摘要

本研究考察了外国直接投资(FDI)对加纳就业和经济增长的影响,并考察了技术在这些关系中的作用。本研究采用自回归分布滞后(ARDL)界检验方法对1995 - 2017年的数据进行协整检验和格兰杰因果检验。基于实证分析,主要发现如下:FDI不影响加纳的经济增长或就业。然而,技术在短期内调节了外国直接投资与经济增长以及外国直接投资与就业之间的关系。研究还发现,技术在短期和长期对加纳的经济增长都有积极的影响,而贸易对加纳的经济增长有显著的负面影响。研究限制/启示作者面临的最大限制是数据的不可获得性。实际影响应使GIPC法案中规定的技术转让协议更加健全和明确,使其成为允许跨国公司在加纳经营的严格要求。这增加了加纳从外国直接投资流入中获得的收益。社会影响GIPC应加强其监测制度,以确保跨国公司不会超过其外派就业配额。这将减轻加纳青年失业的负担。原创性/价值本研究通过考察技术在FDI与增长、FDI与就业之间关系中的作用,为研究FDI对新兴经济体影响的文献增加了一个新的维度。

Foreign direct investment, technological transfer, employment generation and economic growth: new evidence from Ghana
PurposeThis study examines the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on employment and economic growth in Ghana and examines the role of technology in these relationships.Design/methodology/approachThis study applied the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration and Granger causality tests to data from 1995 to 2017.FindingsBased on the empirical analysis, the key findings are as follows: FDI does not affect economic growth or employment in Ghana. However, technology moderates the relationship between FDI and economic growth and FDI and employment in the short run. The study also finds that technology exerts a positive effect on economic growth in both short and long run, whereas trade has a significantly negative effect on economic growth in Ghana.Research limitations/implicationsThe greatest constraint that faced the authors is the nonavailability of data,.Practical implicationsThe transfer of technology agreement enshrined in the GIPC Act should be made more robust and unambiguous, to make it a strict requirement for MNEs to be allowed to operate in Ghana. This increases Ghana's gains from FDI inflow.Social implicationsThe GIPC should tighten its monitoring regime so that MNEs do not exceed their expatriate employment quotas. This will ease the burden of unemployment among the youth in Ghana.Originality/valueThis study adds a new dimension to the literature on the impact of FDI on emerging economies by examining the role of technology in the association between FDI and growth, and FDI and employment.
