The empirical study looked at FDI in Qatar and the GCC region in the past four decades (1980 -2020) and how Qatar, in specific, performed during the time period. After doing several analysis techniques including the correlation analysis and the multi-regression analysis on several macro variables and institutional quality variables…I found some interesting conclusions that did not match the existing literature about Qatar. Due to the critical analysis, beneficial findings, and recommendations, the thesis was graded with an A. I’m very proud of it عرض أقل
