“…First of all, we test for the standard FDI determinants including market size, trade openness, labor cost, as well as human capital using school enrollment on secondary education as an appropriate proxy (see Nourzad et al., ; Sekkat and Veganzones‐Varoudakis, ; Agiomirgianakis et al., ). Moreover, we test for the impact of market instability proxied by inflation as well as for the impact of the share of gross capital formation on FDI inflows.…”

In this paper we examine the foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow determinants in 24 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and 22 developing (non-OECD) countries over 1980-2012, using the standard fixed effects as well as a dynamic panel approach. The most robust finding is that lagged FDI, market size, gross capital formation and corporate taxation significantly affect FDI inflows in OECD countries. We also examine a group of developing countries, taking into consideration the increased share of world FDI inflows that developing countries have attracted, and compare the results. In this case, lagged FDI, market size, labor cost and institutional variables provide the most robust results. The empirical results have important policy implications indicating the factors that host economies should emphasize in order to attract FDI inflows.

“…The real effective exchange rate is positively correlated with FDI inflows in the long run, but not in the short run (Ramirez and Kőműves, 2014). The analysis of the potential interaction between FDI and the host country's infrastructure base (employing a panel dataset involving 46 countries, using the size of three types of infrastructure capital: telecommunication, power generation, and network of roads or highways) approves that the size of the host country's infrastructure base assists to increase the effect of FDI on real income (Nourzad et al, 2014).…”

This study explores the determinants of foreign direct investment based on panel data analysis. It addresses the relationship of the performance logistics and the shipping connectivity and the foreign direct investment (FDI). This study attempted to fill this gap by estimating the impact of these factors on the FDI, based on World Development Indicators database of 39 developing maritime nations over the period [2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015][2016]. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between countries' foreign direct investment and their logistics performance, and their shipping connectivity. The study has the originality to introduce tow logistics variables (logistics performance and maritime connectivity) in addition to controlling variables (exchange rate, and gross of domestic product). Empirical results suggest that the shipping connectivity, as well as the logistics performance, could be determinants of foreign direct investment. Concerning control variables result is in line with some study, the coefficient of GDP per capita is positive and significant, while the ORE has a significant negative coefficient.

“…One type of research focuses on the interaction effect of FDI and Infrastructure on economic growth. Nourzad et al (2014) put forward hypotheses that the effect of FDI on per capita real income depends on the size of the host country's infrastructure and verified the hypothesis. Sui et al (2017) analyzed the relationship between China's FDI in the countries along the Belt and Road, the infrastructure construction along the Belt and Road and the actual GDP of these countries based on the unbalanced panel data of 64 countries from 2003 to 2012.…”

As a synthesis of capital, technology, knowledge and information, foreign direct investment(FDI) has a significant impact on the host country's economy, and the infrastructure is no exception which is an important part of one country's economy. This paper aims to empirically analyse the impact of FDI on infrastructure, using the panel data of ASEAN countries’ infrastructure and FDI from 2003 to 2017 and compare the infrastructure effect of FDI from China and FDI from countries besides China. Result shows that FDI of ASEAN countries did improve the infrastructure level and for every 1% increase in FDI of ASEAN countries, the infrastructure level of ASEAN countries rose 0.308%. In addition, FDI from China of ASEAN countries did improve the infrastructure level and for every 1% increase in FDI from China of ASEAN countries, the infrastructure level of ASEAN countries rose 0.252%. Therefore, as a bottleneck of ASEAN's economic development, infrastructure can be improved by attracting FDI, especially FDI from China.
