Infrastructure-FDI nexus in Nigeria: insights from nonlinear threshold regression model

Infrastructural development of the host country is one of the major determinants of attracting FDI. However, the nonlinear threshold relationship between the infrastructural development and FDI inflow is yet to be explored. The objective of this research is to find the threshold effect of infrastruc...
