摘要:The study was carried out to establish the possible effects of Industrial parks developed by OBOR Initiative on inflow of Foreign Direct Investment in Ethiopia. In this study, the researcher used secondary time series data from 2013 to 2020. Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) estimations were used. By doing so, the time series properties of the selected variables were examined. It first tests for unit root using the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test. The cointegration technique was employed to derive the long-run relationship. The result of long run dynamic model shows that industrial parks development by OBOR significantly and positively affects the inflow of FDI to the Country. Further the study findings indicated that expansion of OBOR investments on industrial parks development significantly affects export, through increasing the volume of products to be produced for the export market. From a policy point of view, the results suggest that, to promote FDI, Ethiopia should promote expansion of the OBOR Initiatives and also focus on policies that support increased level of industrial developments in the Country.
