Financial inclusion as an enabler of economic growth: Does financial stability matter
Purpose This study aims to examine the moderating role of financial stability in the effect of financial inclusion on economic growth. While financial inclusion is hailed for its potential to stimulate economic growth, excessive inclusion or stability may yield adverse effects. The study seeks to clarify how the interaction of financial inclusion and stability moderates economic outcomes and to offer policy insights for fostering inclusive and st…
The role of innovation as an FDI location factor using panel data: Does economic development stage matter
This study investigates the impact of the Global Innovation Index (GII) on FDI inflows across 81 countries from 2013 to 2021, highlighting that the effect of innovation varies significantly across stages of economic development. In particular, the same improvement in innovation capacity generates markedly different FDI responses depending on whether countries are high-, upper-middle-, or lower-middle-income economies. The results indicate that GI…
Prospective Tariff-Reduction Scenarios under AfCFTA and Moroccan Outward FDI to Africa
This study provides an ex-ante (prospective) analysis of how tariff barriers are associated with Moroccan outward foreign direct investment ( FDI ) to 28 African countries over the period 2007–2020 under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) scenario. We estimate tariff- FDI elasticities based on effectively applied weighted average tariffs and interpret patterns using the knowledge–capital framework. The results indicate that Moroccan…
Does Religion Matter When Investing in Africa? An Empirical Analysis of Moroccan FDI Location Choice in 27 African Countries During the Period 2007-2021
In this study, we investigate the impact of four religious factors on Moroccan outward FDI in African countries: the religious freedom index, religious tension index, religious similarity, and religious diversity index. Using panel data from 27 African countries between 2007 and 2021, our findings show that religious factors significantly influence Moroccan FDI in Africa. A shared Islamic religion increases FDI likelihood, indicating cultural pro…
An Ex-Ante Analysis of the Effect of Morocco’s Commitment to African Continental Free Trade Area on Trade with African Countries, Using Panel Data
This paper presents an ex-ante analysis forecasting the potential effects of the full implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) on trade between Morocco and other African countries. Using panel data from 53 African countries over the period from 1990 to 2022, and employing Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares ( DOLS ), the findings indicate that a 1-point reduction in the average weighted and effectively applied tariff on Moroc…

Does Climate Change Constitute a Financial Risk to Foreign Direct Investment? An Empirical Analysis on 200 Countries from 1970 to 2020
In this paper, we study the role of climate change as a financial risk for foreign investors. Multinational enterprises seek to internationalize where financial risk is at the minimum level, including the climate change risk on profitability and productivity. Thereby, we conducted an empirical analysis of the effect of climate change on inward foreign direct investment (FDI) net inflows using data from 200 countries and times series from 1970 to …
