“…Building on previous literature that has considered the role of the EU integration process in institutional development and thereby FDI attraction, (Oxelheim and Ghauri, 2004;Nakamura et al 2012), we consider data in the World Governance Index (WGI) in 16 Eastern European countries 2 . These include countries that are on their way to EU membership, current members and non-members.…”

This research challenges the contemporary view of economic policy makers in transition European economies that the EU integration process will lead to a greater inflow of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), thereby increasing living standards. With the Brexit referendum, the integration of the EU has been threatened by a distressing existential question: is EU membership valuable for transition countries if even developed countries (like the UK) vote to leave or decided not to align like Switzerland and Norway in the past? Our analysis considers the success of several countries in Eastern Europe in attracting and benefiting from FDI on their way to EU membership. Analyzing a 13-year panel data of 16 transition countries, we found no statistically significant positive association between FDI inflow and EU accession. We argue, that it is also important to consider the welfare for domestic economies that can emerge from those investments. We illustrate this through the case study of a successful combination of institutional development and local content policies implementation accompanied by sufficient FDI inflows in a non-EU country -Kazakhstan.

“…FDI can be researched in two ways as inflows and outflows as well as outward and inward stocks. We selected stock inward data, in order to reduce missing data due to minus flows logarithm, and this solution is also widely applied in various empirical research [Nakamura, Olsson, Lönnborg 2012]. Subasat and Bellos [Subasat, Bellos 2013] in their gravity model analysis "use FDI stocks because stocks are more stable than flows" as they underline.…”

The main objective of the article is to verify the impact of inward FDI on domestic entrepreneurship in four Visegrad countries in the years 2000-2012. The reliable sources of data were used, among them statistical data of Eurostat, and UNDP. The relationship between FDI and entrepreneurship can be confirmed as basing on the OLS regression there is a statistically significant positive correlation between the stock FDI and the entrepreneurship rate, however the impact of FDI was different in different analysed countries -the strongest in Slovakia, while the weakest in Hungary.

“…(2004) and Medve‐Bálint (2014) held that the EU’s expansion was one of the important reasons for the rapid growth of FDI stock in CEE over the past 10 years. Richard Nakmura et al (2012) used the Poisson pseudo maximum likelihood estimation method to test the impact of the EU’s accession on the FDI stock in the Baltic Sea region, and the results revealed that the average level of FDI stock in this region increased by 6% after the EU’s accession compared with before. The results achieved by Jones et al (2017) showed that the EU’s enlargement reduced border costs, and in turn, strengthened the attractiveness of FDI.…”

A quasi‐natural experiment research regarding the impact of regional integration expansion in the Yangtze River Delta on foreign direct investment

Whether regional integration can promote the urban agglomeration to attract foreign direct investment and expand the opening-up is a question worthy of in-depth discussion. This paper constructs a quasi-natural experiment from the perspective of regional integration expansion in the Yangtze River Delta, using the panel data of 208 cities in China from 2005 to 2017. The main purposes are to examine and analyze the common trends and regional differences regarding the influences of regional integration on FDI in entire cities, incumbent cities, and new cities. Next, the internal mechanisms of expansion on FDI are explored. The results show that the regional integration exerted a significant positive effect on the FDI of the entire Yangtze River Delta. For different regions, the effect of regional integration on FDI in the incumbent cities was higher than that in the new cities. In terms of mechanisms, regional integration could affect FDI through industrial division mechanism and market unification mechanism, yet the role of economic connection mechanism exhibited regional differences. The conclusions of this paper bear important enlightenment for promoting the construction of regional integration in China and the high-quality growth of FDI in the Yangtze River Delta.
