The purpose of the paper is to estimate and analyze the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and exports in India for the post-liberalization period (1991-2005). The relevant data is collected for a 15-year period from 1991-2005 from various published sources such as World Investment Report (WIR) and Secretariat for Industrial Assistance (SIA). The data is then analyzed using simple linear regression analysis to find the impact of FDI on various variables. Growth rates are evaluated and trends are analyzed using various tools. This study establishes the relationship between the FDI inflows and exports and GDP in the Indian economy. A greater inflow of foreign capital has lead to growth in the exports of goods and services and also growth of the economy over the period of study. These results have great policy implications giving a direction to the policymakers that further liberalization attempts can be made without apprehensions about its impact on the overall economic growth and balance of trade.
Introduction
Since the end of World War II, economists have pointed to the growing interdependence among countries in the world economy. This trend of interdependence has seen exponential growth. Since late 1980s till date, the growth of FDI has been one of the most debated and significant economic developments. In Asia, FDI has increased significantly over the past two decades. However, it has been concentrated in a few countries. In the early 1990s, seven East Asian countries—China, Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand—received more than 60% of the FDI inflows compared to the other countries in Asia. The BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) report states that India is going to be one of the most popular destinations for FDI from across the globe. However, the preliminary question is whether this inflow is going to lead to any growth in the domestic economy and exports; if yes, how much? and will it be significant enough to drive further FDI inside the economy?
Relevance of FDI
Foreign direct investment in the developing countries dates back to the 19th century. During the colonial and neocolonial period, it was concentrated in export-oriented mineral and agricultural production and in public utilities. However, there were economic and political opportunities to foreign investment in the colonial countries. There was growing opposition to

investment from abroad in Canada and Australia in the 1920s and 1930s. The same was true in Europe in the 1950s when American inflows were at their peak and European outflows were still negligible. Japan simply kept foreign investors out (Billerbeck and Yasugi, 1978). In the 1950s, after the end of World War II, FDI from the industrialized countries to developing countries began to flow again. By the end of 1960s, average annual flows to developing countries, including reinvested earnings, were $3 bn. By 1975, the rate of investment accelerated and reached $10 bn (Billerbeck and Yasugi, 1978). FDI inflows more than doubled in nominal terms between 1975 and 1985, attaining a peak in 1981 and rising thereafter at an annual average rate of 43%, to reach a record high level of about $215 bn in 1990 (Bhalla, 1994). Increases in FDI inflows exceeded the growth in nominal value of world GDP and international trade, which expanded by around 3.5% and 7% respectively in 2006 (WIR, 1997).
Definition of FDI
Foreign direct investment is defined as an investment involving a long-term business relationship and reflecting a lasting interest and control of resident entity in one economy (foreign direct investor or parent enterprise) in an enterprise resident in an economy other than that of the foreign direct investor (FDI enterprise or affiliate enterprise or foreign affiliate). Foreign direct investment implies that the investor exerts a significant degree of influence on the management of the enterprise resident in the other economy. Such investment involves both the initial transactions between the two entities and subsequent transactions between them and among foreign affiliates, both incorporated and unincorporated. Foreign direct investments may be undertaken by individuals as well as business entities (WIR, 1997). The component included to account the FDI varies from country to country.
Theoretical Background
There are various theoretical foundations that discuss the FDI:
Structuralist Paradigm
Foreign investment is to be welcomed and actually encouraged through tax concessions, etc. as a source of foreign finance and technology. However, for Raul Prebisch, such investment should flow into the branches of production in which it is most needed (Hunt, 1989).
Overlapping Generations Model
The Overlapping Generations (OG) model of long run growth presents a somewhat different perspective on the effects of foreign investment. This model provides a basic lesson: foreign investment makes the future generations of the capital-importing country better off and the future generations of the capital-exporting country worse off (Bhalla, 1994).
Impact of Foreign Direct Investment in India 17
What happens if there is foreign investment? Interest rates rise in the capital-exporting country and fall in the capital-importing country. The key fact is the wages of the present generation depend on the capital stock inherited from previous generations. Since each member of the present generation earns his or her wages in the first period and retires in the second period, he or she will be made better off by a higher interest rate on savings and worse off by a lower interest rate on savings. The wage rate is fixed. Therefore, since investment lowers interest rates in the capital-importing region in the OG model, the present generation is made worse off. Interest rates rise in the capital-exporting region, therefore, the present generation in that region is better off (Roy, 1979).
OLI Paradigm
The most recent of them all is the one given by Dunning popularly known as Eclectic or OLI paradigm. It discusses about Ownership (O), Location (L), and Internalization (I) advantages of a country’s firms while differentiating along the country’s course of economic development (Dunning and Narula, 1998). According to this theory, three conditions have to be fulfilled in order for a firm to become a multinational: the Ownership (O) advantages must be such as to make it profitable for the firm to relocate abroad its own production (or at least part of it); there must be some Localization (L) advantage, typically linked to the host country’s specific characteristics; and it must be more convenient for the firm to manage its advantages Internally (I) rather than trade them through the market. This appears to be a very useful paradigm in explaining the different characteristics that need to be fulfilled for a firm to become a multinational and also helps in developing further empirical studies on this topic (Soci, 2002).
Macro Perspective
National Income (GDP) is universally employed and is generally a useful measure for economic growth. A variety of policies for promoting growth can be suggested. Let us start from a simple equation for GDP. GDP = C + I + G + (X – M) where, C = Consumption I = Investment
G = Government Expenditure X = Exports
M = Imports This leads to the following alternatives (Rao, 1995). 1. Maximize C through tax reduction (supply-side economics). 2. Activate I—both domestic and foreign.
18 The Icfai University Journal of International Business, Vol. III, No. 4, 2008
3. Stimulate G—Keynesian economics (may lead to heavy budget deficits). 4. Increase X—Outward looking policies (aggressive East Asian economies). 5. Contain M—Import substitution (some of the third world economies including India till recently). Combination of first, second and fourth alternatives is suggested for a segmented economy to augment development (Chenery and Ahulwalia, 1974). India seems to have been following this path since mid-1980s. In the structural adjustment program, exports and foreign capital started to play a prominent role.
Review of Earlier Works
Foreign capital inflows play an important role in supplementing and complementing resources of developing countries in their efforts towards higher levels of development. The role of foreign capital has been emphasized in literature on economic development; for instance, the Gap models (Hunt, 1989) and the Kindleberger-Hymer approach to FDI. It was Abba Learner who discussed at length about the inflow of foreign capital (Lerner, 1944). The general effects of foreign investment on development received a good treatment in the works of Mac Dougall (Dougall, 1966). The work of Kemp Murray (Murray, 1960) can also be mentioned in this respect. However, the question of the possible adverse effects of foreign capital on the levels of domestic savings was first raised by Trygve Haavelmo (Haavelmo, 1963). Following Haavelmo, many evinced interest in studies on the relationship between foreign capital and economic growth in developing countries. There was a proliferation of studies on this and the works of Lee, Rana and Iwasaki in the context of Asia is important (Lee et al., 1986). One of the earliest studies on the relationship between FDI and growth is that of Papanek (Papanek, 1973). Among country-specific studies, the work of Gustav Ranis and Chi Shive on Taiwan (Ranis and Schive, 1985) is very exhaustive. In 1970, Robert Aliber raised many theoretical issues like whether FDI is a currency area or customs area phenomena (Aliber, 1970). W B Reddaway’s analysis (Reddaway, 1968) of the influence of FDI on Balance of Payments (BOP) is a landmark study in the literature on FDI. A more general theory—originally propounded in a thesis at MIT by Stephen Hymer—is that direct investment belongs more to the theory of industrial organization than to the theory of international capital movements. Hymer’s work emphasizes that firms engaged in direct investment have monopolistic elements and the perfect competition model is not relevant. To the literature on FDI, the greatest contribution was made by Charles, P Kindleberger (Kindleberger, 1958 and 1968). His influence on subsequent works is so profound that his analysis and approach to FDI along with that of Stephen Hymer is well-known as Kindleberger-Hymer Approach.
Impact of Foreign Direct Investment in India 19
However, there are specific studies that help in understanding the FDI drivers at a regional level and also have direct use in policymaking (Na and Lightfoot, 2006). Others talk about development of successful FDI strategies at national level (Musila and Sigue Simon, 2006). Some simplistic papers look at just the trends of FDI in various countries—what they expect to measure is the general perspective without exploring in detail what are the implications of these investments on the national growth and other parameters. There are studies pertaining to firm-level analysis of the determinants (Pantelidis and Dimitrios, 2005) and one paper deals with specific determinants of US FDI in India (Balasundram and Chatterjee, 1998).
Objectives of the Present Study
The main objectives of the present work are:
• To examine trends in FDI in India; and • To analyze the impact of FDI on exports and GDP. Methodology
Period of Study
The period of analysis for the present study is 1986-87 to 2005-06. Depending on the availability of the data, the analysis is confined to this broad period. However, the focus of analysis is mostly on post-liberalization period of 1991-2005 and 2005-06, as FDI data is consistently available since this period.
Hypothesis
One of the benefits of FDI is that it is likely to transfer modern technology to the domestic economy. As a result, the products produced in the domestic economy would become internationally competitive. The inflow of FDI is likely to promote the exports. Thus, both GDP and exports are expected to be positively influenced by FDI.
Sources of Data
The data for this work are taken from a variety of sources. The publications of SIA of Ministry of Industry, Government of India are the main sources of information for data on FDI flows, country-wise break-up and sector-wise break-up. The RBI online database on the Indian economy is another major source of data. Data on aggregate FDI is taken from World Investment Report of United Nations and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Annual Report.
Techniques of Estimation
Simple techniques like percentages and growth rates are employed to analyze data. However, for capturing the impact of FDI on exports, imports, and GDP, the paper has used mean, standard deviation, and simple regression analysis. Y = a + bX
20 The Icfai University Journal of International Business, Vol. III, No. 4, 2008
where, Y = Dependent variable. a = Intercept of the line on y-axis. b = Regression coefficient X = Independent variable. Thus, the following three simple linear regression equations would be analyzed to study the impact of FDI on exports, imports and GDP. X = a1 + b1 FDI M = a2 + b2 FDI Y = a3 + b3 FDI where, X = Exports M = Imports Y = GDP And a and b are the coefficients of FDI. All the related statistics are estimated for analysis. ...(1) ...(2) ...(3)
Analysis
In this section a detailed analysis of the impact of FDI on exports and GDP along with the analysis of trends of FDI in India is attempted.
Analysis of Trends
Foreign investment plays an important part in economic development and is often an essential element in economic transformation of developing countries. As can be seen from Table 1, the flow of FDI across the world has seen a tremendous growth over the period of 20 years. This reflects the fact that most economies are moving from relatively closed economies to open economies. Also, it is positive to notice that the inflows are increasing in the developing countries over the period. The share of developed countries was almost three-fourth in 1985, and it remains at 60% of the world flows in 2005. Europe and the US dominated the scenario for a very long time; but their share was on a decline in the recent past. On the other hand, the share of developing economies has seen a gradual and healthy increase over the period; it increased from a meager one-fourth to a dominating 36%. However, what needs to be noted here is that there is no single country which attracts as big an investment as developed economies do. However, Asian economies are doing better than Latin American countries and Africa.

FDI is also seen to increase as a percentage of the GDP of the economies. On the whole, FDI forms around 22% of the GDP of all the economies of the world. As shown in Table 2, the developed countries are moving closely with the world average. Whereas, the developing economies are improving very fast and their share is steady in the recent years. United Kingdom among the developed economies and Hong Kong, China in the developing economies are the top destinations of FDI (Table 2). The economy of Hong Kong is overwhelmingly attracting foreign investments followed by Singapore and Vietnam in South-East Asia. India is slowly picking up the speed as far as FDI is concerned; it started with a meager 0.33% and is presently at around 6%. Among the developing economies, all the continents are faring equally as far as this parameter is concerned.

Asian Perspective
Foreign capital is treated as a resource gap-filling factor in the context of capital scarcity in the developing countries. In developing countries, FDI is now the principal source of foreign capital. There are good reasons to believe that FDI is preferred to other types of flows. One convincing argument is that FDI consists of a package of capital, technology and market access which tends to go to those manufacturing sectors which enjoy actual or potential comparative advantage (Edward, 1992). The inflow of FDI would give rise to economies of scale and higher productivity and create linkage effects in these sectors (Edward, 1992). With the inflow of FDI, profitability and outward remittance of profits and dividends move in close tandem with

the performance of the economy and the balance of payments (Siow, 1993). Coming to the scenario in Asia, a few economies are attracting heavy inflows and others remain low players. As can be seen from Table 3, Asia contributes around one-fifth of the world’s FDI. South, East and South-East Asia contribute almost four-fifth of the total inflows directed at this region. However, there is a huge skewness in favor of some economies in East Asia, with China dominating the scene among all the economies. The internal policy framework and the conducive environment for the foreign investors have been very fruitful over the period for China. South Asia is among the deprived region in entire Asia, with India contributing only around 3% to the region’s inflow in the year 2005. Singapore and Thailand are among other economies in this region that attract a large inflow of direct investments. Looking again at the world scenario, we can see in Table 4 the trends as far as sectoral inflows of FDI across the developed and developing economies are concerned. There is a clear indication that most FDI flows are in the manufacturing sector, and the service sector has picked up in the later years. Most economies still have a highly protected agricultural sector and low FDI inflows also show the same trend (Table 4).

FDI in India
South-East Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)
In this section a detailed analysis of the FDI in India is presented on the basis of approvals, actual flows, country and sector-wise breakups, state-wise break-ups and also on the components of FDI. Considerable interest is being shown in measures that might promote private foreign investment and allow it to make a greater contribution to development (Bhalla, 1994); this fact is being proved here in the analysis.

As in all colonial countries there was a widespread animosity towards foreign capital in India (Chandra, 1991). Since 1980s, foreign capital was welcomed into hitherto closed areas and its inflow multiplied manifold. Outstanding FDI as estimated by RBI, in India’s commercial and industrial sector increased at a very slow pace from Rs. 387 cr in 1955 to Rs. 973 cr in 1975 falling marginally to Rs. 933 cr in 1980 (Chandra, 1991). The series of adjustments in industrial policy in the 1980s and opening the doors wider for FDI undoubtedly helped some scaling up of the inflow of foreign private capital from the insignificant Rs. 10 cr per annum in 1970s to annual average of Rs. 100 cr in the first half of the1980s and about Rs. 200 cr per annum in the second half (Mehta, 1991). It is realized that FDI has proved to be an even more powerful channel for the transfer of knowledge and export capability, and India should not lag behind other Asian countries in reaping the benefits of FDI, especially for the infrastructure and exports (Economic Survey,1993-94). As a result of open policy relating to FDI, foreign interest in Indian economy got stimulated.
Approvals vs. Actual Inflows
Table 5 depicts the detailed account of FDI actual inflow against the amount that was approved. It can be observed that there is a large gap between the two, mainly attributed to the procedural delays at the initial phase of liberalization. This gap seems to have faded in the later phases Table 5: Year-Wise FDI Approvals and Inflows (Net of ADRs/GDRs) (from August 1991 to October 2006)

This shows that there are large number of small investments flowing in rather than small number of large investments. Figure 1 is a clear indication of the above statement. The policy initiatives have to be taken up to boost large investors into the country.
Table 6: Statement on Country-Wise/Year-Wise FDI Inflows (from August 1991 to September 2006)
The analysis of FDI on the basis of country of origin shows interesting results. Most of the developed economies are seen to express their interest in investing in India. Tax-Haven Mauritius is the favorite route of most investors. As seen in Table 6, this country alone contributes to onethird of all our inflows. The US is the second highest contributor having a share of around 12%. All the other economies are meager contributors with Singapore and Switzerland contributing only to the extent of 3% and 1% respectively.

contributes to around 14% of the total inflows. This is followed by the financial and nonfinancial services contributing around 10%. As seen in Table 7, most of the inflows among the top 10 industries are towards the service sector. Food-processing industry and pharmaceutical industry would be the industries where FDI would largely be flowing in future. Figure 2 gives a summary of the FDI inflows for 2006 reflecting the trend in the country towards more and more service sectors opening up for foreign investment and also proving to be one of the favorite destinations of investors.

also happen to be among the most industrialized states in our country. So industrialization leads to further industrialization. Maharashtra attracts most of the manufacturing FDI, whereas Delhi and Karnataka attracts the FDI in service sector.
Components of FDI
As can be observed from Table 9, most of the investment flows are fresh equity investments. India does not have full convertibility on capital account as of now; this brings most of the earnings reinvested in the economy. The other capital which includes the remittance towards recouping the losses of branches/subsidiaries, etc. forms a minor part of the total inflow. Table 9: Components of FDI in India

Analysis of Relation Between FDI, Exports, Imports and GDP in India (1985-2005)
Undoubtedly, the role of FDI in the Indian economy has considerably increased. The most important factors for this change are liberalization of regulatory framework and privatization programs since 1991. In other words, India adopted open door policy with regard to FDI since late 1980s. The theoretical support for FDI is that it will contribute to increasing exports and higher growth of GDP. Flow of investment in the short run may also increase imports; however, if this situation continues in the long run it may have a detrimental impact on the growth and national income if increase in exports does not match with the increase in imports. It would be interesting to analyze the impact of FDI on exports and GDP. With this intention, simple regression technique has been used to capture the impact of FDI on exports, imports and GDP. FDI has been used as an independent variable whereas exports, imports and GDP are used as dependent variables.

As depicted in Table 10, the imports have a higher mean, standard deviation and also a higher skewness and the exports are lower than the imports showing the steady trade deficit that was existing in India’s foreign trade. The growth of FDI in India was very low in the initial years of liberalization. However, in the later years with the relaxation of processes for entry and fast track clearances and widespread opening of FDI both in terms of cap and sectors showed a marked improvement in the inflows. The average does not seem impressive due to the above fact. To analyze the regression results it is important to see the impact of the most sought after FDI in the economy. As can be seen in Table 11, the coefficient of determination (R2) between the FDI and exports is very high and also significant. The interpretation can be that on an average, US$1 mn inflow of FDI in the economy results in around US$7.8 mn exports in the economy. The variation in exports due to changes in FDI can be explained to the extent of 72%. All the estimated coefficients are statistically significant and have an acceptable standard error. The coefficient explaining variation in exports is significant and positive indicating that the FDI has in fact promoted exports during the period of study.

In case of imports, as expected, the coefficient has a positive value and is statistically significant showing that there is an increase in imports along with an increase in the exports with every flow of FDI in the economy. The results of regression show that with every million US$ increase in the FDI, there is an increase of imports to the extent of US$10 mn. This indicates two things: (i) imports are increasing with FDI and (ii) increase in imports are higher than increase in exports with every dollar flow of FDI in the country. However, the coefficient of determination is only 67% indicating that there are other factors besides the FDI which explain the changes in imports in the Indian economy over the period of study. The main aim of all the economies to attract FDI is to see that the economic growth takes place and the people in the economy are better off than before. The closest indicator of economic growth is the GDP of the economy. So by analyzing the impact of FDI on GDP, we explain whether the objective has been achieved or not. As can be seen in the table, the regression results show a positive and statistically significant relationship between GDP and FDI in the Indian economy during the period of study. There is an increase in the GDP variable due to FDI inflows. The coefficient of determination is also very high (84%) indicating that most of the changes in GDP can be explained by FDI in the economy. Thus, it can be said that the purpose for which the FDI is attracted in the economy is being served to a very large extent. However, to get a true picture, a comparative study across economies indicating the contribution of FDI in the economic growth of these economies would be more justified. But, this is beyond the scope of this paper.
Conclusion
FDI has contributed in the process of growth in the world economy in general and the developing world in particular. From the study it is clear that FDI has positive impact on exports, imports and has greatly contributed to GDP. Foreign investment flows are growing more rapidly than world GDP and trade, implying increasing integration of world economy through capital and technology. New sectors such as retail, banking, insurance, drugs and pharmaceutical industry which are either thrown open or planned to be open for private and foreign investment, are the hopes for the Indian economy. To quote the recent trends, FDI equity inflows during April 2006 to November 2006 were $7.2 bn, which is the highest ever for equity capital since economic liberalization. The higher inflows as well as the new credit rating reflected growing investor confidence in India. According to A T Kearney’s FDI confidence index, India’s rank as a FDI

investment destination has improved from No. 15 in 2003 to No. 2 in 2006. According to the leading financial firm J P Morgan, the return on equity on investments made in India is the highest in Asia at 18%. Services sector has become the top sector in attracting FDI during April-November 2006. The importance of FDI in the country’s economy is in terms of not only generating economic activities and jobs, but equally in facilitating transfer of technology and managerial capabilities, which helps enhance India’s global competitiveness (Times News Network, 2007). Unlike China, India has not been able to attract substantial FDI; Indian manufacturing should be able to take advantage of foreign investment as a transmission belt for advanced technology. Unless India makes serious efforts in the direction of improving labor relations, financial sector and infrastructural facilities accompanied by long-term policy certainty, it is difficult to attract FDI continuously like other leading Asian nations. Therefore, India’s attitude and political intent towards foreign investment and technology has to be made clear in order to obtain huge foreign investment flows.

Abstract Some emerging markets have been leaders in the world and have grown at a higher rate benefiting from higher Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) by Trans National Corporations (TNCs) and some have been laggards and have not able to attract as much FDI and grow that efficiently. Why China gets 60 billion dollars FDI annually as compared to India that does not even get 6 billion dollars is an intriguing question? This dissertation explores the determinants of FDI in such emerging economies to answer the above question. What has India done till now to attract FDI? What has been China’s strategy to become the most FDI attracting country in the world? What lessons India can learn from China and improve its FDI inflow? The study attempts to theorize what lessons emerging markets that are laggards in attracting FDI, such as India, can learn from leader countries in attracting FDI, such as China in the global economy. This study fills the gap in the literature by analyzing the Indian data at the relevant micro state level for the period 1992-2005 and comparing it with the Chinese data for period of 1978-2005 at the relevant economic zone level. Indian FDI attraction model was tested using OLS and autoregressive models and it was found that India has grown due to its human capital, size of the market, rate of growth of the market, and political stability. For China, congenial business climate factors comprising of making structural changes, creating strategic infrastructure at SEZs, and…

UNDOUBTEDLY, China's track record in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) is far superior to that of India. In fact, India has been considered an "underachiever" in attracting FDI. However, within this otherwise firm conviction about unmatched Chinese superiority in attracting FDI inflows vis-à-vis India, there has occasionally been some scepticism about what all China includes while compiling its FDI figures and consequently about the actual intensity of the FDI gap between China and India as suggested by the official statistics of the respective countries. On the other hand, it has been pointed out in the FDI literature that Indian FDI is hugely under-reported because of non-conformity of India's method of measuring FDI to the international standards.…

Initially the Indian policy makers were quite apprehensive about the flow of foreign capital into the economy. This can be attributed to the colonial past which saw large investments being made by their colonial rulers in the form of major infrastructure instruments like railways but only to make huge gains for themselves and sucking the host country of its resources. But currently the global economy has been witnessing an incessant form of economic growth characterized by the flow of capital from the developed world to the developing countries. During the 1990s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) became the single largest source of external finance for the developing countries. When faced with an economic crisis during the same period the Indian policy makers had to open up the Indian market and accordingly India has been seeing a consistent increase in FDI inflows. Indian economy has been showing high growth rates in the post liberalization era. In the last fiscal year according to the Planning commission’s data the Indian economy recorded a growth rate of 8.6% and 8% in the year before. This is reason enough to call it a high performing economy. All Multi National Enterprises (MNEs) have been eyeing the Indian market ever since they have opened up. The policy makers have been vigorously pursuing the reforms program as they believe that high growth has been the resultant of economic liberalization. FDI has been seen as a dominant determinant to achieve high rate of economic growth because of the ease with which it can bring in scarce capital, triggers technology transfer and enhances the efficiency by increasing the competitiveness of the market. Also FDI as a form of policy instrument to raise capital is usually preferred over other forms of external finance because…
