Based on time-series dataata macro level, this study employed Engel Grangerco integration test, as well as error correction model, investigated the short-and long-run causal relationship between gross investment and the factors influencing the investment decision of the investors, and found a statistically significant relationship between gross investment and macroeconomic variables. Furthermore, the coefficient of error correction term (-0.90) implied around a 90percent conversion to the equilibrium, showing a steady, long-run relationship between regress and  regressors.
