Abstract

The aim of this article is to identify the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the gross domestic product (GDP), exports and employment of the Dominican Republic, using panel data models, during 2010-2018. The controlled results show that the inflow of FDI is an important factor for the development of the Dominican economy, because it promotes growth, employment and exports. The participation in the factors of production was also found, both for capital income and for labor income.
