| description | There are a lot of studies on the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on
economic growth. FDI is believed to have beneficial effects on the economy, and plays
an important role as a catalyst in stimulating growth and development in host countries.
In this study we examine the impact of FDI on economic growth, and we also examine
the impact of two components of FDI including Greenfield FDI and Mergers and
Acquisitions (M&A) FDI on economic growth. In regression analyses, this study
employs three techniques of the econometric approach to examine the impact of FDI on
economic growth. They are cross sectional, panel data, and generalized method of
moment (GMM) to deal with endogeneity problem. Using the large sample that consist
of 203 countries including 162 developing countries and 41 developed countries over
period 1991-2010, we compare different effects of FDI including overall of FDI,
Greenfield FDI, and M&A FDI in both developing and developed countries. Different
techniques that are employed in the regression analyses produce different result each
other. Cross sectional regressions shows that FDI and its components have insignificant
impact on growth, although the coefficient is still positive. This suggests that there is no
evidence that overall FDI promotes economic growth in long-term. Panel regression
with fixed effect on four-year average shows that FDI and Greenfield have positive and
significant on growth, while M&A is insignificant. The results prove that investment
with new asset can assist the host countries to gain better economy that the existing ones.
For system GMM result, in developing countries, FDI and Greenfield have positive and
significant effect on economic growth. It argues that developing countries need
investment in new asset form to encourage their economy. Meanwhile, in developed
countries, only M&A has positive and significant, while Greenfield has negative and
insignificant impact on economic growth. It shows that M&A can give contribution for
economy in develop countries. Combining the regression result and the Indonesia
condition, we can abstract relevant policy implication to catch positive impact of FDI on
economic growth in Indonesia. |
