(2001). The empirical results show that FDI has no significant long-run and short-run unconditional impacts on growth. Moreover, FDI is found to have both insignificant short-run and long-run effects on growth conditional on the level of financial sector development. These results are robust to some alternative specifications of the model, indicating weaknesses in the FDI and financial policies in the Philippines that call for future policy reforms.enFDIFinancial developmentEconomic growthThesis
