Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
This paper investigates the long-debated relationship between FDI and economic growth. I use a Solow model framework to analyze this relationship. Further, I use OLS regression analysis to analyze this relationship, specifically between China and Africa. The Chinese-African trade relationship has become dynamic and expansive. I come to the conclusion that FDI doesn’t have a significant effect on economic growth in this case, and further conclude that trade relationships and policy are more important for economic growth, and can aid in determining the future value of an economic structure.
