This paper provides a detailed survey of the literature on the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on poverty reduction, outlining the theoretical and empirical relationship between these variables. Although a number of studies have been done on the impact of FDI on poverty reduction, the majority of these studies have focused on the indirect impact of FDI on poverty reduction. The bulk of the literature reviewed supports the positive effects of foreign direct investment on poverty reduction, although a few studies have also found foreign direct investment to have an adverse or insignificant effect on poverty reduction. This study differs fundamentally from previous studies in that it focuses on the direct impact of FDI on poverty reduction, giving a detailed review of the nature of this relationship.

Artykuł zawiera szczegółowy przegląd literatury dotyczącej wpływu bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych (BIZ) na zmniejszenie ubóstwa, przedstawiając teoretyczne i empiryczne relacje między tymi zmiennymi. Chociaż istnieje wiele opracowań poświęconych kwestii wpływu BIZ na zmniejszenie ubóstwa to większość z tych opracowań była skoncentrowana na pośrednim wpływie BIZ na redukcję ubóstwa. Zdecydowana większość przedstawionej literatury potwierdza pozytywny wpływ bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych na zmniejszenie ubóstwa, choć kilka opracowań wykazało również negatywny lub nieistotny wpływ bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych na ograniczenie ubóstwa. Niniejsze opracowanie różni się zasadniczo od poprzednich, ponieważ skupia się na bezpośrednim wpływie BIZ na zmniejszenie ubóstwa przedstawiając szczegółowy przegląd charakteru tego związku.
