dc.description.abstractThis research indicated the foreign direct investment inward in SAARC region and then studied the causal relationship of FDI inward with the three different indexes (i.e human development index, competitive index and corruption index) and also investigated the impact of FDI inward on economic growth. The main focus of this thesis is SAARC member states. Panel data was used as sample data that consists of observations from a number of countries in time series manner. Five countries (Pakistan, Nepal, Sri-Lanka, India and Bangladesh) from South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation covering period of 1995-2012 were selected. Fixed effect and random effect models were used for data analyses to draw conclusions. Economic competitiveness had strong negative relationship with foreign direct investment. Corruption showed negative strong relationship with foreign direct investment. Human resource development has a positive relationship with foreign direct investment inward. Foreign direct investment inward has a negative effect on the economic growth but the coefficient value 7.75E-11 shows this effect is so minor that it can be considered as no effect.en_US
