This paper analyses whether foreign direct investments have an impact on the
Romanian economic growth. By means of simultaneous equation methods we obtained evidence of the bi-directional connection between the two, meaning that
incoming FDI stimulates economic growth and, in its turn, a higher GDP attracts FDI.
Two methods were used in performing the analysis, one considering the relation between the share of FDI in GDP and economic growth in a five-equation system and
the second considering the levels of FDI and GDP, respectively, in a two-equation
system.
