; World Bank, 2002; Zhang, 2001), one that, some argue, should be the most unambiguous, the results are mixed.”

Does Foreign Direct Investment Generate Economic Growth? A New Empirical Approach Applied to Spain (2018, background): “Zhang (2001) argues that country-specific conditions throw doubt on the hypothesis that FDI leads to higher growth.”
Institutional differences and the development of entrepreneurial ventures: A comparison of the venture capital industries in Latin America and Asia (2009, background): “For example, Latin America has experienced much large-scale, discontinuous change: the movements for change took on different importance depending on the political environment in a given country at a point in time (Zhang, 2001).”
Another Look At The Determinants Of Foreign Direct Investment In Mena Countries: An Empirical Investigation (2010, result): “This could partially explain the scarcity of studies dealing with FDI inflows directed to MENA region, as compared with Asia and Latin America (see for example studies by Choi, 1995; Poon, and Thompson, 1998; and Zhang, 2001).”
In search of FDI-led growth in developing countries (2008, methodology): “To answer these questions we rely on the standard time series and panel cointegration literature on FDI and growth and use a bivariate model (see, e.g., Zhang, 2001; Basu et al., 2003; Hansen and Rand, 2006; Chowdhury and Mavrotas, 2006).”
