Given the significance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to economic growth and the use of tax
incentives as a strategy among government of various countries to attract FDI, this study examines the influence
of tax incentives in the decision of an investor to locate FDI in Nigeria. Data were drawn from annual statistical
bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the World Bank World Development Indicators Database. The work
employs a model of multiple regressions using static Error Correction Modelling (ECM) to determine the time
series properties of tax incentives captured by annual tax revenue as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product
(GDP)and FDI. The result showed that FDI response to tax incentives is negatively significant, that is, increase
in tax incentives does not bring about a corresponding increase in FDI. Based on the findings, the paper
recommends, amongst others, that dependence on tax incentives should be reduced and more attention be put on
other incentives strategies such as stable economic reforms and stable political climate.
Foreign Investment and Its Effect on the Economic Growth in Nigeria: A Triang...iosrjce
Evidence abound about the registered increase in foreign investment inflows in recent years. While
proponents emphasize that these inflows could engender economic growth, critics express concern that there
could be destabilizing effect on the economy if not well managed. This study therefore, attempts to examine the
effect of foreign investments (disaggregated into foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment)
inflows on economic growth in Nigeria with a view to ascertaining the better contributor, using time series data
from 1987-2012. The OLS and the Granger causality procedures were employed in analyzing the data. The
result displays that both foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment have positive and significant
effect on economic growth though the partial correlation coefficients show that foreign portfolio investment is
the better contributor. Based on the result, government should pursue policies that encourage both foreign
direct investment and especially foreign portfolio investment.

In this issue, we will be discussing about Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Foreign Direct Investment has been a very productive tool for the economic growth of many countries. Recently after the government made the decision to celebrate 2012/13 as investment year and after the agreement with India i.e. Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement, the topic of Foreign Direct Investment has been highly discussed among the lawmakers, policymakers and general public. The examples provided in this issue of different countries regarding FDI has shown how the growth rate is positively affected by the investment from outside the country.
Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeriaijtsrd
This document examines the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Nigeria. It provides context on FDI and its importance for economic growth. FDI inflows to Nigeria have experienced volatility over time. The study aims to determine what factors influence FDI in Nigeria using econometric analysis. Specifically, it will analyze the impact of trade openness, market size, infrastructure, human capital, labor force, natural resources, exchange rate, and inflation rate on FDI inflows. The document reviews several previous studies that have examined factors influencing FDI in Nigeria and other countries. It finds that market size, trade openness, exchange rates, and inflation are often statistically significant determinants of FDI.
Capital Inflows and Economic Growth A Comperative Studyiosrjce
This study examines the impact of capital inflows on economic growth of developing* economies; the
case of Nigeria Ghana and India from 1986-2012. This is necessitated by the doubts being raised as whether the
huge inflows of foreign capita! in developing economies over the years have transmitted to real economic
growth. Augmented Dickey Fuller unit root test was employed to evaluate the stationarity of the data, while
Johansen Co-integration was used to estimate the long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The
casual relationship was tested using Granger Causality, and Ordinary Least Square method was used to
estimate the model. The finding reveals that capital inflows have significant impact on the economic growth of
the three countries. In Nigeria and Ghana, foreign direct and portfolio investment and foreign borrowings have
significant and positive impact on economic growth. Workers' remittances significantly and positively related to
the economic growth of the three countries. The enabling environment should be created in the Developing
Countries to encourage more inflow of foreign investments and workers remittances while India specifically
should channel their foreign aids to productive ends. This will help in dosing the savings-investment gap and
encourage economic growth in these countries. The study signifies that capital inflows is indispensable in
dosing the savings-investment gap required for economic growth of developing countries.

1) Malaysia received substantial FDI over this period, which was an important driver of its economic growth and industrialization.
2) An econometric analysis using cointegration and fully-modified least squares methods found that increases in education, infrastructure, market size, and current account balance led to increases in FDI, while increases in inflation and exchange rate led to decreases.
3) Major sources of FDI in Malaysia's manufacturing sector included the US, Japan, Germany, and Singapore, with electrical/electronics, petroleum, and chemicals as top recipient industries.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Flows in Nigeria: Pro or Economic Growth Averse?iosrjce
This study investigates the empirical relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and economic
growth in Nigeria. The work covered a period of 1981-2009 using an annual data from Central Bank of Nigeria
statistical bulletin. A growth model via the Ordinary Least Square method was used to ascertain the relationship
between FDI and economic growth in Nigeria. The study also added Gross Fixed Capital Formation with a
view to capture theeffect of domestic investment on the growth of the economy for the period under review.
Interest Rate and exchange rate were also added as control variables in the model. Granger causality test was
also employed to determine the direction of causality between FDI and economic growth in Nigeria. The result
of the OLS techniques indicates that FDI has a positive and insignificant impact on the growth of Nigerian
economy for the period under study. GFCF which was used as a proxy for domestic investment has a positive
and significant impact on economic growth.Interest rate was found to be positive and insignificant while
exchange rate positively and significantly affects the growth of Nigeria economy. Therefore, government should
provide an enabling environment that will encourage foreign investors to invest in Nigeria economy by
addressing the security challenges in the country, providing investment friendly environment by improved
regulatory framework as well as encourage domestic investment.

The literature suggests that while FDI can benefit economic growth, developing effective policies is important to maximize benefits and minimize risks for host countries like Nigeria.
Abstract: Nigeria is one of the economies with great demand for goods and services and has attracted some foreign direct investment over the years. The amount of foreign direct investment inflow in to Nigeria has reached US $ 2.23 billion in 2003 and it rose to US $ 5.31 billion in 2004 (a 138 % increase), this figure rose again to US $ 9.92 billion (an 87% increase) in 2005. The figure however declined slightly to US $ 9.44 in 2006 while it has been on astronomical fall since 2006 till date. (CBN, 2011). The question that comes to mind is, do these for actually contribute to economic growth in Nigeria? If foreign direct investment actually contribute to growth, then, the sustainability of foreign direct investment is a worthwhile activity and a way of achieving this sustainability is by identifying the factors contributing to its growth with a view to ensuring its enhancement. The nose driving this research is to determine the short run impact of FDI on economic growth, OLS with ward test analysis was employed to determine the short run analysis of impact of FDI on economic growth. The result shows that all the explanatory variables such as Gross Fixed capital formation (GFCF), Total labour force (TLBF), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Lending rate and Average Manufacturing Capacity Utilization (AMCU) grossly affect economic growth in Nigeria. The result also implies that there exist a singleton (short run) impact of FDI on economic growth, recommendation was made that government must put in place all the pull factors such as good road, stable power supply and most essentially security of life and property of foreign investors in order to reduce the level of unemployment which serves as impediment to sustainable development in the Nation Nigeria.
Foreign Direct Investment and Development of Manufacturing Sector in Nigeria ...inventionjournals
This study is centered on foreign direct investment and development of manufacturing sector from 1990-2014. Political unrest, epileptic power supply, militancy of Niger Delta region, unstable exchange rate and insurgency of the North east of Nigeria was identified as the hindrances to manufacturing sector. The work is anchored on mercantilist trade theory of Jean baptiste Colbert and Thomas hobbes. Secondary data was sourced from Central bank of Nigeria Statistical bulletin, CBN occasional paper number 32 on the dynamics of inflation in Nigeria. Diagnostic survey research pattern was applied for this study. Data obtained were analyzed using an ordinary least square method by the use of time series and seasonal variations. The results shows that FDI is growth enhancing and it equips and stabilizes exchange rate and reduces dependency on imported finished products, enhances profitability thus leads to survival of manufacturing sector. Recommendations include; policy makers should realize the essence of stable exchange rate so as to drive maximum benefit from investment. Government expenditure should encourage and promote investment to boost the manufacturing industries
Contribution of foreign direct investment on development in nigeria..Emmanuel Okoh
This document examines the contribution of foreign direct investment (FDI) to development in Nigeria. It discusses how FDI facilitates technological transfer, innovation, and human capital development, which supports industrialization. FDI also increases revenue generation and market access. The document reviews concepts of FDI and evaluates its role in Nigeria, finding that over 60% of FDI inflows are in the extractive industry. It asserts that FDI contributes to GDP growth, capital formation, exports, and foreign exchange, but the linkage between FDI and economic growth in Nigeria requires more clarity.
The document provides background information on foreign direct investment (FDI) and discusses the importance of FDI to developing economies like Nigeria. It notes that Nigeria suffers from capital scarcity due to low domestic savings. While FDI can help boost capital levels and economic growth, insecurity poses challenges to Nigeria's investment climate and has led to declining FDI. The study aims to examine the impact of insecurity on FDI in Nigeria, particularly in the manufacturing and communication sectors, in order to improve economic growth and development. It outlines the statement of the problem, research questions, objectives, hypotheses and significance of the study.
- 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

This document summarizes a student's research on understanding the determinants and impacts of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into India. The student examines various economic theories on what drives FDI and reviews previous empirical studies. The methodology section outlines how the student uses a positivist philosophy and deductive approach, collecting secondary data to conduct regression analysis and correlation tests. The findings section indicates that GDP, imports, exports, and exchange rates are significant determinants of FDI in India. While FDI is found to positively impact GDP, capital formation, imports and savings, the magnitude of impact is less than that of domestic capital formation. In conclusion, the student finds that India has not yet received sufficient FDI to significantly impact the
Fdi in india:An analysis on the impact of fdi in india’s retail sectorSubhajit Ray
The document discusses trends in foreign direct investment (FDI) in India. It analyzes literature on the economic impacts of FDI and summarizes India's policies toward FDI over time. Key points include:
1) Studies have found mixed results on the economic impacts of FDI, with some finding benefits like technology transfer and others finding weak or negative spillover effects.
2) India initially had restrictive FDI policies but began liberalizing in the 1990s, allowing greater foreign equity ownership and automatic approvals in many sectors.
3) Actual FDI inflows to India have increased steadily since 1991 reforms, though growth has been slower than some other countries. In recent years India has gained a
Foreign direct investment (FDI) involves a company from one country making a physical investment in building or expanding a business in another country. There are several potential benefits of FDI for host countries, including transferring technology, exploiting natural resources, and generating employment. However, the effects of FDI depend on the type (e.g. greenfield vs mergers and acquisitions) and can include both positive and negative externalities. Political risk also affects foreign investment and refers to complications from political decisions and instability in a country that impact business objectives and outcomes.
External Financing and Economic Growth in Nigeria 1986 2017ijtsrd
External financing has become a veritable resort to remedying the common problems of low productivity, low productivity, low savings and high dependent on consumption from exports in most less developed economies. The use of external finance is believed to have the capacity to close wide gap between domestic savings and investment and provide the complementary funds to facilitate economic activities necessary for growth in Nigeria. This study aimed to investigate the effect of external financing on economic growth in Nigeria between 1986 and 2017. External financing was captured using five variables of external debt stock EDS , foreign direct investment FDI , official development assistance ODA , remittance RMT and foreign portfolio investment FPI , as the independent variables, regressed on economic growth represented by annual growth rate of gross domestic product GDPR as the dependent variable. Data for these variables were obtained from World Development Indicator, and analyzed based on the Autoregressive Distributive Lag ARDL approach. The findings revealed that, in the long run, EDS and FDI had a negative and a positive, significant effects, respectively, while others had no effect on growth in the short run, all the external financing variables EDS, FDI, FPI, ODA, and RMT had no significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria. The study averred that FDI is a veritable source of financing that can bring about economic sustainability to Nigeria. The study recommended, among others, that government should deploy external debts for regenerative projects that will eventually liquidate themselves in the long run. Ekwunife, Ifeanyi Jude | Dr. J.

It discusses how FDI facilitates technological transfer, innovation, and human capital development, which supports industrialization. FDI also increases revenue generation and market access. The document reviews concepts of FDI and evaluates its role in Nigeria, finding that over 60% of FDI inflows are in the extractive industry. It asserts that FDI contributes to GDP growth, capital formation, exports, and foreign exchange, but the linkage between FDI and economic growth in Nigeria requires more clarity.
The document provides background information on foreign direct investment (FDI) and discusses the importance of FDI to developing economies like Nigeria. It notes that Nigeria suffers from capital scarcity due to low domestic savings. While FDI can help boost capital levels and economic growth, insecurity poses challenges to Nigeria's investment climate and has led to declining FDI. The study aims to examine the impact of insecurity on FDI in Nigeria, particularly in the manufacturing and communication sectors, in order to improve economic growth and development. It outlines the statement of the problem, research questions, objectives, hypotheses and significance of the study.
- 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
Relation Between Inflow Of FDI and The Development Of India's EconomyIJTEMT

Understanding the Determinants and Impacts of FDI Inflows - An Indian Perspec...Jitender Barna
This document summarizes a student's research on understanding the determinants and impacts of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into India. The student examines various economic theories on what drives FDI and reviews previous empirical studies. The methodology section outlines how the student uses a positivist philosophy and deductive approach, collecting secondary data to conduct regression analysis and correlation tests. The findings section indicates that GDP, imports, exports, and exchange rates are significant determinants of FDI in India. While FDI is found to positively impact GDP, capital formation, imports and savings, the magnitude of impact is less than that of domestic capital formation. In conclusion, the student finds that India has not yet received sufficient FDI to significantly impact the
Fdi in india:An analysis on the impact of fdi in india’s retail sectorSubhajit Ray
The document discusses trends in foreign direct investment (FDI) in India. It analyzes literature on the economic impacts of FDI and summarizes India's policies toward FDI over time. Key points include:
1) Studies have found mixed results on the economic impacts of FDI, with some finding benefits like technology transfer and others finding weak or negative spillover effects.
2) India initially had restrictive FDI policies but began liberalizing in the 1990s, allowing greater foreign equity ownership and automatic approvals in many sectors.
3) Actual FDI inflows to India have increased steadily since 1991 reforms, though growth has been slower than some other countries. In recent years India has gained a
Foreign direct investment (FDI) involves a company from one country making a physical investment in building or expanding a business in another country. There are several potential benefits of FDI for host countries, including transferring technology, exploiting natural resources, and generating employment. However, the effects of FDI depend on the type (e.g. greenfield vs mergers and acquisitions) and can include both positive and negative externalities. Political risk also affects foreign investment and refers to complications from political decisions and instability in a country that impact business objectives and outcomes.
External Financing and Economic Growth in Nigeria 1986 2017ijtsrd
External financing has become a veritable resort to remedying the common problems of low productivity, low productivity, low savings and high dependent on consumption from exports in most less developed economies. The use of external finance is believed to have the capacity to close wide gap between domestic savings and investment and provide the complementary funds to facilitate economic activities necessary for growth in Nigeria. This study aimed to investigate the effect of external financing on economic growth in Nigeria between 1986 and 2017. External financing was captured using five variables of external debt stock EDS , foreign direct investment FDI , official development assistance ODA , remittance RMT and foreign portfolio investment FPI , as the independent variables, regressed on economic growth represented by annual growth rate of gross domestic product GDPR as the dependent variable. Data for these variables were obtained from World Development Indicator, and analyzed based on the Autoregressive Distributive Lag ARDL approach. The findings revealed that, in the long run, EDS and FDI had a negative and a positive, significant effects, respectively, while others had no effect on growth in the short run, all the external financing variables EDS, FDI, FPI, ODA, and RMT had no significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria. The study averred that FDI is a veritable source of financing that can bring about economic sustainability to Nigeria. The study recommended, among others, that government should deploy external debts for regenerative projects that will eventually liquidate themselves in the long run. Ekwunife, Ifeanyi Jude | Dr. J.

Trend results indicate that FDI and stock market development experience cyclical movements. Lagged exchange rate is also found to have a positive impact on growth, suggesting that exchange rate appreciation enhances growth in Nigeria. The findings suggest more investment is needed in these markets to boost economic growth.
Effect of FDI Inflows on Real Sector Economy of Nigeriaijtsrd
The study have examined the effect of sectorial FDI to economic growth of Nigeria within 34 year period spanning 1987 to 2020. FDI was disaggregated into four variables being agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and oil and gas as the independent variable. Economic growth was the dependent variable. The data were obtained from CBN statistical bulletin and Annual reports. The repression analysed using the ARDL technique. The results showed that FDI to various sector of the economy has significant long run effect on economic growth of Nigeria. Furthermore, The short run dynamic results revealed that 1 FDI to agriculture has interjecting effect with positive effect in the first lag 1 and successive negative effects in lags 2 and 4 2 FDI to construction have a significant positive effect on economic growth 3 FDI to manufacturing sector has negative effect on economic growth and 4 FDI to oil and gas sector has positive effect on economic growth.

Foreign Portfolio Investment and Human Capital Development in Nigeria 1987 2018ijtsrd
As a result of low savings that characterize their economies, most developing economies scramble for international capital inflows to fill the void in their domestic savings. The international capital can take the form of Foreign Portfolio Investment. There are mixed and conflicting results in past studies on the effect of Foreign Portfolio Investment on Human Capital Development in Nigeria which this study will attempt to resolve. Foreign portfolio investment FPI is an aspect of international capital inflows and involves the transfer of financial assets such as cash, stock or bonds across international borders in want of profit. The main objective of this study is to explore, determine, assess, examine and ascertain the effect of FPI on human capital development in Nigeria. The specific objectives of this study are to explore, determine, assess, examine and ascertain the effects of foreign portfolio investment, market capitalization, exchange rate and interest rate respectively on human capital development in Nigeria. The study adopted ex post facto research design and sourced data sourced data from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and Annual Reports and the World Bank Development Indicators which were analyzed using Descriptive Statistics, Augmented Dicker Fuller tests for unit roots and Autoregressive Distributive Lag ARDL for the hypothesis.The study concluded that foreign portfolio investment has both short run and long run positive and significant effects on human capital development. Hence, it is recommended that government should strengthen and deepen the capital market system in Nigeria to sustain existing foreign portfolio investment and attract new ones.

This study investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and stock market development on economic growth in Nigeria from 1980 to 2009. It finds that both FDI and lagged stock market development have a small but statistically significant positive effect on economic growth. The results support the argument that extractive FDI and stock market development enhance growth. However, both FDI and stock market development show cyclical movements over time. Lagged exchange rate appreciation is also found to positively impact growth in Nigeria. The study aims to fill a gap by examining the joint impact of FDI and stock market development on growth, which has not been the focus of prior research on Nigeria.

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 summarizes a research paper that empirically examines the impact of investment and inflation on economic growth in Nigeria from 1981 to 2006. The key findings are:
1) Higher inflation is negatively associated with economic growth, while higher investment is positively associated with economic growth.
2) A 1% increase in inflation is associated with a 0.09% decrease in economic growth, while a 1% increase in investment is associated with a 0.3% increase in economic growth.
3) Both supply-side and demand management policies should be adopted to reduce inflation in the short and long-run in order to promote economic growth.
The document discusses a study investigating the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in Pakistan from 1990-2006. The study uses a production function model including FDI, trade, domestic capital, labor, and human capital as independent variables affecting economic growth. The expected results are a statistically significant positive relationship between real per capita GDP and FDI in Pakistan. Policy recommendations could then be made regarding FDI in Pakistan based on the results.
This document summarizes a study that examined factors affecting foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to Ethiopia from 1990 to 2011. The study used a multiple regression model to analyze the relationship between FDI inflows as a percentage of GDP (the dependent variable) and five independent variables: market size, trade openness, inflation rate, infrastructure, and human capital. Time series data from 1990 to 2011 on these variables was obtained from the World Bank and analyzed. The findings showed that trade openness and inflation rate had a significant impact on FDI flows to Ethiopia, while no clear relationship was found for market size, infrastructure, and human capital.

The main goal of the current study is to investigate how conventional and institutional factors affect foreign direct investment in particular global emerging markets. The study specifically seeks to determine the impact of GDP Growth, Population Growth, Level of Inflation, Trade Openness, Voice and Accountability, Rule of Law, Control of Corruption, Political Stability, and Government Effectiveness which are institutional determinants on FDI Inflows towards the Global Emerging Markets. To approach the research question a panel regression analysis has been applied by leveraging annual data from 18 countries, namely Angola, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Egypt, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea and Vietnam. Findings show that inflation and GDP have a significant and positive effect on the FDI inflows, while Voice and Accountability is significant but negative towards the examined variable. Manolis I.

Impact of Foreign Direct Investments on Domestic Investments in Nigeriaijtsrd
This study examines the impact of foreign direct investments on domestic investments in Nigeria. Specifically, the study seeks to ascertain the effect of foreign direct investment, per capita income, consumption expenditure, savings and debt burden on domestic investments in Nigeria using an inferential statistic like the regression analysis after determining stationarity of the variables using the ADF Statistic, as well as the cointegration of variables using the Johansen approach. Findings revealed that foreign direct investment, per capita income, consumption expenditure, savings, interest rate and debt burden are statistically significant in explaining domestic investment in Nigeria. The F test conducted in the study shows that the model has a goodness of fit and is statistically different from zero. In other words, there is a significant impact between the dependent and independent variables in the model. The study therefore recommends that There is need for government to formulate investment policies that will be favourable to local investors in order to complement the inflow of investment from abroad. Government should provide adequate infrastructure and policy framework that will be conducive for doing business in Nigeria, so as to attract the inflow of FDI. Policies that would improve per capita income of Nigeria should be pursued as this will stabilize and accelerate the rate of investment in Nigeria.

This document discusses the Two-Gap model of economic growth in Nigeria from 1970-2007 using vector autoregression analysis. It finds that foreign aid does not have a clear positive impact on economic growth in Nigeria, while foreign direct investment (FDI) does, but is volatile. The study also finds that filling trade gaps determined by aid requirements alone will not necessarily boost trade and growth. It reviews literature on the relationship between FDI and economic growth, finding mixed evidence. Determinants of FDI identified include market size, infrastructure, political stability, natural resources, and macroeconomic policies.
The study is on the effect of Net capital inflow on inclusive growth in Nigeria. This study seeks to deepen the understanding on how capital inflow creates opportunity for inclusive growth in Nigeria through increase in GDP per capita. The objective of the study were to : determine the effect of Net capital inflow , Net foreign direct investment and trade openness on inclusive growth in Nigeria. The study employed the time series data in its analysis. The period of analysis spanned through 1980-2015 and the dataset required for the analysis were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin and National bureau of statistics publications. The study conducted trend analysis, descriptive analysis. The data were also tested for stationarity using the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root test and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) analytical techniques, cointegration test and error correction mechanism. It was evident from the unit root test that the variables were fractionally integrated while the cointegration test reveals that long run relationship exists among the variables. The findings equally reveal that capital inflow exerts significant negative influence on GDP per capita. This could be attributed to the problem of managing external capital flows which has been sub-optimal in most developing economies including Nigeria. The implication of this finding is that the perceived benefits that are associated with capital inflows tend not to hold sway in Nigeria over the sampled period which may be attributed to institutional and governance failure. Owing to the findings, this study recommends for the adoption of investment friendly policies and ensure transparency and good governance, appropriate economic management practices capable of supporting reforms in the Nigerian financial system and guide international capital inflows to ensure that the associated economic turnarounds are people-centered.

Abstract: Given the significance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to economic growth and the use of tax
incentives as a strategy among government of various countries to attract FDI, this study examines the influence
of tax incentives in the decision of an investor to locate FDI in Nigeria. Data were drawn from annual statistical
bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the World Bank World Development Indicators Database. The work
employs a model of multiple regressions using static Error Correction Modelling (ECM) to determine the time
series properties of tax incentives captured by annual tax revenue as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product
(GDP)and FDI. The result showed that FDI response to tax incentives is negatively significant, that is, increase
in tax incentives does not bring about a corresponding increase in FDI. Based on the findings, the paper
recommends, amongst others, that dependence on tax incentives should be reduced and more attention be put on
other incentives strategies such as stable economic reforms and stable political climate.
Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, Tax Incentives, Nigeria, Economic Growth.
I. Introduction
Empirical and theoretical evidence over decades suggest that FDI is an important source of capital for
investment. It can contribute to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), gross fixed capital formation (total investment
in a host economy) and balance of payments (BOPs) especially when there is good economic conditions in the
host economy such as the level of domestic investment/savings, the mode of entry (merger and acquisitions of
new investments) and the sector involved as well as the host country’s ability to regulate foreign investment
(Toward Earths Summit, 2002).
FDI can complement domestic development effort of host economies by: (a) increasing financial
resources and development; (b) boosting export competitiveness; (c) generating employment opportunities and
strengthening the skill base; (d) protecting the environment and social responsibility; and (e) enhancing
technological capabilities via four basic channels which are the internalization of research and development,
migration of skilled labour, linkages with suppliers or purchasers in the host economies and horizontal linkages
with competing or complementary companies in the same industry (Raian 2004 ; OECD 2002).
On the causal relationship between FDI and growth for three countries - Chile, Malaysia and Thailand
– Chaudhury&Mavrotas (2003) found a bi-directional causality running from FDI to GDP (a proxy for growth)
and vice versa. However, the thesis that FDI determines growth was not established in the case of Chile where a
unidirectional relationship was found running from GDP to FDI instead. In support of the above findings,
Alfaro (2003) revisited the impact of FDI on economic growth by examining the role FDI inflows play in
promoting growth in primary, manufacturing and service sectors of 47 countries between 1980 and 1999 and
found that FDI flows into different sectors of the economy and exert different effects on economic growth. FDI
into the primary sector was found to have a negative effect on growth while that of the manufacturing sector
impacted positively on growth.
With regard to less developed countries, macro and micro empirical analysis suggest that overall FDI
have positive impact on economic growth. In many countries FDI constitute the core of the economy’s growth.
In Bolivia, for instance, Flexner (2000) found that FDI plays a crucial role for a number of reasons: it positively
impacts growth by increasing total investment and improving productivity through diffusion of advanced
technology and managerial skills. A study across developing countries for the period 1990-2000 by (Makola,
2003) showed that FDI was a significant determinant of economic growth across the 12 - case studied
economies and was estimated to be three to six times more efficient than domestic investment. This, according
to (Makola, 2003), is the capacity of FDI to produce a crowding-in effect.
Based on the foregoing, the crucial question then is whether tax incentives is a significant driver of
FDI. Is it possible to stimulate FDI activity significantly using tax incentives or does it have only a minimal
impact on FDI? Or is it possible that the FDI was driven by other political and economic factors besides tax
incentives beyond fiscal control? There is a need therefore, to re-appraise the effectiveness of tax incentives
generally in the promotion of inflow of FDI. As pointed out by Arogundade (2005), factors such as security,
currency convertibility, political stability and market or source of supplies are known to weigh higher on an
investor’s scale of preferences than fiscal incentives. As he further agued, there is no consensus yet on the role

DOI: 10.9790/5933-06511020 www.iosrjournals.org 11 | Page
of tax incentives in the decision of a potential investor to locate FDI among different countries. While some feel
that it ranks low, others feel that it significantly influences the location of FDI.
This paper therefore intends to investigate empirically the extent of effectiveness of tax incentives in
attracting FDI in Nigeria within the period 1980-2012. Furthermore, we test the neoclassical investment theory’s
prediction that tax incentives lowers the user cost of capital and raises investment holds in an economy.
Empirical studies in this area, in the Nigerian context is scanty. As Arogundade (2005) has observed, there is
need for a review of tax incentive policy in Nigeria as many of these incentive packages have decorated the
statute books for so long without anybody undertaking a survey to determine their effectiveness or continued
relevance. This study intends to fill this gap in the literature. Specifically, the study will provide an overview of
the various steps, tools, aspects and issues relating to tax incentives in Nigeria. It will also provide policy
makers and analyst with a framework to analysing the usefulness of FDI based on the level of growth involved
and suggest reforms to adjust or move towards best practices. Furthermore, it is expected that this study would
provide an indication of, as well as, a guide for further studies. Thus, the empirical evidence provided by the
study will be of great interest both for application and scientific research.
The rest of this paper will be organized as follows: section two reviews literature associated with FDI
and tax incentives in general and in particular for Nigeria. The third section focuses on the research
methodology, section four presents the results and implications and section five provides the conclusion and
recommendations.
II. Literature Review
2.1 Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeria
Attracting FDI has been a preoccupation of many economies of the world especially Less Developed
Countries(LDCs) who need such investment to boost domestic capital. As a cheap source of external finance,
FDI complements domestic savings and encourages growth via investment financing. More so as a source of
capital, FDI is reputed to be more stable than other types of financial flows as foreign investors who have access
to foreign sources of capital are not constrained by the underdeveloped domestic capital market or by the ability
of the domestic economy “to generate foreign cash flow from the export of domestic production” (Heimann,
2001). Again, other economic reasons asserted for the pull towards these kind of investment is access to western
markets, new job creation opportunities, access to advanced managerial techniques, access to advanced
technology which stimulates technological adaptation and innovation that leads to faster economic growth and
facilitation of privatization and restrictions of the economy as a whole.
In line with this incentive, various regimes of the Nigerian government have also developed various
legislations over time to improve investment conditions in order to attract FDI. Nigeria as one of the most
populous developing countries is striving to attain international competitiveness among other countries in Africa
as far as FDI inflows is concerned. Table 3 and Figure 1 show FDI flows in Nigeria.

Figure 1 shows FDI for Nigeria from 1980-2011. Currently, according to Corporate Nigeria (2013),
Nigeria has made it to the top of being among the 20 global destinations for FDI. FDI continued to grow
uninterrupted since the beginning of the transformation period such that, according to Central Bank of Nigeria
(2011), Nigeria’s FDI quadrupled from 2003 to 2011. FDI has grown from a modest US$1.14 billion in 2001
and US$2.03 billion in 2003 to US$7.09 billion in 2009 net inflow making the country the nineteenth largest
recipient of FDI in the world.
Composition of FDI in Nigeria
Composition of FDI according to sectoral allocation in Nigeria is available from 1990. The principal
recipient of Nigeria’s FDI has been the oil and gas sectors, manufacturing sector, infrastructure development,
services and consumer goods sector. Empirical assessment of the figure shows that FDI inflows in Nigeria have
been heavily concentrated in the hydrocarbon and mining sectors. In recent years FDI inflows to the
manufacturing sector has declined, while that of the oil and agricultural sectors have surged. Combinational, the
two sectors account for 84.4 percent of total FDI over the period, 1990-2011.
Country of Origin of FDI in Nigeria
As Table 3 shows, the principal sources of FDI for Nigeria have been the United States of America
(USA), Latin America and increasingly Europe. The USA presence especially in Nigeria’s oil sector is
registered through Chevron, Texaco and Exxon Mobil which has an investment stock of US$3.4 billion as at
2008. In 1990 FDI from USA represented roughly 67.8 percent of total FDI. The USA is the leading investor in
Nigeria’s oil, agriculture and manufacturing sector with the exception being the service sector; between 2010
and 2012 the US accounted for 45.6 percent of all the FDI inflows to Nigeria. Although the USA nominal FDI
investment has increased considerably within the decade, its total share, however, in terms of percentage
contribution has dropped from 67.8 percent in 2010 to 34.5 percent in 2012. However, the US dominant role
was taken over by the Japanese investors in the 1990s whose share of FDI increased from 23.0 percent to 50.5
percent in the same period. The UK one of the host countries of Shell is another relevant foreign investor in
Nigeria accounting for about 20% of Nigeria’s total foreign investment. Other relevant sources of FDI included
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Italy, Netherland, France, South Africa and increasingly China which is the second
largest trading partner to Nigeria in Africa after South Africa. From US$3.billion in 2003, China’s FDI in
Nigeria is reported to have increased to US$ 6 billion with the Nigerian oil sector receiving about 75% of this
amount.

2.2 Tax Incentives and FDI
Tax incentives have been a major policy instrument used by various governments especially
developing countries and those in transition where there is shortage of capital and lags in technological
development. According to survey conducted by the OECD (2000) for 50 countries made up of 45 developing
countries and transition economies and 5 less developed countries selected from the various regions of the
world, almost 85% of the countries surveyed offered one form of tax incentives or the other to attract some form
of FDI.
A lot of analysis has been done to determine the effect of tax incentives on FDI from both selective
surveys of international investors and time series econometric analysis. Barlow &Wenders (1995) study which
is one of the earliest surveys on the effect of tax incentives on FDI examined 247 US companies on their
strategies to invest abroad. The result of the survey showed that together tax incentives (10%) and host
country’s government encouragement to investors (11%) made up 21% of the responses ranked fourth place
behind determinants such as currency convertibility, host country political stability and guarantee against
expropriation.
Econometric studies carried out on the bivariate relationship between FDI and tax incentives seem to
confirm the above survey that though tax considerations are important in the decision of foreign investors to
invest in any host economy, it however, do not carry as much weight as market and political factors and in some
cases tax incentives were found to have little or no effect on the locations of FDI.Agodo (1978), carried out a
study to determine the impact of tax concession of FDI using 33 US firms having 46 manufacturing investment
in 20 African countries. The result showed that tax incentives were found to be insignificant determinant of FDI
both in simple and multiple regression. Hassett& Hubbard (2002), discovered that investment incentives create
significant distortions by encouraging inefficient investment and that low inflation is the best investment
incentives than tax Incentives.
However, studies conducted by the World Bank group investment climate advisory services using a
series of investor surveys and econometric analysis to determine the effect of taxation on FDI in developing
countries in 40 Latin American, Caribbean and African countries between 1985-2004, showed, specifically, that
FDI is affected by tax rates with a 10 percent point increase in corporate income tax rate lowering FDI by 0.45
percent point of GDP.
Empirical literature on the connection between FDI and tax incentives in the case of developing
countries from the perspective of Walid(2010), who examined the economic and financial risks on FDI on
macro level from 1997-2007 using multiple linear regression model revealed that there exist significant and
positive relationship between FDI and economic and financial variables utilized for the study. In conclusion, the
study recommended promotion of FDI via tax incentives to attract new investments.
Significant to the present study is the empirical analysis conducted by Babatunde&Adepeju (2012) for
Nigeria to determine the impact of tax incentives on FDI in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria using data for 21
years. Using Karl Pearson coefficient of correlation statistical method of analysis in analysing the data collected,
it was found that there is a significant impact of tax incentives on FDI in the oil and gas sector of Nigeria. Also,
the study found that the major determinants of FDI in Nigeria are openness to trade and availability of natural
resources on FDI.
Finally, a review of the literature carried out by Mooij&Ederveen (2005), found that most studies’
reviews on the relationship between tax incentives and FDI reported a negative relationship between taxation
and FDI but with a wide variability in the various tax elasticity of FDI inflow. This variability, according to
Mooij&Ederveen (2005), vary depending on host country’s political, environmental and economic conditions.
The reviewed literature concluded that the influence of taxes on FDI is complex and depends on a number of
difficult to measure factors. Thus more empirical analysis is required to shed more light on the role of taxation
amongst key factors influencing FDI investment decisions.
Based on the foregoing, the following hypothesis was tested:
H0: Tax Incentives in Nigeria as measured by the annual tax revenue as a percentage of Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) is not significantly related with FDI
III. Methodology
This section is aimed at describing the econometric methodology adopted to analyse the determinants
of FDI and undertakes an empirical assessment of the impacts of tax incentives on FDI in Nigeria. We utilized
econometric data covering the period 1980-2011. We also made use of data on net external FDI inflow, effective
tax rate in Nigeria, GDP, openness to trade, population, exchange rate and inflation (proxies for macroeconomic
stability). The data on FDI, tax revenue and GDP were taken from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical
bulletin, 2012 while data on exchange rate, inflation rate, population and trade openness were extracted from
World Bank’s World Development Indicators. The choice of this period is to take into consideration the period
5. Tax Incentives and Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeria

of major economic reforms in Nigeria such as National Economic Empowerment Development Strategy
(NEEDS) and Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP).
This study adopts the static Error Correction Model (ECM) conducted using annual data from Central
Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin on FDI and proxies of tax incentives for Nigeria. The use of Granger
causality tests is to trace the causality between the economic variables as it yields valuable information in terms
of time patterns and can be particularly interesting in comparative analysis.
Before estimating the model we use the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) tests (Dickey &Fuller, 1981) and
Phillip-Peron (PP) unit root tests, also to test for co-integration using the Johansson’s co-integration tests that
yields the log-likelihood estimates for the unconstrained co-integration vectors thus establishing the error
correction model (ECM). These data were processed by Excel software to take logarithms of all variables, then
the E-views software were used to examine the relationship between the variables according to linear regression
equation.
The model adopted for this study is simply a modification of the standard gravity model of bilateral
FDI flows, augmented by including effective tax rates variable as parameter of interest specified as follows:
𝑙𝑛𝐹𝐷𝐼𝑁𝐸𝑇𝑖𝑗𝑡 = 𝛽0 + 𝛽1 𝑙𝑛𝐸𝑇𝑅𝑖𝑡 + 𝛽1 𝑙𝑛𝐺𝐷𝑃𝑖𝑡 + 𝛽2 𝑙𝑛𝑇𝑂𝑃𝑖𝑡 + 𝛽1 𝑙𝑛𝐼𝑁𝐹𝑖𝑡 + 𝛽1 𝑙𝑛𝐸𝑋𝐶𝐻𝑖𝑡 + 𝑙𝑛𝑃𝑂𝑃𝑖𝑡 + 𝑙𝑛𝑖𝑡
Where:
FDINET = Net inflow of FDI in Nigeria in a given year; GDP = Gross Domestic Product in a given
year; ETR = Annual Tax Revenue as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Following the works
ofBabatunde&Adepeju (2012) and Edmiston, Mudd&Valev (2003); INF = Inflation Rate in percentage; EXCH
= Bilateral Exchange Rate between Nigeria naira and $US, POP = Aggregate population of Nigeria; TOP =
level of openness to trade; i =FDI to recipient country; j = year; t and = error term. All the variables are
measured in their log forms.
IV. Results
Table 1 (Appendix) presents the descriptive statistics of the main variables used in the analysis. The
table shows that the mean effective tax rate for the period under consideration was 1.76 with standard deviation
of 0.39; that of FDINET was 21.04. Exchange rate and inflation showed a mean value of 60.46 and 20.61 with a
high standard deviation of 61.41 and 18.16 respectively. The mean values for GDP, population, trade openness
and Net flow of FDI in Nigeria were 14.14, 12.25, 3.96 and 21.04 respectively.
Table 2 (Appendix) depicts the correlation matrix showing the degree of correlation between the
variables. FDI is shown to be negatively related to effective tax rate and rate of inflation and positively related
to GDP, population, openness to trade and exchange rate with high degree of correlation of 89, 59, 70 and 83
percent respectively. The correlation matrix depicts that FDI in Nigeria is negatively correlated with tax
incentives to the tune of 44 percent.
Unit root tests
Granger &Newbold (1974) and Granger (1986) have shown that if time series variables are non-
stationary, the time series econometric study becomes inadequate. That is, regression coefficients with non-
stationary variables would more than likely yield spurious and misleading results. It thus indicates that the times
series variables have to be stationary (finite means, variance and auto variance) for them to be valid (Gujarati,
1997). To overcome this problem we test for stationarity of the dependent and independent variables employing
the Group Unit Test comprising PP and ADF tests. The results of the tests are presented in Table 3 (Appendix).
Table 3 (Appendix) indicates that the time series of Net FDI Inflow, Gross Domestic Product as an indicator of
growth, population of Nigeria, openness to trade, effective tax rate, exchange rate and inflation are non-
stationary (we cannot conclude to reject H0) at 5% level of significance, since the ADF and PP value of each
variable at 5% level is greater than the McKinnon 5% critical values (p-value is higher than 5%). That means
the series has a unit root problem. The first difference however, we found that they are stationary as calculated t-
statistics is lower than the critical values of ADF and PP at 5% level. This implies that we reject the null
hypothesis that there is a unit root (a series is a non-stationary process) at 5% significant level. Since all the
variables are stationary at first difference, therefore, it is a 1(1) stochastic process. The findings imply that it is
reasonable to proceed with test for co-integration relationship among combination of the series.
Co-integration tests
The summary of Johansson’ co-integration tests are presented in Table 4 (Appendix). The test rejects
the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance which proves the existence of co-integration relationship among
the variables of the model. This result thus indicates that in the long run, the dependent variables can efficiently
be predicted using the specified independent variables.

Granger causality tests
Table 5 (Appendix) presents the results of the pair wise Granger causality tests among the variables of
the model. The result depicts that the null hypothesis that independent variable do not granger causes on FDI
could be rejected safely at 1 percent level – a bi-directional relationship runs from independent variables to FDI
and vice versa. Specifically, a unidirectional relationship runs from GDP to FDINET, EXCH to FDINET and
INF to FDINET. This is consistent with the expectations and realities of the Nigerian economy. However,
Granger causality could not be established from POP to FDINET, TOP to FDINET and ETR to FDINET.
Discussion of findings
The model indicates that Net flow of FDI in Nigeria in a particular year is determined by first lag of
FDI in Nigeria and Effective Rate of Taxation although both of these variables had a negative impact on Net
Flow of FDI. This finding is in line with the conclusions arrived at by Mooij&Ederveen (2005), that most
empirical review on the relationship between tax incentives and FDI usually find a negative relationship
between the constructs although with the varied tax elasticity of FDI. It is also in line with the empirical work by
Agodo (1978) for 33 US manufacturing firms as well as findings of Hassett&Hubbard (2002) who averred that
investment incentives create significant distortions thus encouraging inefficient investment. Also, the result of
the study showed that there was no significant impact of trade openness, population, exchange rate, inflation,
and GDP on FDI in Nigeria. The results are thus in line with similar studies such as Nwankwo (2006) and
Babatunde&Adepeju (2012).
The coefficient of determination R2
is 0.641948 (Appendix 6), indicates that about 64 percent of the
total variations in measure of Net flow of FDI are explained by the variations in included independent variables.
This shows that our model explains large proportion of variations in Net flow of FDI in Nigeria. The model also
represents a good measure of fit. The F-statistic shows overall significance of the model. The F-statistic is
significant at 5% level. The results suggest the inflation rate (INF) has the correct sign and is significant at 5%.
More so, the Durbin Watson statistics shows that autocorrelation do not exist between the series of the
model. A unit change in trade openness, rate of exchange and inflation will culminate to an increase of 0.468,
0.0055 and 0.0065 unit change in Net flow of FDI in the short-run. The result further shows that in the short run,
a unit change in the GDP and Population Rate will induce 0.136 and 0.036 reduction in Net flow of FDI but
were not significant.
A crucial parameter in the estimation of the short-run dynamic model is the coefficient of the error-
correction term which measures the speed of adjustment of Net flow of FDI to its equilibrium level. Thus the
speed of adjustment coefficients is negative and significant. This indicates that any deviation from equilibrium
would be adjusted for in the next period at the rate of 52 percent.
V. Conclusion And Recomendations
This paper provides some observations taken from the empirical studies and examines the possible
effects of a change in tax policy on FDI in Nigeria. In theory, the fiscal incentives offered by a developing host
country which lower its effective tax rate will in most cases be effective in attracting the needed FDI. Using
linear regression analysis the result of the study indicates that response of FDI to tax incentives is negatively
significant. The above findings have important policy implications: dependence of tax incentive for Nigeria
should be significantly reduced. According to literature reviewed, Nigeria might be enjoying FDI because of the
vast availability of natural resources (oil and gas) as such loosing huge chunk of Nigerian finances to tax
incentives might instead have the negative effect that was shown. Thus it is suggested that other incentives such
as political risk, stable economic reforms should be considered as a pivot for FDI in Nigeria instead.
Furthermore, it is suggested that effects of tax incentives can be checked on disaggregated sectors such as
agriculture (Ironkwe& Peters, 2015) and manufacturing as on the whole decrease in revenue as a result of
incentives reduces FDI inflow in Nigeria.
