Ecological Footprint, Economic Uncertainty and Foreign Direct Investment in South Africa: Evidence From Asymmetric Cointegration and Dynamic Multipliers in a Nonlinear ARDL Approach

Magdalene Williams et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the impact of ecological footprint, exchange rate, and bio-capacity on foreign direct investment in South Africa. The findings show that there is a significant symmetric relationship between FDI, ecological footprint, biocapacity, and exchange rate in the short run. Non-linear short-term results reveal that positive shock from ecological footprint has a significant positive effect on FDI, while positive shock from exchange rate affects FDI negatively. In the long run, the negative shock of exchange rate on FDI is negative, while the positive shock of exchange rate affects FDI positively. The study emphasizes the importance of implementing policies that ensure environmental sustainability and stable exchange rates while promoting economic growth in South Africa.
