An article entitled "The Impact of FDI on Unemployment: Panel Data Approach", authored by Mustafa Mohammad Alalawneh, PhD student at Khazar University Department of Economic, was published in "Emerging Science Journal (ESJ)" from Scopus collection.

The researcher examined the impact of foreign direct investment on unemployment in six countries in the Middle East and North Africa, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, and Turkey employing panel data for the period from 1990 to 2018. The results showed that FDI reduces the unemployment rate, the male unemployment rate, and the female unemployment rate in the long run. The results of the study also revealed that there is no causal relationship in the short term between FDI and unemployment in its various forms, while there is a bidirectional causal relationship between FDI and exports according to the three economic models.
