Abstract
Purpose of the study: The main objective of this study is basically to investigate the impact of rule of law on FDI inflow for a panel of six selected SSA countries comprising, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Senegal, Nigeria, Congo Republic, and Sudan.
Methodology: The study utilized the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) dynamic heterogeneous panel approach covering the period 1996 – 2017.
Main Findings: The results indicate that adherence to the rule of law is directly related to the inflow of FDI in the selected countries in the long-run, whereas its impact is insignificant on FDI during the short-run.
Applications of this study: The study is useful to SSA countries since it will provide policymakers with the necessary insight to formulate appropriate policies to effectively promote adherence to the rule of law with a view to boost foreign investors’ confidence in the economies and stimulate the inflow of FDI.
Novelty/Originality of this study: This paper is amongst the first to utilize the PMG dynamic heterogeneous panel approach to explore the relationship of rule of law with the inflow of FDI in the six SSA countries.
