Abstract: This paper describes the procedure to obtain a consistent data set of Foreign Direct Investments Stocks in 2001 for nearly all EU countries and for 10 sectors of economic activity. Our point of departure are the reported inwards FDI stocks by partner country of the OECD. Then a data set of total outward- en inward stocks by country are constructed by using observations or estimations. Assumptions are made to determine to the total outward en inward stock per sector and country to and from the world, where after the rest of world by sector is determined as a residual. Given these targets an estimation procedure has been developed to calculate the bilateral stocks per sector between the countries / regions.
