Abstract: The increasing level of competition for foreign direct investment (FDI) in the ‘90s triggered many countries to offer various fiscal incentives. Specifically, many Asian countries persistently keep their tax rates competitive. To empirically investigate the relationship between the two variables, this paper examines the impact of fiscal incentives on FDI using panel data from 1996 to 2012 for 5 ASEAN countries. The analysis utilized 5 panel data regression models, of which 2 are fixed-effects models and the remaining 3 are random effects models. {DISCUSSION PAPER SERIES NO. 2016-17].
