Abstract

The paper examined the determinants of foreign direct investment inflows in OPEC countries. This paper aims to find out the major determinants of foreign direct investment in the periods 1985 - 2014 using the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) and panel data. The results show that GDP, exchange rate, imports, FDI in previous periods and gross fixed capital formation have had a positive and significant effect and government size has a negative and significant effect on FDI inflow in OPEC. Also, inflation and economic openness have no significant effect on FDI.
