MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper has investigated the macroeconomic determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in Bangladesh by using a period of 1975-2015 and by using ARDL technique for estimation. The cointegration has been proved in the empirical exercise. Further, income, democracy and interest rate are showing positive impact on FDI inflows. But, trade openness is showing a negative influence on FDI inflows. Therefore, this paper recommends some qualitative checks on trade for FDI inflows; promotion in Bangladesh.
