| Title | The effect of inward foreign direct investments on export performance of developing countries: evidence from nine members of CIS |
| Summary | The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the influence of inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the export performance of nine CIS countries by using annual aggregate level data over the period of 1995 and 2008. The results reveal significant negative effects of the lagged FDI variables. Although three different methods were employed in order to obtain reliable results, it cannot be claimed that all factors affecting FDI-export relationship have been taken into account in the study, which implies that there is still room for improving the model. It’s suggested that the effect can change in future stages of development of the countries. Inward FDI is believed to have potential positive spillover effects over host countries’ economies, which can be tested in future researches through separating them from direct effects resulting from additional capital supply into exportation sector. |
