Abstract
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is widely considered as an important stimulus to the economic growth in the form of employment, technology transfer; and regional economic integration among others. This paper seeks to determine the effects of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) on FDI flows into SubSaharan Africa. Using a modified gravity model, results suggests that per capita GDP and AGOA participation status positively influences FDI inflow into Sub-Saharan Africa while being a member of other RTAs (Other Regional Trade Agreements) hinder FDI net flow. Also, countries with generally better political stability index score have higher average FDI net flow.
