“…In this context, Paniagua et al (2015), Mateus et al (2016), Leitão (2017), Warren et al (2023) also support a negative between geographical distance and the inward of FDI, demonstrating that transportation costs tend to decrease with geographical proximity. The empirical studies of Pan et al (2022), Bi et al (2020), and Dorakh (2020) also found a negative impact of geographical distance on FDI. This result reflects the idea that geographical proximity promotes inward FDI.…”

Cultural and linguistic affinities have been studied in international business through the gravity model and economics of language. International investment theories enable the assessment of organisational, location, and internalisation motivations. The present study assesses the impact of transport costs, common language and market size based on the arguments of the gravity model, economics of language, and international investment theory. This investigation evaluates the relationship between the Portuguese FDI and the gravity model, using panel data between 2005 and 2020. The OLS estimator, PPML-Poisson Pseudo-Maximum-Likelihood estimator, and panel quantile regressions were used as an econometric methodology. Regarding research, we sought to understand to what extent cultural and linguistic issues, namely Portuguese-speaking countries, contribute to explaining Portuguese FDI. The economic dimension of the Portuguese economy and investor countries were introduced into the regression model. In addition, transportation and transaction costs were analysed across geographical distances. The econometric results show that the common language and cultural aspects are positively correlated with the Portuguese FDI, which allows us to conclude that the Portuguese language reduces the asymmetries between the home market and the host country. When panel quantile regressions are applied, it is possible to observe that the Portuguese economy has dimension enough to attract FDI, just as the countries investing in the Portuguese economy have a return on the investment made. Finally, geographical distance negatively impacts FDI, showing that geographical proximity increases the probability of attracting FDI.

“…The gravity model applied from Taiwan FDI banking to Asian economies was investigated by Pan et al (2022) using OLS, fixed effects, and random effects from 2000 to 2019. The empirical results showed that economic dimension or size, economic freedom, and bilateral trade encourage FDI.…”
