Geographical determinants of foreign direct investment: evidence from sub-Saharan Africa

Edmund Kwablah et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the time-invariant geographical determinants of FDI in Sub-Saharan Africa. The findings suggest that factors such as geographical size and being located within the tropics have a positive and statistically significant impact on FDI, while the distance from the sea has a negative and statistically significant impact. Disaggregation of the sample into sub-regions provides consistent evidence to support these claims. The study recommends that SSA countries leverage their geographical factors to create common market opportunities in order to maximize the potential for FDI growth.
