Abstract
The paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI)
on economic growth
using detailed sectoral data for FDI inflows to Indonesia over the period 1997-2006. In
the aggregate level, FDI is observed to have a positive effect on economic growth.
However, when accounting for the different average growth performance across sectors,
the beneficial impact of FDI is no longer apparent. When examining different impacts
across sectors, estimation results show that the composition of FDI
matters for its effect
on economic growth with very few sectors showing positive impact of FDI and one
sector even showing a robust negative impact of FDI inflows (mining and quarrying).
The sectors examined are: farm food crops, livestock product, forestry, fishery,
mining
and quarrying, non-oil and gas industry, electricity,
gas and water, construction, retail and
wholesale trade, hotels and restaurant,
transport and communications, and other private
and services sectors.
