It is accepted that the most important factors determining the attractiveness of foreign direct investment are economic / political stability.

Then, Breitung and Candelon frequency causality analysis was used to determine whether the causality relationship between the variables is permanent or temporary. Analyzes were carried out using annual frequency data between 1993-2021. According to the results of the study, different country-specific causality relationships were determined.}, number={48}, publisher={Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey Üniversitesi}
