Abstract

The aim of this study is to empirically analyze the effect of corruption and country risk on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. The study was carried out using the data of 49 developing countries for the 2002–2015 period. Relationships between the variables were investigated by static and dynamic panel data methods. This empirical analysis revealed the following general findings: i) a decline in corruption and country risk positively affects FDI inflows; ii) financial risk, which is a component of country risk, has no significant effect on FDI inflows, whereas a fall in the level of economic and political risk accelerates FDI inflows; iii) FDI inflows are most sensitive to economic risk. Based on these results, it can be said that developing countries can attract more FDI by creating a quality institutional structure, effectively fighting corruption, and creating sound macroeconomic policies that improve the investment climate and reduce cost, uncertainty, and risk perception.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yolsuzluk ve ülke riskinin doğrudan yabancı yatırım (DYY) girişleri üzerindeki etkisini ampirik olarak analiz etmektir. Gelişmekte olan 49 ülkenin 2002-2015 dönemine ait verileri kullanılarak yapılan çalışmada, değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler statik ve dinamik panel veri yöntemleri ile araştırılmıştır. Ampirik analizin ortaya koyduğu genel bulgulara göre; i) yolsuzluk ve ülke riskindeki azalma DYY girişlerini yönde pozitif etkilemektedir. ii) ülke riskinin bileşenlerinden finansal risk DYY girişleri üzerinde anlamlı etki yaratmazken, ekonomik ve politik risk düzeyindeki azalma DYY girişlerini hızlandırmaktadır. iii) DYY girişleri en çok ekonomik riske karşı duyarlıdır. Bu sonuçlardan hareketle, gelişmekte olan ülkelerin daha fazla DYY çekebilmelerinin kaliteli bir kurumsal yapının oluşturularak yolsuzluklarla etkin biçimde mücadele edilmesinin yanı sıra, yatırım ortamını iyileştirici, maliyet, belirsizlik ve risk algısını azaltıcı sağlam makroekonomik politikalar yoluyla mümkün olabileceği ifade edilebilir.
