Abstract: | The effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on gross domestic product (GDP),
gross capital formation (GCF), exports and unemployment is examined in a panel of
six Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries over a time period
(1991-2015). Spatial patterns and/or unobserved common factors can be assumed to
be shared among these countries due to the presence of cross-sectional dependence.
A long run relationship between the variables is established through the co integration test. Due to the homogeneous characteristic of the panel data diagnostic
tests were conducted and the dynamic Driscoll-Kraay estimator, with fixed effects,
was shown to be satisfactory to produce robust results given the violation of some
assumptions in the panel like heteroscedasticty and cross-sectional dependence. The
results align with the hypothesis that FDI does generally have a positive and
significant effect on SADC.
Keywords: Macroeconomic variables, foreign direct investment, panel data, driscoll kraay estimator. ÖZ:Bu çalışmada, doğrudan yabancı yatırımların (FDI), gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla (GDP),
brüt sermaye oluşumu (GCF), ihracat ve işsizlik üzerine etkisini, Güney Afrika
Kalkınma Topluluğu’na (SADC) üye altı ülke için 1991 - 2015 dönemi verileri
kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmada, ülkeler arasında yatay kesit bağımlılığı
olduğundan dolayı mekânsal özellikler ve/veya gözlemlenemeyen ortak özellikler
olabileceği varsayılmaktadır. Değişkenler arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişki
eşbütünleşme testi ile kurulmuştur. Panel verinin homojen karakterinden dolayı
diagnostik testler yapılmıştır. Dinamik Driscoll-Kraay tahmincisi sabit etkileriyle
birlikte panelin önemli varsayımları (değişen varyans ve yatay kesit bağımlılığı) ihlal
edilmesine rağmen güçlü (tutarlı) sonuçlar ortaya koymuştur. Çalışma sonuçları,
doğrudan yabancı yatırımların Güney Afrika Kalkınma Topluluğu üyesi altı ülkeyi
genel olarak pozitif ve anlamlı olarak etkilediği hipotezini desteklemektedir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Makroekonomik değişkenler, doğrudan yabancı yatırım, panel
