dc.description.abstract | This study explores the influence of foreign aid on foreign direct investment (FDI) in emerging markets using panel data analysis methods (fixed effects, fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS), and ordinary least squares (OLS)) with data from 2004 to 2019. It also examines whether financial development is a channel through which FDI is influenced by foreign aid in emerging markets using the same econometric estimation methods. Fixed effects and FMOLS indicate that foreign aid significantly improves FDI. However, contrary to the available literature, FMOLS and pooled OLS indicate that financial development significantly reduces FDI. The interaction between foreign aid and financial development did not show a significant impact on FDI across all three panel methods. Pooled OLS analysis shows that human capital development significantly enhances FDI. Furthermore, all the panel methods indicate that employment and infrastructure development positively influence FDI. Emerging markets also need to implement employment, human capital, and infrastructure development-enhancing policies and strategies to attract more and significant FDI inflows. They also need to implement policies that encourage the inflow of foreign aid to boost FDI. Future research should focus on estimating the optimal level of foreign aid needed to attract significant FDI into emerging markets. | en |
dc.description.abstract | W artykule zaprezentowano wynik badania wpływu pomocy zagranicznej na bezpośrednie inwestycje zagraniczne (BIZ) na rynkach wschodzących przy użyciu metod analizy danych panelowych – metody efektów stałych, w pełni zmodyfikowanej metody najmniejszych kwadratów (FMOLS) i zwykłej metody najmniejszych kwadratów (OLS) – na podstawie danych z lat 2004–2019. Zbadano również, przy użyciu tych samych metod szacowania ekonometrycznego, czy rozwój finansowy jest kanałem, za pośrednictwem którego pomoc zagraniczna na rynkach wschodzących wpływa na BIZ. Metoda efektów stałych i FMOLS wskazują, że pomoc zagraniczna ma znaczący pozytywny wpływ na BIZ. Jednak inaczej niż wynikałoby z dostępnej literatury, FMOLS i pooled OLS wskazują, że rozwój finansowy znacznie ogranicza BIZ. Interakcja między pomocą zagraniczną a rozwojem finansowym nie wykazała znaczącego wpływu na BIZ we wszystkich trzech metodach panelowych. Analiza pooled OLS pokazuje, że rozwój kapitału ludzkiego znacznie zwiększa BIZ. Co więcej, wszystkie metody panelowe wskazują, iż zatrudnienie i rozwój infrastruktury pozytywnie wpływają na BIZ. Rynki wschodzące muszą również wdrażać polityki i strategie sprzyjające zatrudnieniu, kapitałowi ludzkiemu i rozwojowi infrastruktury, aby spowodować większy i znaczący napływ bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych. Muszą również wdrożyć politykę, która będzie zachęcać do napływu pomocy zagranicznej w celu zwiększenia bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych. Przyszłe badania powinny koncentrować się na oszacowaniu optymalnego poziomu pomocy zagranicznej niezbędnej do przyciągnięcia znacznych BIZ na rynki wschodzące. | pl |
