摘要：这项研究考察了布隆迪经济的影响，目前处于生命支持之下，在经历了一系列布隆迪独立后时代的内战之后，投资环境仍处于萌芽阶段。布隆迪继续经历的政治困境是投资环境和发展的根本障碍之一。也许这就是为什么大多数研究人员，院士和观察员仅通过政治眼镜来分析布隆迪局势的原因；从而破坏了经济结构所发挥的作用。这项研究采用的观点是完全不同的：其想法是从经济角度呈现布隆迪的图景，部分地将政治作为背景，但仍基于经验证据。这种方法并不意味着政治是不重要的。我们的拙见是，政治常常受到经济学的束缚甚至控制！投资环境是每个经济体的支柱，布隆迪也不例外。该研究只限于投资环境的非政治决定因素；力图发现那些除了政治之外对投资环境真正重要的因素。结果表明人口增长。出口和私人投资是影响对布隆迪投资的最有力因素。结果为该政策提供了具体依据。
