Natural Resources and Foreign Direct Investment in Africa: Evidence from Chinese Firms
The rise of China’s outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) in Africa has promoted the continent’s economic growth but generated controversy in the West. What drives Chinese investment in the continent with abundant natural resources but poor institutions/governance? While the topic is important, studies on the issue in the literature have been limited. This paper attempts to close the gap by testing hypotheses of the role of resources and institutions with panel data in 2003–2013. Estimates suggest that the Chinese investment is not biased toward resource-rich and institution-poor countries but similar to Western investment, and China’s OFDI is largely profit-driven, just like investors from other countries. Institutional supports from the Chinese government, however, seems to be important to China’s OFDI in Africa.
