Abstract: We construct a panel dataset covering 56 countries from 1985 to 2017 and find a positive relationship between foreign equity investment and GDP growth with private investment being a mediator. Foreign equity investment increases GDP growth through private investment growth in the whole sample and private investment and R&D investment growth in OECD countries. The impact of foreign equity investment on private investment peaks in two-three years before it fades out.
