Journal Title: Asian Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of Japanese foreign direct investment on the economic growth of South Africa over the period 1996-2016. The study employed the Autoregressive Distribute Lagged (ARDL) bound test to investigate the long-run relationship between the study variables. The results show that Japanese foreign direct investment has a direct positive and statistically significant effect on South Africa economic growth. In policy terms, the government of South Africa should sustain the institutional reform policy agenda already in place in order to benefit more from the significant inflows of Japanese foreign direct investment.
