This paper investigates the role of economic structures as determinants of FDI inflows. We expand on the existing literature by focusing on advanced economies, using a newly available measure of FDI which cleans the data from statistical artefacts, such as financial round tripping, and by relying on a wide variety of measures that proxy the quality of a country's economic structures. Our results show that there is an empirical relation from the quality of a host country's economic structures to FDI inflows. These results are robust to various economic specifications and are confirmed when restricting our sample to euro area countries only. |
