Abstract

Abstract This paper examines the determinants of FDI in small states, as only a small number of studies have analyzed the determinants of FDI in these countries. Small states have particular features that justify the need for a deeper analysis. Based on a panel data for 42 small states between 2005 and 2019, results clearly indicate the importance of the quality of human capital and the availability of infrastructures as the strongest drivers of FDI in small states. The country's level of openness, the availability of natural resources, the level of corporate tax and control of corruption also seems to play a relevant role therein. Moreover, the results suggest that the determinants differ depending on the region to which the country belongs and differ between island and non-island countries. These results can help small countries in defining policies that help them to attract FDI, which is crucial for their sustainable development.

小国外国直接投资的驱动因素

摘要本文考察了小国家外国直接投资的决定因素，因为只有少数研究分析了这些国家外国直接外资的决定因素。小国具有特殊的特点，因此有必要进行更深入的分析。根据2005年至2019年间42个小州的面板数据，结果清楚地表明，人力资本质量和基础设施的可用性是小州外国直接投资的最强驱动力。该国的开放程度、自然资源的可用性、公司税的水平和对腐败的控制似乎也在其中发挥了相关作用。此外，研究结果表明，决定因素因国家所属地区而异，岛屿国家和非岛屿国家之间也有所不同。这些结果可以帮助小国制定有助于吸引外国直接投资的政策，这对其可持续发展至关重要。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
