Economic Determinants of Inflows of FDI in Pakistan

Abstract

    An attempt is made in this study to determine the major indicators of the inflow of FDI into Pakistan economy. Data from the time period 1985 to 2019 was used in this research. The level of stationary was checked through Augmented Dickey Fuller and Philips Perron tests. Using the analysis of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL), it is identified that GDP, Inflation, Annual Average Exchange Rate and population Growth have a positive (significant) effect on FDI. Moreover, the empirical results also identified a negative but significant effect of financial development on FDI.
