Abstract
This study aims to try to measure the effect of foreign direct investment inflows on economic growth in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries for the period (1990-2018), using regression analysis of cross-sectional time series data, based on the cointegration methodology and error correction model for Panel data.
The results of the study concluded from unit root tests and cointegration of Panel data are that the two variables are integrated from the first degree, and that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between them, showed The result to estimate the error correction model for the long-term equilibrium relationship there is a direct but weak relationship between FDI flows and economic growth.
