Abstract

This paper below is continuing once more on our studies about international directly invested capital. This latest approach of ours still aims to detect such specific flows across the world as resulting from data provided by the UNCTAD’s specific statistics for the 1990-2015 interval the way that equations, in general, are supposed to be solved once their unknowns are found. This case still is one of „a single equation with several unknowns”. And here the previous methods, as well as descriptions, will bear some adjustments in the below lines, despite the model that remains the same as in our previous papers, and some of our previous conclusions will here come to adjust, as well. But first of all it is our theory on FDI requiring its assertion, together with its specific model – i.e. another kind of model – able to identify the investor countries and then find where these investor countries invest their capitals and, on the other hand, where the recipient countries collect their international capital funding from.
