摘要：This study attempts to investigate the effect of trade openness, GDP and population on theinvestment in Syria over the period 1980-2010. The cointegration test indicates that investment ispositively and significantly related to the trade openness, GDP and population. Population has thebiggest effect on the investment. The Granger causality test indicates bidirectional short-run causalityrelationships between trade openness, GDP, population and investment. There are also unidirectionallong-run causality relationship running from trade openness to investment, and bidirectional long-runcausality relationships between GDP, population and investment. The study result indicates that it is vitalfor the Syrian government to still adopt the economic policy in liberalizing foreign trade in order tomotivate the investment in the country.
