“…The proximity is usually measured as a distance between the capital city of the host country and investing country, or a distance between a host country capital and Brussels. Most studies found positive negative correlation between distance and FDI (Bevan and Estrin (2000), Smarzhynska andWei (2000, 2002), Resmini (2000), Johnson (2006)). However, Campos and Kinoshita found positive relation for distance from Brussels for CIS countries, which may indicate that the geographical proximity to the Western markets also play an important role in attracting FDI.…”

“…As a result, exports/imports variables are rarely employed in FDI models. In those cases when they were included, they have been reported to not have a significant impact on FDI (Bevan and Estrin, 2000). Consequently, we decided not to include trade variables in our analysis.…”

ARTICLES Why did the knowledge transition occur in the West and not in the East Economics and Business ReviewEconomics and Business Review, Vol. 1 (15), No. 1, 2015: 69-88 DOI 10.18559/ebr.2015 Synthetic 'real socialism': a counterfactual analysis of political and economic liberalizations 1 Ilaria Petrarca, 2 Roberto Ricciuti 2 Abstract : We evaluate the effect of the 1989 shock over economic development in four Eastern European countries. We apply a counterfactual approach and define the shock alternatively as the trigger for economic openness, political competition, or both. The main result is an effect of economic freedom larger than the one of democratization. In Poland and Bulgaria we find a positive impact of economic freedom, whilst in Bulgaria there is also a smaller effect of democratization. In Albania, after an initial recession, economic freedom helps recovery. Finally Romania does not show any robust effect.

“…It is also widely argued that FDI and the openness of the economy are positively related (Botric and Skuflic 2005, Resmini 1999, Bevan and Estrin 2000, Smarzynska and Wei 2002. Campos and Kinoshita (2003) examined the effect of cumulative external liberalization (which reflected the removal of trade controls and quotas and the moderation of tariff rates and foreign exchange rate restrictions) on FDI inflows and found this indicator to be both highly significant and positive.…”
