Abstract
One of the most recent issues has been the relationship between foreign direct investment and economic development in host economies. This paper examines the nonlinear relationship between economic growth, foreign direct investment, domestic investment, and financial development using annual time series data from 1970 to 2019. We used the nonlinear auto-regressive distribution lag (NARDL) co-integration technique. The results show the positive effects of FDI and DI are more significant than the negative effects and follow a nonlinear direction. As a result, policymakers should tighten their hold on FDI channelling and effectively enforce regulations in order to boost Pakistan's economic development.
期刊介绍:
IJEBR addresses economics/business issues that are clearly applicable to private profit-making entities and/or to public policy institutions. It considers all aspects of economics and business, including those combining business and economics with other fields of inquiry. IJEBR, unlike its sister title, Global Business and Economics Review, does not require that authors write papers about the impact/implications of, "globalisation". Instead, it publishes papers with local, national, regional and international implications. IJEBR is sponsored by the Business and Economics Society International.
