Abstract
The determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and its effects. on macroeconomic growth in developing countries have been investigated exhaustively by numerous researchers. The dominant message that has emerged from these studies is that FDI promotes growth. However, few studies have dealt with the influence of FDI on labour productivity in the automotive industry. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of FDI on labour productivity in this industry in South Africa, covering the period 1995 to 2013.
The Johansen cointegration test was utilised to analysis the long-term relationship between FCI and labour productivity.
