Abstract
This paper analyzes the effects of Neo-liberal policy on FDI in Africa. It uses Freedom Index scores provided by
the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal as a proxy for implementation of Neo-liberal policy. Using a
panel-data regression from 1998to 2009, we find tha t the only Freedom Index measurement that has a
statistically significant and positive effect on FDI in Africa was the absence of corruption, suggesting that Neo-

Key words: neo-liberal; foreign direct investment, freedom index, Africa
Keywords: neo-liberal, Foreign direct investment, Africa, Freedom Index.
