العوامل الاقتصادية المحددة للاستثمار الاجنبي المباشر الخارج

Abstract

The attempt of the economic entities to increase the amounts of their
foreign investments (in order to achieve the highest incomes) has made them
subject to a list of economic variables which play an important role in
determining their sizes which have changed through the last twenty years
(relatively spearing upwards coping with the global economic changes)
these changes had negative impact on the hosting countries which include
developing countries. In order to discover and determine the key economic elements,
which govern direct foreign investments according to the first five countries
which export investments, the researcher has depended on the theoretical
bases and analytical studies which dealt with that type of investment, using
the amount method which is based on estimating the equation of the
algorithmic declaration of the direct foreign investment as a variable which
depend on a different group of economic variables. The researcher has used
data of sequences of periods from 1990 to 2006. The researcher found that
the rate of economic growth and interest rates in those countries had the
most important role in determining the investments. But the economic and
non-economic policies updated by the countries that want to attract high
level of direct foreign investment are still more important in attracting
investment towards these countries.
