While the importance of institution has prominently featured as playing a vital role on the one hand, economic freedom (a key institutional component) has consistently been elected, as a good candidate surrogate on the other hand. It is against this backdrop this study examines the effect of FDI inflow on economic performance in the ssa region giving prominence to economic freedom. The results support the view that economic freedom is germane in influencing the economic-wide performance in the region but have insignificant effects on the different sector performances. It is recommended that economic freedom be given priority in the region and fdi should be attracted to other sectors other than the primary sector, as it is the caseZaradi polemike o tem, ali je neposredni vpliv neposredne tuje naložbe (FDI) na rast odvisen od določenih vmesnih členov ali ne, je preučevanje verjetnih posrednih členov na področju rasti FDI postalo pogosta tema pogovora. Medtem ko se je na eni strani izkazalo, da ima pomembnost ustanove ključno vlogo, pa so na drugi strani kot dobrega nadomestnega kandidata izbrali gospodarsko svobodo. Raziskava na podlagi tega preučuje vpliv priliva FDI na gospodarsko storilnost v podsaharski Afriki in v ospredje postavlja gospodarsko svobodo. Rezultati podpirajo vidik, da gospodarska svoboda vpliva na gospodarsko storilnost cele regije, njen vpliv na različne storilnosti sektorjev pa je zanemarljiv. Priporočljivo je, da ima v regiji prednost gospodarska svoboda in da FDI pritegnejo tudi drugi sektorji, ne samo primarni sektor, kot se to dogajaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza na Primorskem, Fakulteta za management
