Özet:

 

Foreign Direct Investment inflow has been perceived to promote economic
 stability of the host country through various economic benefits accrued from it.
 Empirical evidence, however, presents mixed and unclear results. In South Africa,
 poverty, unemployment, the urgent need to add to existing infrastructures and
 develop new crucial infrastructures to meet the ever-increasing population have
 become a challenge. The study attempted a time series analysis to investigate the
 effect of foreign direct investment inflow on employment and capital formation in
 for a time period of 1980-2014. Consequently, two multivariate models were
 estimated and two econometric analyses, co-integration and causality were carried
 out. The finding from the study shows that while there is a long-run relationship
 among variables in the employment models, it was not so in the gross capital
 formation model. The effect of FDI inflow on employment in the employment
 model was found to be positive but insignificant. No form of causality was found
 between FDI inflow and employment and between FDI inflow and gross capital
 formation. This study concludes that strategic policies that would stimulate and
 stabilize and FDI inflow into the economy should be formulated.
