Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is widely considered as an essential form of capital inflow and a key factor in promoting economic growth in many countries.This is particularly true for developing nations, emerging economies, and countries that are currently in the process of development, as FDI is a major contributor to their economic progress and empowerment.This research paper aims to conduct an empirical analysis of the impact of FDI on the economy of Kazakhstan between 1991 and 2020, specifically on its key economic growth indicators, such as GDP.FDI has recently gained significant attention in Kazakhstan due to its crucial role in the country's economy.The study utilized the causal research method and employed wellknown econometric models, namely, linear regression and vector autoregression (VAR), to analyze and evaluate the impact of FDI on the economy of Kazakhstan.The results of the study indicate that FDI and exports have a statistically significant impact on Kazakhstan's GDP, while gross domestic product and exports have a positive impact on FDI.
