| Abstract | In this study, we consider the impact of financial depth (FD) on foreign direct investment (FDI) in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). The data were obtained in 8 Asian EMDEs including Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, and China. In the analysis, we adopted the panel threshold regression which is superior to other traditional models, especially in analyzing the nonlinear relationship between variables. Therefore, we expected to reveal more unprecedented findings. The results report that FD has a nonlinear effect on FDI with the threshold value γ = 82.9%. Specifically, if FD reaches the threshold γ, FD is positively associated with FDI. This correlation turns to be negative but at a lower level beyond the threshold value. In addition, we reveal the positive impact of economic growth (EG) and inflation (INF) on FDI. This confirms the importance of FD and macroeconomic factors in attracting FDI into EMDEs. |
