2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Per-Olof Bjuggren and deputy supervisor Andreas Högberg for the help, guidance and support during the process of writing this thesis. I would like to thank especially to my parents, my brother, my boyfriend and my daughter Asya for their great patience. Without their support, love and encouragement I would not finish my Bachelor thesis. June, 2009, Jönköping, Sweden Bengü Kaya i

The effect of FDI in Turkey is introduced in the second part. And in the last part the previous empirical studies are presented. 2.1 Turkey s Economy 2.2 Overview of FDI in Turkey

14 8 3 Theoretical Framework This section is divided into six parts. First part gives brief different definitions of FDI. In the second part types of FDI are introduced. The following part presents advantages and disadvantages of the FDI inflows by the view of MNEs and host country. The fourth part presents the theories of FDI and growth. The most common used FDI theory, eclectic paradigm, is presented in the fifth part with its specific advantage stages. And finally in the sixth part location advantages of Turkey is introduced. 3.1 Definition of FDI 3.2 Different Types of FDI

20 14 4 Method 2 The explanatory variables did not give any significant results on the dependent variable. Due to getting the best result all variables are lagged one year.

22 16 5 Empirical Analysis In the first part of this section descriptive data of GDP growth and FDI inflows are presented. The log-run and short-run relationship of economic growth and FDI is analyzed in the second part. And finally in the last part the regression model analysis is presented. 5.1 Descriptive Data 5.2 Granger Causality

33 27 8 Appendices 8.1 Determinants of international products Types of international production Ownership advantages Location advantages Internalization advantages Strategic goals of MNEs Types of activity that favor MNEs re- seek- Natural source ing Capital, technology, access to markets. Possession of natural resources. To ensure stability of supplies at right price; control markets. To gain privileged access to resources vis-avis competitors. Oil, copper, bauxite, bananas, hotels. Market seeking Capital, technology, management and organizational skills; surplus R&D and other capacity; economies of scale; trademarks. Material and labor costs; market size; government policy. Wish to reduce high transaction or information costs, buyer uncertainty, etc; to protect property rights. To protect existing markets, counteract behavior of competitors; to preclude rivals from gaining new markets. Computers, pharmaceuticals, motor vehicles, cigarettes Efficiency seeking As above but also access to markets. Low labor costs incentives to local production by host governments. The economies of vertical integration As part of regional or global product rationalization and to gain advantages of process specialization. Consumer electronics, textiles and clothing, cameras, etc. Strategic asset seeking Any of first three that offer opportunities for synergy with existing assets Any of first three that offer technology, markets and other assets in which firm is deficient Economies of common governance; improved competitive or strategic advantage; to reduce risks. To strengthen global innovatory or production competitiveness; to gain new product lines or markets. Industries that record a high ratio of fixed to overhead costs and which offer substantial economies of scale. Adopted from Dunning 1980, 1993

34 Summary of Previous Studies Author Data Method Result Balasubramanyam et al. (1996) Cross-section data,46 developing countries between OLS regressions. FDI has positive effect on export supported countries rather than import substituting Borensztein et al. (1998) Cross-section data, 69 countries between Regression analysis. FDI and growth are positively related if the host country has high level of human capital Alfaro et al. (2004) Panel data, data set of credit market and equity market indicators in OECD and non- OECD countries between OLS regression. FDI affects the growth positively, if the country has good financial market Chowdhury and Mavrotas (2006) Time series, Chile, Malaysia and Thailand between Toda and Yamamoto causality test FDI and growth affect each other only in Chile; other two countries have only bidirectional causality. Johnson (2005) Cross-section and panel data. 90 developing and developed countries between 1990 and 2002 OLS regression and REM FDI inflow and domestic investment have positive effects on economic growth in developing countries but not in developed ones. FDI is affected by corruption negatively in developing countries. Hansen and Rand (2006) Panel data, 31 countries between Granger causality test If the gross capital of FDI increases, the growth will increase too. Pramadhani et al. (2007) Cross-section data, Indonesia between Granger causality test FDI and exports are positively related. Busse Groizard (2008) and Panel data, 84 countries between Cross-country growth regression, generalized method of moments (GMM) Growth and FDI have limited relation by government regulations. Carkovic and Levine (2002) Panel and crosssection data, 72 countries between OLS and GMM FDI inflow has no effect on growth.

35 29 Dutt (1997) Cross-country data, North- South countries between GLS There is no significant relationship between FDI and growth. Basu et al. (2003) Panel data, selected 23 developing countries, between Two-way causality test In closed economy the short-run causality is bidirectional but in the longrun it is from growth to FDI. De (1997) Mello Survey Analysis The direction of causality between FDI and economic growth depend on the impacts of FDI determinants. De (1999) Mello Cross section data, 32 OECD and non- OECD Causality test In the non-oecd countries FDI and growth have no significant relationship. 8.3 Turkey s location advantages for FDI rights Key location factors Market seeking FDI Economic size Economic growth Population size Per capita incomes Efficiency seeking FDI Labor cost Labor productivity Regional integration zone Labor skills and supply Asset seeking FDI Supply of engineers and technicians R&D and innovation base FDI enabling environment Independent FDI Privatization FDI Facilitation process Political commitment Incentives Investment promotion Institutional-Political environment Economic stability Policy certainty Political interference and corruption Justice system and intellectual property Internal social tensions Competitive position Strong Strong Strong Medium Strong Strong Strong Strong Strong Weak Strong Weak Medium Weak Strong Weak Weak Weak Weak Weak Weak Adopted from Loewendahl & E-Loewendahl (2001) 8.4 Correlation Matrix of FDI and Growth Correlation FDI GROWTH FDI GROWTH
