Impact of Foreign Direct Investments flows on the economic growth of Sub Saharan Africa

This work conducts an empirical investigation on the relationship between inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth in the economies of the sub-Saharan African region. The analysis uses a fixed-effect model on a panel of 45 countries in the period 1990-2016. Our results do not allow us to conclude about the existence of a statistically significant relationship between FDI flows and economic growth of the countries in the region.
