This paper analyses the role of infrastructure availability, particularly with respect totransportation, in determining the attractiveness of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)inflows for the case of thirty-three African economies. Using both the static and dynamicpanel data approach, available transportation is seen to have contributed to the relativeattractiveness of the countries in our sample. Foreign direct investors are also sensitive ofother measures of infrastructure, though to a lesser extent than to transportation. FDIflows to African economies are further confirmed to be resource-seeking as well asmarket-seeking. Interestingly, the study also establishes the presence of dynamism in FDImodelling.
