| dc.description.abstract | More recently, due to the globalization process and the increasing roles of Multinational Corporation in economic development, many empirical literatures have been tryi ng to take into account the effects of not only the classical factors: but also the various institutional issues which affect considerably the For flow in the host countries. So, the objective of this paper is to explore the major accesses to FDl flow to the Sub Saharan Africa countries by focu sing on main institutional factors, and other conventional variables in For flow to the region. For this purpose, we employed two panel model techniques: the fixed effect and dynamic panel model (the system GMM estimator of Arellano and Bover (1995) and Blundell and Bond (1998)) by utili zing the data of 32 SSA countries covering the period 1994-20 I O. Our findings reveal that among the in stitutional quality variables ( regulatory quality), past level of inward FDI, market size, openness, natural resource availability, financial development if supported by regulatory quality are found to be important derivers of FDI flow to the region. Conversely measures in control of corrupt ion, the existing rule of law, macroeconomic condition (i.e. inflation and exchange rate) and infrastructural situation are found to be insignificant for the region's FDI flow. To increase For flow to the region policy makers (economic administers) of the region need to strive to improve and amend their policy regarding their institutions: rule of law, the way to control corruption, develop infrastructures, improve macroeconomic condition and should diversify and develop their economies. | en_US |
