Abstract

Although FDI determinants have been broadly studied, there is a lack of consensus on theoretical and empirical analysis from the perspective of emerging countries (ECs) as sources. However, this study aims to address the model uncertainty and non-universality in the empirical findings by performing two model averaging techniques as Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) and Weighted Average Least Squares (WALS) approach. Using a bilateral FDI position dataset for the period 2009–2016, we investigate the robust FDI determinants of 24 ECs in developed, emerging, and other developing countries both at the source and destination level separately. Our findings reveal that the estimated FDI determinants are remarkably heterogeneous with change in the destination. Accordingly, the policymakers of ECs frame somewhat different strategies to channelize their FDI positions.
