Abstract AR

ازداد تنوع صادرات بلدان منطقة الشرق الأوسط و شمال أفريقيا جنبا إلى جنب مع تدفقات الاستثمار الأجنبي المباشر إلى المنطقة.

تبحث هذه الورقة ما إذا كان هذا الارتباط ناتج عن علاقة أكثر عمومية بين تدفقات الاستثمار الأجنبي المباشر و تنوع صادرات الدولة.

على خلاف ما افترضت الأدبيات عن هذا الموضوع، لا نجد أي دليل على هذه العلاقة.

و مع ذلك، نجد أن المؤسسات العاملة التي يوجد بها أكثر مهارة ترتبط بوجود صادرات أكثر تنوعا.

Abstract EN

The diversity of MENA countries’ exports has increased together with flows of FDI to the region.

This paper investigates whether this association results from a more general relation between FDI inflows and the diversity of a country’s exports.

At odds with the presumption of the literature, we find no evidence of such a relation.

However, we find that a more skilled workforce and better institutions are correlated with more diversified exports.
