The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment FDI on Economic Growth of Jordan
No full textForeign direct investment (FDI) has been one of the significant sources of economic growth in Jordan, and become an important channel for Jordan to enhance the economy and financial systems. The purpose of this paper is to identify the effect of FDI on economic growth of Jordan. The study covered the period from 1990 to 2012 using time series data from World Development Indicator and IMF International Financial Statistics tables, published by International Monetary Fund (IMF) to detect the correlation relationship between foreign direct investment FDI and the economic growth in Jordan. An empirical analysis and ordinary least square (OLS) regression are conducted. Our findings indicate that Jordan’s economic performance is positively influenced by foreign investment and its gross domestic investment also has capitalized its economy. Additionally, the results shown that trade have a positive impact on the economic growth. While, the nation’s debt, inflation have found to have a negative impact on its GDP. In addition the inflow of foreign investment will not leave a significant impact on the unemployment level. Keywords: FDI, GDP, Domestic Investment, Trade.

Adoption of Artificial Intelligence-Driven Fraud Detection in Banking: The Role of Trust, Transparency, and Fairness Perception in Financial Institutions in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar
No full textThis paper examines the uptake of AI-driven fraud detection systems among financial institutions in the UAE and Qatar, with a special focus on trust, transparency, and perceptions of fairness. Despite the promise of AI operations in identifying financial anomalies, unclear decision-making processes and algorithmic bias constrain its extensive acceptance, especially in regulation-driven banking sectors. This study uses a quantitative strategy based on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Multi-Group Analysis (MGA) of survey responses from 409 bank professionals, such as auditors and compliance officers. This study shows that transparency greatly enhances trust, which is the leading predictor of AI uptake. Fairness perception mediates the negative impacts of algorithmic bias, emphasizing its important role in establishing system credibility. The analysis of subgroups shows differential regional and professional variations in trust and fairness sensitivity, where internal auditors and highly AI-exposed subjects are found to exhibit higher adoption preparedness. Compliance with regulations also emerges as a positive enabler of adoption. This paper concludes with suggestions for practical implementation by banks, developers, and regulators to align AI deployment with ethical and regulatory aspirations. It recommends transparent, explainable, and fairness-sensitive AI tools as essential for promoting adoption in regulation-driven sectors. The findings provide a guide for promoting responsible, trust-driven AI implementation in fraud detection
Board diversity and social responsibility: The case of Jordanian commercial banks
No full textThis paper examines the impact of the board diversity on firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance. Using a sample of 13 Jordanian commercial banks listed at Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the period 2005-2014, the study finds that board diversity measures, namely: board size, gender, age, education; nationality and independence are positively associated with CSR performance. At the same time, the existence of institutions’ representatives was found to be negatively affecting the social participation of banks. This paper provides a substantial contribution to the existing research studies that tackle CSR not only in Jordan but also in the region by introducing female directors, as it suggests that the quotas for women participation should be increased. The results are considered important to policymakers, government regulators, potential investors and CSR agencies.</jats:p
Board gender diversity and dividend policy: Case of Jordanian commercial banks
No full textThis paper aims to investigate the impact of board gender diversity on dividend policy in the context of Jordanian commercial banks. Using a sample of 13 Jordanian commercial banks listed on Amman Stock Exchange during the period 2005-2014, we find strong and robust evidence indicating that diversified boards tend to pay higher cash dividends to shareholders since women can better address the needs of investors in impatient emerging markets. Moreover, this paper presents the negative moderating effect of both, the government existence in the boardroom and international financial crisis on the relationship between gender diversity and dividend policy indicators. Under such conditions, the diversified boards became more conservative and retained most of the profit and paid fewer dividends because of the risk-averse tendencies of women directors.</jats:p
