ARDL approach is utilized for the statistical analysis with support of various techniques applied to FDI in Pakistan being dependent variables in econometric models. The empirical results of this study shows the positive and significant effect of foreign trade in FDI of Pakistan, coinciding with theory, supported by both sign of the coefficient and probability value.
