Title: Why Does the Nigeria Diaspora Invest in Their Country of Origin?
Abstract: In recent years, diaspora members are considered key contributors to the economic development of their homeland. Not much is known about what motivates them to invest in their country of origin or why investment intensity varies among diaspora communities. It is to this end that the direct causality assumption of Nigerian born diaspora investment is examined using Nielsen & Riddle (2007) investment motivation framework. Using this interdisciplinary approach, an individual level conceptual model of diaspora homeland investment is generated. The model examines the effects of inter-diaspora cultural differences, the three types of investment expectations (financial, social, and emotional) and the factors that moderate them to better understand this phenomenon.
