Determinants of German Foreign Direct Investment: Evidence from Micro Data

Year:    1994

Author:    Wagner, Joachim, Schnabel, Claus

Journal of Contextual Economics – Schmollers Jahrbuch, Vol. 114 (1994), Iss. 2 : pp. 185–191

Abstract

This note presents the first attempt to investigate the determinants of foreign direct investment (fdi) of German firms using micro data. It is based on recently collected data for a large number of firms from all manufacturing industries. The results of the econometric study support the hypotheses that the relationship between firm size and the probability of fdi is inversely u-shaped, and that both experience in exporting and a higher intensity of research and development (measured at the industry level) have a positive impact on fdi.
