The Nexus of FDI - Absorptive Capacity and GDP growth in Sub-Saharan Africa
(2014) EKHM51 20141Department of Economic History
- Abstract
- Within 10 years the outlook on Africa has shifted from a continent of destitute to the potential next new emerging market. This study is relevant in this regard to investigate to what extent SSA countries are reaping the benefits of foreign investment inflows and the absorptive capacities necessary to benefit from FDI. A cross sectional analysis was done on 34 countries in Sub-Sahara Africa for the period 1980 to 2012 using secondary data collected from the World Bank and UNCTAD. The findings further emphasize the ambiguity in empirical studies on the effects of FDI on economic growth.
