초록

지난 수십년간 외국인직접투자의 역할은 증가하여 왔다. 특히, 동아시아와 BRICs는 외국인직접투자를 통해 급속한 경제발전을 이룩하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 많은 개발도상국들은 빈곤에서 벗어나지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 논문은 외국인직접투자와 개발도상국의 경제적 성과를 살펴보고자 1990년부터 2011년 기간 동안 88개 개발도상국을 대상으로 외국인직접투자를 명시적으로 포함하는 확장된 신고전학파적 솔로우 모형을 이용하여 분석하고자 한다. 분석결과, 외국인직접투자는 개발도상국의 경제적 성과에 유의하게 기여한다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

For the past decades, role of foreign direct investment has increased. Specially, East Asia and BRICs has experienced rapidly economic growth by FDI. Nevertheless, most of developing countries suffer from poverty. This paper empirically explores the impacts of FDI on economic output using a cross-country analysis based on data from 88 developing countries for the years 1990-2011. To this end, FDI is explicitly included in production function as production factor. Cross-country regression of income level is estimated with the country's human development, population growth, physical accumulation, and FDI as explanatory variables. Main finding of this paper is that FDI has a positive and significant impact on economic growth.
