The main objective of this study is to identify the major determinant of the inward flows of FDI for Malaysia by employing the bounds testing (ARDL) approach to cointegration. Of all the variables being tested, trade openness is found to be the most influential variable in attracting the inflows of FDI as it shows consistent results in the short run as well as in the long run in all models being tested. Since the trade openness which represents the liberalization of the Malaysian economy could induce the inflows of FDI, some policy actions can be taken up to enhance the trade openness. 2015-12-19 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/46819/1/46819.pdf Nordin, Sabariah and Yusoff, Mohammed and Mat Ghani, Gairuzazmi (2015) Trade liberalization and foreign direct investment in Malaysia.
