Abstract

We examine the risk factors that affect foreign direct investment (FDI) in Mongolia's mining sector. By applying the complex network approach, we obtain the importance and ranking of each risk factor. Further, we divide these risk factors into three levels. The first level includes government stability, business regulations, and so on, while the second level includes culture and religion, transportation cost, and so on.The third level includes electricity supply, GDP, and so forth. The results suggest that foreign companies should focus on first and second level risk factors, while also giving due consideration to third level risk factors.
