Does Foreign Direct Investment Influence Economic Growth In Rapidly Growing Economies? An Examination of China and India (2012)

The purpose of the dissertation project is to empirically determine if Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) influences economic growth in rapidly growing economies? With emphasis placed upon China and India – both economies have seen exponential economic growth over the past decade. Both China and India have seen an abnormally high inflow of capital in several forms during the past few decades. Why such an inflow and what had inculcated the investors to adopt such a project in these countries?

This dissertation focuses in brief, the reason for such a massive undertaking by the multinationals. The dissertation undertaken also investigates the significant role of FDI among the other determinants of economic growth in these countries. For the purpose data’s for the last 39 years are taken into consideration. Methodology used consists of graphical representation and regression analysis. Graphical analysis is used to show the relationship between FDI and economic growth in INDIA and China.

From the graph it is clear that there is a positive relationship between FDI and GDP in China and they move in the same direction, while it is opposite in the case of India. To prove this a linear regression method is used with the help of SPSS. The results so obtained suggest that FDI has a positive impact on China and a less, but a positive impact on India’s economic growth. The dissertation will also:

  • Evaluate the contribution of FDI in economic growth
