Abstract

This study aims to see the effect of the taxation regime and the human development index (HDI) on investment in the upstream oil and gas industry in eight oil and gas-producing countries for the period 2006-2018. The eight oil and gas-producing countries are the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Norway, China, Indonesia, Peru, and Argentina. This study employs a quantitative method with panel data regression. The result shows that tax regime policy has a negative impact whereby a one per cent point increase in the tax rate will drive a decline in oil and gas upstream investment by 1.93 per cent. Meanwhile, the HDI has a positive significance on upstream oil and gas investment. An increase in the value of HDI by one per cent will increase the investment in the upstream oil and gas industry by 3.83 per cent.
