The impacts of foreign direct investment inflows in Bric conturies
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2013) Abaylı, Ayşegül; Aybar, Sedat
Over the 1990s, most developing countries considered a series of market reforms, including the opening of their capital accounts. The role of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the growth process has been recognized by policy makers. Capital Flows could affect domestic investment in several ways. Firstly, FDI contributes directly to new plant and equipment, the so-called ?greenfield? FDI. Secondly, due to linkages between firms, FDI may deliver spillover investment, beyond any direct increase in their capital stock. For instance, multinational corporations (MNCs) may utilize inputs from domestic suppliers, creating an investment opportunity for local firms. While most studies in the literature claim that Foreign Direct Investment inflows have a significantly positive effect on economic growth via technology diffusion or the formation of human capital, opponent emphasize the lack of empirical evidence. It can be argued that higher FDI Inflows have provided the recent, relatively stable, growth rates seen in BRIC countries, but will it be possible to observe any macroeconomic stabilization in the long-run as a result of FDI Inflows? The main purpose of this study to explain the FDI Inflows? linkages and direction, and the associated macroeconomic factors.
