dc.description.abstract	This study investigates the direct and indirect eﬀects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth and total factor productivity (TFP) using data for 25 countries in sub-Saharan Africa during the period 1980–2014. The main ﬁndings reveal that the direct eﬀect of FDI on both economic growth and TFP is largely negative. Furthermore, the results suggest that the inﬂuence of ﬁnancial development and human capital accumulation on the eﬀectofFDI is negligible. Thepaperproposes policy considerations to facilitate the potential role of ﬁnancial access and human capital in exerting a positive impact of FDI on growth.	en_US
