Project Abstract

Abstract
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has long been recognized as a significant driver of economic growth in developing countries. This research project aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the impact of FDI on economic growth in developing countries, focusing on key indicators and factors that influence this relationship. The study seeks to provide valuable insights into the mechanisms through which FDI affects economic growth and the specific conditions under which this impact is maximized. The research will begin with a thorough review of existing literature on FDI and economic growth, examining various theoretical frameworks and empirical studies to establish a solid foundation for the study. Through this literature review, the project will identify key variables and hypotheses that will guide the empirical analysis. The empirical analysis will utilize a combination of quantitative methods, including econometric modeling and statistical analysis, to investigate the relationship between FDI and economic growth in developing countries. The study will draw on a comprehensive dataset of FDI inflows and economic indicators from a sample of developing countries to conduct a rigorous empirical analysis. The research methodology will involve the development of econometric models that capture the complex interactions between FDI inflows, economic growth, and other relevant variables such as human capital, infrastructure development, and institutional quality. The empirical analysis will also explore potential non-linear relationships and threshold effects that may exist in the FDI-economic growth nexus. The findings of this research project are expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the impact of FDI on economic growth in developing countries. The results will provide policymakers, investors, and other stakeholders with valuable insights into the conditions under which FDI can be most effective in promoting sustainable economic growth. By identifying key determinants and mechanisms of the FDI-economic growth relationship, this study aims to inform evidence-based policy decisions and investment strategies in developing countries. Overall, this research project seeks to advance our understanding of the role of FDI in driving economic growth in developing countries and to provide practical recommendations for maximizing the positive impact of FDI on sustainable development. Through a rigorous empirical analysis and a comprehensive review of existing literature, this study aims to shed light on the complex dynamics of the FDI-economic growth nexus and to offer valuable insights for future research and policy formulation.
