The research delves into the determinants of inward FDI to Colombia in the context of economic integration promoted by … the country more attractive to foreign direct investment (FDI), in a framework of fiscal discipline and a stable economic … environment for economic growth, albeit characterised by complex institutional conditions.

This paper uses a "gravity model" approach to assess the impact of the deepening integration between … the EU and the CEECs on FDI flows in terms of three key issues. First, we provide systematic estimates of the expected …
