“…Staats and Biglaiser (2012) find that judicial strength and rule of law are important determinants of FDI in Latin American countries. Olson (1996) always argued in favor of a strong and independent legal system.…”

“…An independent judiciary ensures that future changes of government policies will not affect business arbitrarily. A court-enforced constitutionalization of rights makes change more difficult, costly and slow, hence, boosts confidence of the investors (Staats and Biglaiser 2012). Moreover, strong judicial system also ensures political stability, which foreign investors always favor and is expected to enhance growth.…”

The paper explores the relationships between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), institution and economic growth for a group of eighteen Middle East and North African (MENA) countries. For a sample of 18 countries covering from 2006 to 2012, we identify the positive and significant roles of foreign direct investment and institutions on the economic growth of these countries. Specifically, we find transparent government, less risk in operating business, and judicial independence provides positive support to growth in presence of FDI in these countries. We derive our results using panel data analysis. Our alternative estimation techniques and methods confirm the robustness of our findings.

“…10 The dominant view is that good governance aids FDI (Ayal and Karras 1996;Globerman and Shapiro 2003;Biglaiser and DeRouen 2006;Gani 2007;Staats and Biglaiser 2012). 11 However, poor governance can also lead to more foreign investments if combined with high levels of corruption (Bellos and Subasat 2012).…”

ForewordSustainable energy transitions involve the shift of resources between competing industrial sectors and political constituencies. Stakeholders in this process have varying degrees of political and economic power, and understanding how political economic factors influence clean energy transitions is crucial to effective policy formulation and facilitating transitions to sustainable energy systems. In partnership with the Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA), UNU-WIDER gathered together a substantial group of experts from around the world-from both developed and developing countries-to launch a multidisciplinary research project seeking to contribute to our enhanced understanding of these factors. The project sought to facilitate an energy transition that will generate very large environmental and economic benefits, particularly over the long run. The beneficiaries of clean energy transitions are highly diffuse and include future generations not yet born. This book is the distilled essence of the cross-cutting academic project. I express my sincere and professional appreciation to the large group of expert authors for their dedication to the project, and to my fellow editors in helping bring together the book for readers to enjoy and absorb along with the findings and policy implications.

Abstract-The purpose of this study is to analyze the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in countries. An attraction of FDI makes job creation, economic revitalization and the transfer of advanced technology to the country. It would be the base of development that affects macro-economics. In other words, that can be seen as a direct economic growth driver. In order to attract investment, the countries compete each other strategically. There are a lot of researches which has been carried out for FDI. However, this study was conducted due to the insufficiency of the research about ODA and governance factors regarding the relationship of the FDI. For this study, I employed the fixed-effected model and random-effected model based on panel data for countries. In this study, diverse variables such as economic variables, policy variables and governance variables were employed. The findings from this study show that most of variables such as governance, political factor and economic factor have consistent signs with significancy. ODA variables have a impact on FDI. IndexTerms-Foreign direct investment, official development assistance, governance, Korea, panel analysis.
