Interdisciplinary Management Research, 2010, vol. 6, 489-498

Abstract: Foreign direct investment is generally considered to be an instrument how to stimulate economic growth of any country. Just because of this purpose governments of transition countries try to encourage the inflow of foreign direct investment by various measures. The aim of this paper is to analyse the relation between foreign direct investment, economic growth and export in Slovenia. For this purpose we apply cointegration analysis along with the vector error correction model. The results confirm the existence of a long-term relation between the variables analysed. We reveal a positive impact of GDP and impact of foreign direct investment on export.
