No 63, UNCTAD Blue Series Papers from United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

Abstract: Motivations for foreign direct investment (FDI) could be multiple. This paper conducts a general examination of the influence of market access conditions on FDI decisions using a unique data set on bilateral FDI outward stocks and novel measures of market access. We find that over the period 1990–2010, export platform and complex-vertical investment strategies have been driving FDI decisions around the world.
