dc.description.abstractForeign direct investment (FDI) inflow is considered the lifeline of the developing countries because it enhances the employment opportunities which increase the economic activities. The present study deals with FDI regulatory policies which influence the FDI inflows in developing countries. This study has tried to achieve the two objectives as to examine the FDI regulatory restrictiveness index (RRI) on FDI inflows and ease of doing business (EDB) on FDI inflows in the developing countries. To achieve these objectives, the panel data of 39 developing countries from 1997 to 2020 is used by using the FGLS econometric approach. The empirical results found that RRI proposes the U-shaped relationship to determine the FDI inflows. The linear affect found that all developing countries lie on the left side of the U-shaped curve which shows the inverse relationship between RRI and FDI inflows. Furthermore, this study also explores that EDB also propose U-shaped relationship to determine the FDI inflows. The linear affect shows that Azerbaijan, Brazil, Croatia, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Montenegro, Peru, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Thailand lie on the right side of the U-shaped curve which shows that EDB increases FDI inflows. This study recommends that developing should decline the FDI restriction and increase the opportunities of ease of doing businesses.
