Abstract: BRICS are the fast-growing emerging economies and have become most favoured destination for the foreign investors. Present paper endeavours to study the effect of capital formation, employment and foreign direct investment inflows on GDP in BRICS countries with panel data for the time period 2001-2017. Gross domestic product was taken as explained variable, and GFCF (Gross Fixed Capital Formation), employment and foreign direct investment inflows were taken as explanatory variables. Two different models, i.e. FEM and REM, were used for the analysis. Hausman test revealed that FEM model was applicable to the data. We found that all the three explanatory variables enhanced GDP. The results are in agreement with previous literature and strengthen the argument of giving a fillip to capital, labour and FDI to boost economic growth in BRICS countries.
