“…Foreign investment capital is important for the growth and development of both developing and developed economies (Nguyen, 2023). Therefore, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow and its determinants have been discussed by various researchers in a wide range of contexts at the national, regional and firm levels (refer to Abu and Karim, 2016;Buckley et al, 2012;Dinh et al, 2019;Gheorghe and Marian, 2014;Nielsen et al, 2017;Rahman and Shahbaz, 2013;Singh, 2023).…”

PurposeThis study aims to examine foreign direct investment (FDI) factors and develops a rational framework for FDI inflow in Western European countries such as France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria.Design/methodology/approachData for this study were collected from the World development indicators (WDI) database from 1995 to 2018. Factors such as economic growth, pollution, trade, domestic capital investment, gross value-added and the financial stability of the country that influence FDI decisions were selected through empirical literature. A framework was developed using interpretable machine learning (IML), decision trees and three-stage least squares simultaneous equation methods for FDI inflow in Western Europe.FindingsThe findings of this study show that there is a difference between the most important and trusted factors for FDI inflow. Additionally, this study shows that machine learning (ML) models can perform better than conventional linear regression models.Research limitations/implicationsThis research has several limitations. Ideally, classification accuracies should be higher, and the current scope of this research is limited to examining the performance of FDI determinants within Western Europe.Practical implicationsThrough this framework, the national government can understand how investors make their capital allocation decisions in their country. The framework developed in this study can help policymakers better understand the rationality of FDI inflows.Originality/valueAn IML framework has not been developed in prior studies to analyze FDI inflows. Additionally, the author demonstrates the applicability of the IML framework for estimating FDI inflows in Western Europe.

With great excitement, we have begun the year 2023 by celebrating the entry of the Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science (JEFAS) in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) of the core collection of the Web of Science (WoS). In addition, to reinforce its evaluation of impact criteria, WoS has requested the entry of JEFAS from its 2020 issues, which are already available in the core collection.Likewise, JEFAS achieved a CiteScore of 4.8 at Scopus last year (2022), doubling its previous CiteScore of 2.4 (2021). This is a great happiness because it positions JEFAS in the Top 30 of the world's best Open-Access (OA)-indexed journals in the category of economics, econometrics and finance, ranking 2nd in Ibero-america and 1st in Latin America. This step forward would not have been possible without the joint effort of an entire editorial team highly committed to education and academic research, a commitment that is an essential value in the life of ESAN. Indeed, this recognition involves the history of ESAN institutions, authorities and decision-makers, as well as editorial members, professors, researchers, authors and reviewers from different countries and continents, who have committed themselves and ultimately left a legacy through our scientific journal.This new achievement comes hand in hand with the 60th anniversary of our institution, the ESAN Graduate School of Business, whose history exemplifies a nourished teachinglearning relationship. History of our journal is also a prominent part, always promoting the labour of professional researchers in the areas of business economics, econometrics, finance and administrative sciences.The arrival of papers on our platform is continuous, and the editorial team works on selecting and filtering articles that meet the journal's scope. Thanks to this work and the contribution of prestigious reviewers to achieve the appropriate publication level, today we can present volume 28, issue 55, comprised of two sections. The first part makes up the regular issue, bringing together four papers, and the second part is a first special section, "Business Economics in Ibero-America", with a selection of seven articles.
