چکیده

Our paper applies new institutional economics theory to a unique data set of the world‘s low-income economies to examine the association between host governments‘ social policies and their ability to attract foreign direct investment. We add to this another new data set to explore the direct and indirect role of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the business-society-government interface. We find that a host government‘s social inclusion policies are strongly associated with a country‘s FDI inflows. NGOs, however, obtain no statistically significant indirect effect on this relationship and only weak statistical significance as a direct influence on FDI inflows. Despite these mixed results, the findings of this exploratory study suggest future directions of research of interest to policy makers and business scholars.
