This paper investigates the linkages between natural resources, institutional quality and FDI, and the interaction impact of natural resources and institutional quality on FDI. It argues that countries highly ranked with respect to institutional quality tend to do better in attracting FDI. In an empirical analysis using different econometric techniques and a data sample of 30 African Sub-Saharan countries for the period 1984-2007, the paper finds that different aspects of a country’s institutional quality are almost always significant, regardless of the other control variables used in the least-squares and instrumental variables estimations. | Do institutions quality affect FDI inflows in sub-Saharan African countries?
