“…On the other hand, the estimated elasticity of inflation (macroeconomic stability) is negative and statistically significant with magnitude greater than unity, indicating that the FDI inflow to the manufacturing sector is highly sensitive to changes in inflation in the long-run. These findings are consistence with that of Haile and Assefa (Haile, Assefa, 2006), Sunday andLydie (2006), andGharaibeh (2015) who concluded that increase in the market size is conducive for attracting FDI to the host countries but increase in inflation is regressive.

“…Nevertheless, exchange rate, political risk, inflation rate, debt burden, and the creation of an exportprocessing zone did not have any influence on FDI inflow to the country. Moreover, Gharaibeh (2015) found that general government consumption expenditures, inflation rates, annual interest rates, labor force, trade openness, population growth, and public education exerted statistically significant positive impact on inward FDI in Bahrain.…”

The purpose of the research presented in the article is to study the impact of the institutional environment on the inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the Ethiopian manufacturing sector. The study uses time series data from 1992 to 2021. using an autoregressive approach. The results show that the development of a right-wing society, along with political stability and a reduction in crime, are two factors of the institutional environment that have a positive and significant impact on the inflow of FDI into the manufacturing sector in the long term. However, the effectiveness of the government had a negative effect. In the short term, the rule of law, control over corruption and the quality of regulation have become factors in the institutional environment that have significantly influenced FDI inflows into the Ethiopian manufacturing sector. The study shows that an enabling institutional environment increases FDI inflows into Ethiopia’s manufacturing sector in both the long and short term. Therefore, it is extremely important for Ethiopia to improve the efficiency of public institutions and strengthen the domestic legal framework and legislation. This will help reduce political instability and promote greater accountability and transparency among government officials, thereby attracting more foreign direct investment from developed and developing countries. Moreover, due to its strategically preferred location in the Horn of Africa and the huge number of available and trained workforce, as well as the improvement of the institutional environment suitable for business, Ethiopia is very attractive as an investment destination.

“…If the available manpower does not meet the demands of foreign investors. Research conducted by Gharaibeh, 2015;Zeb et al, (2014) found that the level of labor force participation has a negative effect hurts in addition, research from Zamzami et al, (2015) revealed that foreign direct investment can hurt the level of hurt If the investment provided by foreign investors wants the labor used to come from their country, in other words, do not use domestic workers.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the causal relationship as well as the long-term and short-term relationship between total energy consumption, foreign direct investment (FDI), and labor force participation rates in OECD countries from 1994 to 2019 using Granger Causality Test and Vector Error Correction Model (VCEM). In this study, it is found that energy consumption and FDI have a two-way causality, energy consumption and the labor force participation rate have a two-way causality and FDI and the labor force participation rate have a two-way causality. In the long term, FDI has a significant positive effect on energy consumption while labor force participation has an insignificant negative effect on energy consumption. Meanwhile, in the short term, FDI and labor force participation rates have no effect. This research contributes to decision-making in the field of energy, FDI, and improving the quality and quantity of the workforce in OECD countries.

“…Moreover, the long-term results of the panel ARDL analysis on the emerging market economies showed that increases in foreign direct investment had a statistically significant and positive effect on the women's labor force participation rate. Gharaibeh (2015) conducted a study to identify the main determinants of FDI inflows into a host country. The study showed that general government consumption expenditures, inflation rate, economic stability represented by annual interest rate, labor force, openness to trade, public education, and welfare of the country represented by the population have statistically significant effects on the foreign direct investment inflows to Bahrain.…”

This study examines the relationship between energy consumption, foreign direct investment, and labor force participation rate in Kazakhstan for the 1991-2021 period. Data on energy consumption are retrieved from the enerdata website, and data on foreign direct investment and labor force participation rate from the World Bank website. The Vector Error Correction Model (VCEM) method was used for data analysis. Research findings have shown that foreign direct investments have an effect on energy consumption for Kazakhstan both in the long run and the short run. The study found that although the labor force participation rate has an effect on energy consumption in the short term, it has no effect in the long term. These results are also important in terms of indirectly showing the long-term effects of foreign direct investments on the economy. The study used annual series for all three variables. Another important subject of study for explaining this relationship may be the use of series in different periods (especially quarterly).
