Abstract: In this study, the determinants of foreign direct investment was analyzed using the 2000-2013 period panel data for selected East Asian and Pacific countries (Australia, China, Indonesia, Philippines, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, New Zealand). Based on the related literature, market size, trade openness, macroeconomic stability, infrastructure, agglomeration effects and political stability had been determined as affecting factors of foreign direct investment. Our general findings from the study reveal that net foreign direct investment inflows depend on the market size, the agglomeration effects and the degree of trade openness. Therefore, it has recommended that the countries, which are aiming to increase the size of the net foreign direct investment inflows, should implement active policies increasing market size and the liberalization of trade practices.
