Direct Foreign Placements and Employment With Regards to Macroeconomics
Abstract
The effects on the employment structure of the host country where the foreign direct investment takes place appear in two ways, directly and indirectly; direct foreign investment in the form of the establishment of a new company is expected to have a positive effect on employment due to its direct effects on employment. At the same time, the direct foreign investment may indirectly affect employment due to sectoral links. This study aims to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment on employment. The Time Series Analysis method was chosen as the econometric method. The hypothesis that "Foreign direct investment has a positive correlation with employment" was developed through this method, and a meaningful long-term relationship between foreign direct investment and employment was identified as a result of the test.
