Title Foreign Direct Investments and Reforms in Albania (1998-2014)
Summary The main focus of this paper is the influence of Governmental reforms in attracting FDI. I conducted research on the 2006 Albanian Governmental reforms that were meant to attract FDI. Empirical estimation is done on time series data provided by the Bank of Albania and regression discontinuity is applied in order to estimate the total effect of the reforms. In this thesis I used two methods of estimation. GMM method showed to be superior to OLS as endogeneity issues made OLS biased. In the case of Albania the statistical results show a significant positive effect of such reforms in attracting FDI.
