ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of sectoral Foreign Direct Investment on economic growth in Nigeria making use of time series data for the period 1981-2018. An Auto-regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique (with emphasis on short run estimates) is used to examine the relationship for series that are I(0) and I(1). The study considers five FDI sectors which includes: Telecommunication infrastructures, oil, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Services and other infrastructures sectors as its variables representing sectoral foreign direct investment while Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is employed as a proxy for economic growth.
The study observes no long run relationship between sectoral FDI and economic growth. Hence, short run estimation without accounting for adjustment mechanism is estimated. The results shows that Telecommunication infrastructures FDI, Services FDI and other infrastructures FDI are significant to economic growth. However, only Telecommunication infrastructures FDI spurs economic growth while Services FDI and other infrastructures FDI drag economic growth in Nigeria.
Conclusively, this study recommends that government should ensure stable macroeconomic policies as a stabilization tool to prompt the attraction of more FDI into Nigeria and dependency on foreign direct investment should remain limited.
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION
- Background to the Study
Over the previous insufficient year, the role of Foreign Direct investment (FDI hereafter) has been recognized as a growth-enhancing factor in the developing countries. FDI is recognized as a substance for output growth, capital accretion, and technological progress seems to be a less contentious hypothesis in theory than in practice. (Campos and Kinoshita, 2002) The effect of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on economic growth seems to have acquired position of formalized fact in the international economics literature. The effects of FDI in the host economy are normally believed to be increase in the employment, increase in productivity, and increase in exports and, of course, increased pace of transfer of technology.
Foreign Direct investment (FDI) helps fill the domestic revenue-generation gap in a developing economy, given that in most developing countries, governments do not seem to be able to generate sufficient revenue to meet their expenditure needs’ is said to be a vehicle for transfer of technology – both the technology embodied in goods, services, people, organizational arrangements, and those embodied in blueprints, designs, technical documents, and in the content of innumerable types of training.
Total streams of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to Nigeria, drop into diverse classified divisions of the economy. FDI includes a noteworthy effect on yield of the economy but that the development effects of FDI contrast over segments. As sound as the discoveries of such ponders show up, the development impacts that FDI streams make
on each division of the economy are, be that as it may, veiled (Sunday et al., 2007). Foreign Direct Investment inflows have been developing massively over the course of the final decade: from USD1.14 billion in 2001 and USD2.1 billion in 2004, Nigeria’s FDI come to USD11 billion in 2009 concurring to UNCTAD, making the country the nineteenth most prominent beneficiary of FDI within the world. Nigeria’s most imperative sources of FDI have customarily been connected with the oil segment. During the past two decades, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has risen as the foremost imperative source of external asset streams to most nations particularly creating nations over a long time and has ended up as significant part of capital formation in these countries. The part of the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been broadly recognized as a growth-enhancing calculate in the creating nations (Khan, 2007).
The effect of FDI within the have economy are regularly believed to be; increment within the work level, increase within the productivity, boosting trades and increased pace of exchange of innovation. The potential focal points of the FDI on the have economy are: it encourages the utilization and misuse of neighborhood crude materials, presents present day strategies of administration and promoting, facilitates the get to modern innovations, foreign inflows can be used for financing current account shortfalls, back streams in frame of FDI don’t produce reimbursement of vital and interface (as contradicted to outside obligation) and increments the stock of human capital by means of on the work preparing.
