Abstract

Considering the significant positive impact of foreign direct investments on the developing economies, we have tried in this paper to identify the main factors influencing one way or another the flows and stocks of FDI. Our sample includes four host countries with a similar past from Eastern Europe and five home countries with an important contribution to the FDI stocks within the host countries. After choosing the main potential impact factors based on previous theoretical and empirical evidence, we have performed a panel data analysis based on a gravitational approach.
