Abstract

The study aimed to shed light on the impact of external shocks represented by foreign aid, oil prices, and remittances of workers abroad on foreign direct investment in Jordan during the period of 1995–2020 and present a set of recommendations that would enhance the positive effects of those external shocks. On foreign direct investment, and to achieve the goal of the study, this study relied on the descriptive analytical approach using the standard method, using unit root tests, time series stability tests for study variables, and autocorrelation test. The study shows that there is a negative and moral impact of oil prices on foreign investment in Jordanian direct investment, as well as the presence of a positive and moral impact of foreign aid on foreign investment in Jordan, as shown by the value of the coefficient of determination that 20% of the variables in Jordanian foreign investment are due to independent variables (oil prices, foreign aid), and the study focus on Searching for alternative sources of oil or buying oil at a time when its prices are low, which will reflect positively on foreign direct investment and the search for various sources of foreign aid in a way that contributes to improving foreign investment.
