Abstract: This article investigates the relationship between institutional quality and foreign direct investment (FDI) in Morocco using a large set of institutional quality variables over the period 1970–2016. The study uses ARDL bounds testing approach with structural breaks and Granger causality. The analysis is then extended to the disaggregated sub-components to discern the inherent dynamics of institutional quality. The study finds several relationships between FDI and various aspects of institutional quality. Results from both models conclude with policy recommendations.
