Human rights, political instability and investment in South Africa: a note

David Fielding

No 2001-04, CSAE Working Paper Series from Centre for the Study of African Economies, University of Oxford

Abstract: This paper extends the model of Fielding (1999), which is designed to explain changes in investment in South Africa during the Apartheid period, by allowing a role for indicators of political instability and political and civil rights, as measured by Fedderke et al. (1999). The conclusions based on estimation of the original model are robust to the inclusion of the political factors, but these factors do explain some of the variation in investment over time.
