This document summarizes a journal article that examines the causal relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and exports in India from 1980 to 2010. Using cointegration and Granger causality tests, the study finds a long-run equilibrium relationship between FDI and exports but that causality runs from exports to FDI inflows rather than the other way around. In the short-run, neither exports nor FDI inflows Granger cause the other. The document provides background on theories regarding the relationship between FDI and exports and reviews mixed findings from other empirical studies on the topic.
Entrepreneurship as a determinant of fdi in case of georgiaAzer Dilanchiev

equal approach to local and foreign investors makes country as an attractive destination for FDI. The paper focuses on relation
between entrepreneurship and FDI in case of Georgia, to find out the role that entrepreneurship takes as a determinant of FDI.
The paper empirically proves that in order to attract FDI, development of entrepreneship is vital.
Foreign Direct Investment (Influx) from different nations and its impact on E...IJSRP Journal
In these research paper researchers examines emerging economic as well as implications on overall economic development and growth of Indian economic globalization. The paper focuses on the main motives of the Influx Foreign Direct Investment (IFDI) by the MNEs and its economic implications on the Indian economy. The originality of the study lies in its analysis of the overall investment pattern of MNEs companies and the nature of their global operations in a view to invest in India. Furthermore researchers explore the contribution of Service Sector that is one of highly demanded sectors towards economic development and growth of India through FDI in the current economic scenario in India.
This document summarizes a study on foreign direct investment (FDI) in India. It examines the present status and future forecast of FDI in India through 2026. The study uses statistical analysis methods like regression analysis and trend analysis to determine the relationship between FDI equity inflows and total FDI inflows to India. It finds that FDI equity inflows significantly impact total FDI inflows. It also provides an overview of FDI in India by sector and by country source. The services sector, including financial and non-financial services, has attracted the most FDI on average over the past decade. The study aims to present both the current situation and future outlook for FDI in India.
The Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment: A study based on country-level...Yi Zhang
This document is a master's thesis that examines the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) using country-level panel data. It begins with an introduction that notes the rapid growth of FDI in recent decades and outlines the research questions. A literature review then discusses previous research on potential factors that influence FDI. The paper will use regression analysis to investigate the effects of various economic, institutional and policy variables on FDI inflows. It will also include regional dummy variables to analyze differences in FDI patterns across geographic regions. The results aim to identify which factors cause variation in FDI levels among countries and how these factors impact FDI.
This document discusses several theories of foreign direct investment (FDI). It begins by outlining Vernon's production cycle theory from 1966, which sought to explain US investment in Western Europe after WWII. It also discusses theories related to exchange rates on imperfect capital markets and internalization theory. However, the document notes that no single theory can fully explain FDI. It spends most time discussing Dunning's eclectic paradigm/OLI framework from the 1970s, which integrates theories of ownership advantages, location advantages, and internalization to explain why some companies engage in FDI over other options. In conclusion, the document states that while many theories have been proposed, none provide a unified explanation for FDI and its causes.
This study aims to analyze the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on new job creation, and pays attention to factors interrelated to employment by using the case of Afghanistan. Using time series data form 2003 to 2017, this paper explore the driving forces and reduction potentials of employment in Afghanistan with consideration for dynamic changes within the traditional OLS and standardize OLS model. The results show that exchange rate plays a dominant role in increasing employment in Afghanistan. And exports and inflation rate plays a dominant role in decreasing employment in Afghanistan. All variables are co-integrated and the analysis of the impulse response function and variance decomposition turns out to be synchronous. Furthermore, in the short run export and inflation rate are more critical in reduction potentials of employment in Afghanistan. Policies should be advised to control inflation rate and illegal export and improve the investment projects to attract more FDI into the economy for quick adjustment purpose in case of the shock to the system.
Obstacles Encountered by Foreign Investors in Kosovonakije.kida
Abstract: The purpose of the paper is finding obstacles that led to the reduction of foreign ivestitors’ motive to
come to Kosovo. Through the survey was taken the opinion of the sample from 306 current investors with 100%
foreign capital operating in Kosovo. Descriptive analysis has depicted the main obstacles in their business
activity. Weak enforcement of law, corruption, failure to integrate into the EU, poor infrastructure, lack of
financial incentives, poor business climate, highlighted poverty, frequent legal changes are part of these
obstacles. However, Kosovo has the youngest workforce in Europe, well educated and who speak more than one
language. Multiple natural properties make it attractive, toond. The main conclusion that can be drawn from the
above findings is that Kosovo has not become fully available to all mechanisms to welcome the foreign investors.
It is suggested that the government comes up with concrete projects to stimulate investors and create the
necessary climate to develop their business.

Foreign direct investment can have both positive and negative impacts on the labor markets of developing economies. Positively, FDI increases competition which leads domestic companies to increase productivity and offer higher wages to attract skilled workers. This growth in productivity can also lead to more job creation. However, FDI can also increase wage inequality as foreign firms hire more skilled workers and pay them higher wages than domestic firms can offer. Over time, this can worsen gaps in wages and skills between employees in foreign and domestic companies. For developing economies to fully realize the benefits of FDI, governments need policies that encourage skills and capability development among domestic firms.

Foreign Direct Investment and Foreign Aid as Factors of GrowthNicolas Vander Meer
This document provides a literature review on foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign aid as factors of economic growth. The key points are:
1) Recent research shows that FDI can positively impact growth through productivity spillovers from technology and knowledge transfers, as well as supply chain linkages, which can create feedback loops that attract more FDI. However, the size of these effects is difficult to measure.
2) While older studies found no effect of foreign aid on growth, more recent work shows aid can boost growth when paired with good economic policies in recipient countries. However, aid is often misallocated and could reduce poverty even more if distributed efficiently.
3) The relationships between FDI, aid
This document analyzes foreign direct investment (FDI) in India. It begins with definitions of FDI and discusses India's changing approach to foreign investment over time. The document then outlines the study's objectives, hypotheses, methodology, and analytical tools. The objectives are to analyze trends, determinants, and impacts of FDI in India. The hypotheses are that FDI flows have increased over 2007-2011 and FDI positively impacts economic growth. Secondary data is used and statistical tools like trend and growth rate analysis are employed. A review of relevant literature on FDI determinants and impacts is also provided. In conclusion, the study aims to provide an understanding of FDI inflows to India from 2007-2011.
This document analyzes the effect of trade liberalization on employment in Tanzania's textile industry through econometric modeling. It reviews literature on the theoretical linkages between trade reforms and labor markets. The study develops models of employment and wages as a function of variables like output, import penetration, export intensity, and technology. It finds that import competition had a larger negative impact on employment than export orientation. Wages also declined with import penetration but were less affected by other factors. The results suggest Tanzania's trade reforms hurt the textile industry's labor market and that a more gradual liberalization coupled with institutional support could have made the reforms more effective.
This document discusses foreign direct investment (FDI) in India, specifically regarding the retail sector.

During the last decade the growth in the private
equity industry in India has been phenomenal, especially in
the recent five years. Private equity industry has become the
prime interest area for many researchers and academicians in
India. Private equity industry in India is burgeoning area of
research, which inherits many explorations and untapped
potential areas of research. One such untapped area of
research is the empirical research is relationship between
Private equity investments and exits in India. The research
question which has leaded the study is that Private equity
industry being in its transition stage, does the performance
and opportunities created by the early starters has proven the
potential and invites more investors and investments? In this
line, this study is an attempt to assess the interrelationship and
causal effect in the relationship using VECM (Vector Error
Correction Model) and Granger causality model. The results
of the study confer that existence of long run causal relation
between Private Equity Investments and Private Equity Exits.
Thereby, the study emphasis the impact of private equity exits
on private equity investments in India. Private Equity Exit
opportunities for the investments made plays crucial role in
attracting Private Equity investments in India.

Abstract: Purpose of the study is descriptive analysis of questionnaires investment of Kosovo. The main
findings of important contributions to the literature on the effects of FDI on economic growth are highlighted. In
the short and longterm, FDI do not cause an increase in Kosovo. On the other hand, FDI have been directed to
the services sector (with low added value). This proves that the aggregate effect of increasing investments is
unclear because different institutional components (business climate, weak enforcement of law, corruption, etc.),
have hindered the attraction of FDI. Identifying determinants of FDI, are important for compiling of FDI
promotion policy of certain types to contribute to the growth.

Wage Structure Effects of International Trade: Evidence from a Small Open Eco...trang89
This paper examines the impact of international trade on wage dispersion in Belgium. Using matched employer-employee data and industry panel data, it analyzes the effects of changes in exports and imports on wage differentials between industries. The results show that exports have a positive effect on industry wage premia, while rising import penetration reduces wage premia. Additionally, imports from low-income countries have a more detrimental impact on wages than imports from high-income countries. This paper contributes to the limited literature on how trade openness influences inter-industry wage differentials in developed countries.

This document summarizes a study that assessed the impact of openness, foreign direct investment, and gross capital formation on economic growth in Kenya from 1960 to 2010. A multiple linear regression model was used to analyze data from the World Bank. The findings showed that trade openness had a positive and significant impact on GDP growth. However, foreign direct investment and gross capital formation did not have a significant effect on GDP growth. The study recommends that policymakers in Kenya emphasize increasing trade openness to promote economic growth.
The Ukrainian economy and labor market underwent significant changes in 2014 following the political unrest. Employment decreased in eastern regions affected by conflicts, while central and western regions saw an influx of internal migrants seeking work. Recruitment demands fell across most sectors as salaries dropped and companies prioritized retaining existing employees. However, some skills remained in high demand including IT, sales, and agriculture. The human resources industry also adjusted as many HR professionals entered the job market while salaries decreased. Companies focused HR efforts on maintaining morale and engagement among existing workers. Overall, Ukrainians demonstrated resilience and community support during the difficult period.
The document discusses the history and evolution of outsourcing in the US economy over time. It begins by looking at the initial stages of outsourcing after the industrial revolution, where companies outsourced non-core functions domestically. It then explores how outsourcing expanded to include sending functions overseas to lower-cost countries. The document examines debates around outsourcing's impact on US jobs and discusses how countries like India have benefited from the growth of their outsourcing industries. Finally, it briefly touches on arguments that outsourcing provides advantages to countries by allowing them to compete globally through access to cheaper labor.
This document analyzes empirical evidence for determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Pakistan. It uses data from 1980 to 2011 to estimate the impact of real GDP, taxes, tariffs, exchange rates, terrorism, and governance on FDI inflows. The results show both short-run and long-run elasticities of these factors and suggest separate policy approaches. Terrorism and poor governance were found to have a significant negative impact on FDI and require immediate solutions to avoid economic issues related to FDI inflows.

A Literature Review On The Relationship Between Foreign Direct Investment And...Audrey Britton
This document provides a literature review on the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth. It discusses that while theories and studies have conflicting views on whether FDI boosts or hinders economic growth, most research finds that FDI can stimulate growth through technology transfers, productivity gains, and increasing capital stock and employment. However, some argue FDI may "crowd out" domestic investment or lead to external vulnerability. The document reviews several empirical studies that have found positive correlations between FDI and economic growth, technology diffusion, and domestic investment. Overall, it examines the complex debate around FDI's impact on host country economies.
This document discusses the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on entrepreneurship in India. It provides an introduction to FDI and outlines its current scenario in India. The document then discusses how FDI can both encourage and discourage the entry of domestic firms through demand creation and entry barriers. It also examines the relationship between FDI, economic growth, and opportunities/challenges for various sectors in India. The conclusion states that FDI is an important part of India's economic development when paired with improvements to infrastructure, human resources, and local entrepreneurship.

- The document analyzes the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and gross domestic product (GDP) in India from 1990 to 2012.
- It finds a strong positive correlation (r=0.859) between FDI inflows and GDP over the period studied, indicating FDI causes growth of India's GDP to a large extent.
- The study also aims to determine the impact of FDI on per capita GDP in India and finds a strong positive correlation, supporting the hypothesis that there is a relationship between FDI inflows and increases in per capita GDP.
- In conclusion, the study recommends improving India's investment climate to strengthen its position in the globalized economy by enhancing competitiveness
Does Macroeconomic factors Impact on Foreign Direct Investment in emerging ec...AI Publications
Foreign direct investment is essential for economic growth of a country. It acts as a promoter for the economic development of a country. Keeping this in mind, the objective of this study is to determine the effect of macroeconomic variables such as interest rate, real exchange rate,inflation rate and stock market on foreign direct investment in Pakistan. For this purpose,study used the authentic annual data for the period of 27 years i.e. from 1990-2016. We are use for analysis E-View software, The empirical analysis involved using the ADF test to check the stationary of the data.Results revealed that interest rate and exchange rate have significant negative effect on FDI and stock market index has negative and unsignificant effect on FDI while inflation rate has positive and significant effect on FDI.

Impact of fdi and joint venture on employment generationAlexander Decker
This document analyzes the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and joint ventures on employment generation in Bangladesh. It finds that FDI inflows into Bangladesh occurred randomly, while joint venture inflows followed a trend. Regression analysis showed that FDI inflows did not significantly explain changes in Bangladesh's employment levels over the past decade. However, joint ventures were found to have a statistically significant positive impact on employment generation in Bangladesh.
This document discusses foreign direct investment (FDI) in India, particularly in the retail sector. It provides an overview of the history of FDI policy in India and reviews economic literature on the impacts of FDI. While FDI can potentially bring benefits like capital, technology, and efficiency, studies have found mixed results on its actual impacts. Some studies have found FDI has negatively impacted growth in developing countries by crowding out local firms or draining capital through profit repatriation. Overall, the literature suggests FDI's effects depend on factors like the sector and whether a country achieves a minimum threshold of human capital. Studies on India have also found limited positive impacts of FDI on growth, exports, and productivity

FDI can positively impact economic growth in developing countries. The paper analyzes data on FDI flows from industrial countries to 69 developing countries over the past two decades. The results suggest that FDI contributes more to growth than domestic investment. However, this is only true when the host country has a sufficient level of human capital to absorb and utilize the advanced technologies transferred by FDI. FDI facilitates technology diffusion but only boosts growth when the host country has the capability to adopt the new technologies.

Abstract
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is considered as an important means of promoting export of the host countries.
By training the local work force and upgrading the technical and managerial skills, it helps in raising the
efficiency and productivity of the factors and hence competitive strength in the international market. In addition
to this, by facilitating access to large international market, FDI makes a significant positive contribution to the
host country’s exports. However this is true if FDI comes for efficiency reason and not for domestic market. The
present study examines the nature of relationship between export and FDI in India over the period 1980-2010.
Using Johansen co-integration method, the paper finds a stable long run equilibrium relationship between FDI
and export growth. The result of Granger causality based on vector error correction model (VECM) shows that
causality runs from export to FDI inflow direction and not from FDI inflow to export direction. In the short run,
however, neither export Granger cause FDI inflow nor FDI inflow Granger cause export from India.
Key words: Foreign Direct Investment, Export, cointegration, causality.
JEL Code: F21, F23.
1. Introduction
It has long been argued that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays an important role in promoting export and
economic growth of an economy. It is argued that FDI promotes exports of the host countries by increasing the
productivity and productive capacity of the host country by increasing capital stock, transfer of technology,
managerial skills and upgrading the skills of the local workforce through training. Further, FDI also increases the
opportunity for the host countries to export by facilitating access to the new and large foreign markets. However,
the role of FDI in promoting export is a controversial topic and basically depends upon the motive for such
investment. If the motive for FDI is to bypass the trade barriers (high tariff) of the host countries, to gain access
to large overseas market and to reap the benefits of economies of scale, this may not promote export. Such kind
of market seeking investment is called horizontal FDI. However, if the motive for FDI is to reap the benefits of
host country’s comparative advantage so as to produce at relatively low cost, such investments are likely to
promote trade and hence complement trade. Such FDI is called export oriented or vertical FDI.
India has also witnessed growth of FDI inflow since the eighties and particularly since the nineties with the
liberalization of the economy. This period has also witnessed rapid growth of exports. However, despite these,
there has not been much study on the relationship between FDI, export and economic growth. Kishor Sharma
(2000) study covers only few years of the reform period i.e. up to 1997. In order to fill this gap, the present paper
tries to examine the relationship between FDI inflow and exports.
The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 briefly presents the role of FDI in promoting exports. Section 3
gives a brief review of literature related to the subject. This is followed by econometric methodology used to
examine the relationship between these variables. Section 4 discusses the empirical results. Concluding remarks
are given in section 5.
2. The Role of FDI in Promoting Exports
FDI plays an important role in promoting exports of host countries. It promotes exports by facilitating the host
countries access to customers in global, regional and home-country markets. In addition, host countries

sometimes also get benefits of lobbying activities of the MNCs in their home countries for favorable treatment of
exports from their affiliates abroad as happened in case of US, China etc.
FDI also helps in improving productivity of labour force by providing training to the local workforce and
upgrading technical and managerial skills. These activities benefit the country’s exports through improvement in
productivity of the labor force. This is especially true for export-oriented investments in advanced technological
capabilities.
FDI has both direct and indirect effect on host country’s exports. The direct effects refer to exports by foreign
affiliates themselves. The indirect effect includes spillover effect of MNCs on local firms’ export activities
(UNCTAD, 2002).
The export of a country is directly affected by FI in following ways:
(a) Exports through processing and assembling: Many of the developing countries increase its exports of labour
intensive and technology intensive products by assembling and processing of intermediate and unfinished
products imported from home country. For example, China became a dominant exporter of labor intensive
products (toys, shoes, clothes, and sporting goods) and some technology-intensive products (machinery and
equipments, including electronic circuits, automatic data-processing machines, and mobile phones) (UNCTAD,
2002). Generally, these exports are organized by MNCs within vertically integrated international production
network (Zhang and Markusen, 1999).
(b) Exports through converting import-substituting industries: In many of the import substituting products like
home appliances and automobiles products, FDI combines its advanced technology with the available cheap
labour of the developing countries and produces and exports the products at internationally competitive prices.
(c) Exports of new labor-intensive final products: By providing links to final buyers in different countries
including the home country, FDI helps in increasing exports of labour and technology intensive final products of
the host countries (Zhang,2005).
(d) Exports of locally processed raw materials: Because of the business contacts abroad, marketing skills, and
superior technology, both in product and in processes, and greater general know-how, MNCs may have better
export potential than indigenous firms in the processing of locally produced raw materials and exporting the
same. This is especially true in the early stage of development when the country lacked the assets. (Zhang, 2005)
FDI also enhances the developing countries (host country’s) manufacturing exports through spillover effects on
local firms’ exporting activities. (Zhang (2005)
(a) Learning and imitating of domestic firms from foreign firms: Local firms benefit themselves by watching,
learning and imitating the export activities of the foreign affiliates and by making use of the infrastructure of
transport, communications and financial activities.
(b) Instilling competition and efficiency: The second spillover effect involves the influence of FDI on the
competitiveness of domestic firm’s exports and the diffusion of new technologies. By bringing their advanced
product-process technology, management, and marketing competence, MNCs may increase competition in the
markets and force local firms to adopt more efficient methods.
(c) Linkage between foreign and local firms: The third spillovers are related to the linkage between foreign and
local firms. If export-oriented foreign subsidiaries increase their purchase of inputs from local firms as the
subsidiary matures, the exports of the country increases (UNCTAD, 2001 and 2002).
3. Review of Literature
The relationship between FDI and exports has been examined by the theories of international trade and FDI. Two
divergent views have come up to establish the relationship between FDI and international trade. One regards FDI
and exports as substitutes of each other; and the other treats the two as complements. R. Mundell (1957) on the
base of H-O-S (Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson) model (two countries, two products and two factors) model
demonstrated that the difference in comparative advantage is the basis of trade. In the absence of factor mobility,
trade between two countries takes place to a level at which factor price tends to equalize in both countries, in
absolute as well as in relative terms. However, once capital is allowed to move freely across the countries, i.e.,
from the abundant to a country where it is scarce, the difference in factor prices are reduced, the difference in
comparative cost will diminish and eventually will vanish. Hence trade will decline and will be substituted
completely by FDI. This view assumes that FDI comes only in those sectors in which the host country has
comparative disadvantage. Such FDIs come only to supply domestic market of host countries and hence plays no
role in increasing exports. So FDI replace imports with domestic production.

The conclusion that both trade in goods and factors work as substitutes is derived from the H-O factor
endowment theory based on allocative efficiency in a static framework characterized with perfectly competitive
markets, identical constant returns to scale production function and in the absence of transportation cost.
However, the generality of this proposition has been questioned in an imperfectly competitive international
market, based on economies of scale, imperfect competition, and differences in technological changes that
explains the possibility of intra-industry trade (Grossman and Helpman, 1991; Krugman, 1979) and is
compatible to explain vertical FDI (intra-firm transfers).
An important theory that establishes a complementary relationship between FDI and trade is Flying Geese model,
a term, which was for the first time coined by Akamatsu in the 1930s and introduced into academia in the early
1960s. According to his model, in order to reduce the cost of production and retain its competitiveness, the
MNEs shift its location of production from high labour cost home country to low labour cost host country.
Using the host country’s abundant factor, the MNEs increase the export supply capacity of the host country.
Furthermore, the transfer of FDI also brings with them new technology, capital equipments, and managerial
expertise into the host countries and improve the productivity and competitiveness of the indigenous firms
thereby increase in competitiveness and exports of the host countries.
Vernon (1966) in its Product Life Cycle (PLC) theory also explained a positive role of FDI in promoting exports
from host countries. He argued that technology passes through four stages of production. Theses stages are
innovation, growth, maturity and decline. In the third stage of maturity, innovating firms, in order to reduce cost
and protect themselves from imitating competitors, start production in foreign countries and export a part of
production to home country. In the last phase, product and technology becomes mature and standardized, and
becomes accessible to local imitators that thanks to the low labour cost become international competitors. This
leads to increase in export of the host countries. In this case flow of trade may be reversed. The original
innovating may relocate production further into host countries and reimport the product to the home country.
Applying Vernon model at industry level, Kojima (1973, 1985) found when FDI is made in the sector in which
the country of origin has comparative disadvantage and the host country has comparative advantage, then this
kind of investment has trade creating effect implying that the host country’s export will increase.
According to New Trade Theory, the separation of different stages of production in different countries (vertical
FDI) would most likely to cause trade creation effect. Helpman (1984) and Helpman and Krugman (1985),
assuming no transaction cost, argues if choice of location of production facilities is based on relative factor
prices and resource endowments, then, vertical FDI would cause trade creation effect in the form of export of
finished product from affiliate company to parent company and intra firm transfer of intangible services from
parent company to affiliate company. Brainard (1993), on the ground of proximity advantage, also postulated a
positive relationship between FDI and trade.
Just as the there are differences of opinion about the relationship between the FDI inflow and amount of exports,
the empirical studies also provide mixed results for different countries.
Khan and Leng (1997) while examining the interactions among inward – FDI, exports and economic growth for
Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea, did not find any evidence of causal relation between FDI and export in the
case of Taiwan and South Korea. In the case of Singapore, a one – way causal relationship from exports to
inward FDI was found.
Liu et al (2002) investigated the causal relationship between inward FDI, trade and economic growth in China
using quarterly data at aggregate level for the period 1981 to 1997 and found two – way causal relationship
between inward FDI and exports. Similar result was also found by Baliamoune – Lutz (2004) for Morocco for
the period 1973 to 1999.
Soliman, M. (2003) examined the role of FDI in export promotion of four MENA countries (Egypt, Tunisia,
Morocco and Turkey) for the period of 1970-1995. Applying gravity model, he found a positive relationship
between FDI inflow and export; however, an insignificant relationship has been found in the case FDI and share
of manufacturing export in total merchandise exports.
Metwally (2004) tests the relationship between FDI, exports and economic growth in three countries, viz., Egypt,
Jordan and Omen, during the period from 1981 to 2000 by using a simultaneous equation model. The result
suggests that the export of goods and services is strongly influenced by the inward FDI in these three countries.
K.H. Zhang (2005) on the basis of cross section studies of 186 industries concluded a positive relationship
between FDI and export growth in China and this effect is larger in labour intensive industries than that in capital
intensive industries. Further, he also found that the FDI has more export promoting effect than that of domestic
capital.

Pacheco – Lopez (2005) demonstrated the causal relationship between inward FDI and Export performance on
Mexico by using the Granger causality test. The result indicates that there is a bi – directional causality between
inward FDI and export performance.
A.M.M. Abdel Rahman (2007) using causality test found that FDI does not Granger cause export growth in
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia but export growth Granger cause FDI growth. Alici and Ucal (2003) investigated the
causal links among inward FDI, exports and economic growth in Turkish economy during the period of 1987 to
2002 on a quarter bases. The linkage of FDI – led export growth is not found in Turkey.
A.M. Njong (2008) examined the association between FDI and export in the case of Cameroon. Using the data
for the period 1980-2003, he found positive impact of FDI on export through increase in supply capacity and
spillover effects.
Won et al (2008), using panel data Granger causality test for nine Asian newly industrialized countries, found bi
directional causality between inward FDI and export growth.
The empirical studies done so far in the case of India however do not show any significant impact of FDI in
promoting India’s exports. For example, Lall and Mohammad (1983) found that FDI inflows have not played
any significant role in promoting export from India. Similarly, firm level analysis of the determinants of exports
by Aggarwal (2001) found no significant contribution of FDI inflows as compared to the domestic counterpart
on export performance of high tech industries in India during the 1990s. Kishor Sharma (2000), applying
simultaneous equation model on annual data for the period 1970-1998, found no significant contribution of FDI
inflow on export performance of India. There are other studies (Pant 1993, Lall 1986, Kumar and Siddharthan
1994, Agarwal 1997, Kumar 1998) also that did not find any significant role played by FDI in India’s export
growth. All these studies show that FDIs in India are mainly market seeking and not export oriented in nature.
Most of these studies, however, cover only a short span of post reform era. Present study, therefore, tries to re
examine the role of FDI in promoting India’s export by covering a relatively longer period of post reform era.
4. Econometric Methodology
4.1. Model Specification and data sources
FDI, as said earlier, increases the supply capacity of the country through increase in the factor supply of the
country in the form of more amount of capital. Further, it also increases the competitiveness of the country’s
exports by increasing total factor productivity. However, the actual increase in exports would also depend upon
the intention of the investors and the allocation of FDI, whether to exploit the comparative advantage of the host
country or take the advantage of the host country’s local market. If the intention of the FDI is to benefit from
comparative advantage of the country, then we may expect a positive relationship between FDI and export of the
country. However, if the investment is made to bypass trade barriers and to exploit the large size of the market,
FDI may not lead to export growth. To examine the causal relationship between FDI and export growth in India,
the present study has selected bivariate model of following form;
Xt = f (FDIt) -------- (1)
In an explicit and econometric form, equation (1) can be stated as
2
Where,
Xt is Real export
FDIt is Foreign Direct Investment.
l is natural log of the variables concerned.
‘t’ refers to time period
The data used in the study is annual data for the period 1980 to 2010 sourced from the UNCTADSTAT 2011.
4.2. Estimation Technique
The study employs a three step procedure in order to examine the presence of cointegration and direction of
causality between export and Foreign Direct Investment. First, the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) tests
(Dickey and Fuller, 1979, 1981) and Phillips-Perron (PP) tests (Philips and Perron, 1988) have been used to
check whether each data series has a unit root in order to avoid spurious regression. The test of integration is
followed by cointegration test. In literature, the existence of long run equilibrium (stationary) relationship among

the economic variables is known as cointegration. To examine the existence of cointegration (long run
relationship) among the variables, Johansen approach (Johansen 1988; Johansen and Juselius 1990) to
co-integration has been applied. Lastly, the direction of causality between FDI inflow and export has been
examined. If there is at least one cointegration relationship among the variables of interest, there must be some
causal relationship among the variables (Maddala and Kim, 1998). According to Engle and Granger (1987), if
the variables are cointegrated, Granger causality test on the basis of multivariate vector error correction model
(VECM) will be more appropriate than the causality within the first difference VAR model. The VECM for
export and FDI can be formulated as
∆ ∆ ∆ 5
∆ ∆ ∆ 6
Where ∆ represents first difference operator, ECTt-1 is the one period lagged error correction term derived from
the long term cointegration equations and εit is residual term which is assumed to be normally distributed and
white noise. If the coefficient of error correction term is negative and significant we may infer that there is causal
relationship between the variables in the long run. The short run causality is determined on the basis of joint
F-test of the coefficient of the first differenced explanatory variables. Number of lag period to estimate the
VECM is selected on the basis of AIC criteria. The appropriateness of the model is examined on the basis of
various diagnostic tests.
5. Empirical Results
The result of ADF and PP test for unit root is shown in table-1a and 1b respectively. The result of both the tests
suggest that the absolute values of test statistics for both the variables on the level are smaller than that of the
critical values which implies that these variables on their levels are non-stationary. When the first differences of
these variables are considered, the test statistics exceed the critical values at 1%. Thus, we may conclude that all
the variables of the model are non stationary at level but stationary at first difference, i.e. they are integrated of
first order I (1).
Since both the variables are non stationary and are integrated of same order i.e. I(1), Johansen co-integration test
is conducted to examine the existence of long run equilibrium relationship among them. The result of
co-integration test is presented in table no. 3a and 3b.
The tables show two statistical results. First is based on trace statistics, and another is based on maximum Eigen
values. Based on Pantula principle, the researcher has selected the Intercept and no trend in CE and no trend in
VEC model. Since the Johansen test is based on Vector Auto Regressive model (VAR), selected one period lag
has been for the model on the basis of Akaike Information Criteria and Schwarz Baysian Criteria (table-2).
Starting with the null hypothesis of no co-integration among the variables, trace statistics is 16.50950 which is
above the 5 percent critical value of 15.49471 (shown in table 3a). Thus we reject the hypothesis of no
co-integration among these variables at 5 percent. Now considering the null hypothesis of at most one
co-integrating relation, trace statistics is 1.017567 which is less than 5 percent critical value of 3.841466. Thus
we accept the null hypothesis of at most one co-integrating equation at 5 percent significance level. We find
similar result from maximum Eigen statistics table (shown in table 3b). In this table we again find that maximum
Eigen value is more than the critical value for no co-integration and less than the critical value for at most one
cointegration. Hence we may conclude that the there is one co-integrating equation among these variables.
Thus, both trace and the maximum Eigen value statistics find that there is stable long run equilibrium
relationship of exports with foreign direct investment. Estimate of long run co-integrating vectors are given in
table-4. The result shows that the variables have positive and significant relationship with each other.
Granger causality result is shown in table-5. The table gives result for, both, short run and long run causal
relation between the variables. As the table shows, the coefficient of one period lagged error correction term
(ECTt-1) is negative but it is not significant when export is taken as dependent variable. This implies that FDI
does not Granger cause export in the long run in India. However, when FDI is taken as dependent variable,
coefficient of one period lagged error correction term (ECTt-1) is negative and statistically significant too. This
implies that growth in export does Granger cause inflow of FDI in the long run. Thus we find a unidirectional

causal relationship between FDI and export in India in the long run from export to FDI direction. In the short run,
however, we do not find any causal relation between the variables in either direction.
6. Conclusion
FDI has long been considered as an engine of economic growth of the host countries. One of the channels of
accelerating economic growth is through promoting exports. Because of its advantageous position in terms of
technology, managerial skills and access to international markets, FDI inflow may accelerate host country’s
exports. Since there is debate about the intention of FDI, whether market seeking or efficiency seeking, the paper
tries to examine the kind of relation found in the case of India using VECM technique of determining causality.
The study finds that there is one cointegration relation between the variables implying that FDI and export has
long run relationship. The VECM result shows that there is unidirectional causal relation from export to FDI
direction and not from FDI to export direction. This implies that inflow of FDI in India is mostly not for
efficiency seeking (vertical FDI). This may be coming to take advantage of growing market size determined by
large population with high population and economic growth (horizontal FDI).
