Abstract

The importance of the research is to identify the determinants of foreign direct investment in Algeria and to determine them accurately based on previous studies. We used a model of regression Multiple to identify significant determinants of FDI in the period 1990-2017. The results indicate having a positive and significant effect for both the GDP and economic openness on the outside world. Moreover, the effect negative significant for inflation and economic openness (LNINF1LNOPNESSG). The effect was positive but not significant for the increase in population and GDP per capita. Some of the variables that could affect the results and give better results neglected and this is considered a deficiency in this research and could be problematic for future research. Decision-makers in Algeria can benefit from the results of this research to attract the most foreign direct investment. The study period and the method of estimating the model for the case of Algeria considered as a gap that can add new to the subject of foreign direct investment in Algeria.
