Abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, various determinants of intra-SAARC capital flows in terms of FDI have been investigated using Multilevel Generalized Structural Equations Model. Analysis proves (i) bulk of intra-SAARC FDI is found to be market-seeking or horizontal, indicating scarcity of vertical investment linkages between affiliate countries; (ii) the financial sector among SAARC nations need a significant development before expecting a positive relationship between intra-regional FDI and financial development; (iii) political fragility is not found to hinder intra-SAARC FDI and (iv) while intra-regional FDI in SAARC is dominated by Indian investments, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are also rising as prominent regional investors.
