Abstract
This paper empirically investigates the influence of corruption, bureaucratic
quality and government stability on inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to
major SAARC nations including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka over
the period of 1985-2008. Owing to the long-term relationship with the host,
absence of corruption and bureaucratic interventions are crucial location
advantages of host countries, especially in case of countries lacking abundant
natural resources to attract foreign investors. The results through random
effects panel estimation method indicate the significant effects of absence of
corruption, honest public office holders, efficient bureaucracy and government
stability for the foreign direct investors in SAARC nations.
