Abstract

This paper investigates the determinants of Foreign direct investment (FDI) in selected 78 countries. The paper uses the data sets from 2000 to 2018, according to World Bank Statistics. The chosen empirical model is based on FDI theories and previous empirical studies on this subject. Due to availability of data, selected counties are divided into 4 groups (advanced economies, developing countries, transition economies and low income counties). The results indicate trade openness is significant factor for FDI inflows in selected countries.
