Project Abstract

Abstract
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been recognized as a critical driver of economic growth in developing countries, attracting significant attention from policymakers, researchers, and investors alike. This research study aims to investigate the impact of FDI on economic growth in developing countries, focusing on the diverse mechanisms through which FDI can influence economic development. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of macroeconomic data with qualitative insights from case studies of selected developing countries. The research will begin with a comprehensive review of the existing literature on FDI and economic growth, highlighting key theoretical frameworks and empirical findings. This literature review will provide a foundation for the subsequent empirical analysis, identifying gaps in the current research that this study seeks to address. The methodology section will outline the research design, data sources, and analytical techniques used in this study. Quantitative analysis will involve regression analysis to examine the relationship between FDI inflows and economic growth indicators such as GDP growth, employment creation, and productivity enhancements. Qualitative case studies will complement the quantitative analysis by providing in-depth insights into the specific channels through which FDI impacts economic growth in developing countries. The discussion of findings will present the empirical results of the analysis, highlighting the significance of FDI in driving economic growth in developing countries. The study will explore the differential impacts of FDI across sectors, regions, and types of investment, shedding light on the complex dynamics of FDI-led growth in diverse developing country contexts. Finally, the conclusion will summarize the key findings of the study, drawing implications for policymakers, investors, and future research. The research will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the role of FDI in economic development, offering insights into the opportunities and challenges that developing countries face in attracting and leveraging foreign investment for sustainable growth. Overall, this study will provide a nuanced understanding of the impact of FDI on economic growth in developing countries, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to harness the potential of foreign investment for inclusive and sustainable development.
