We analyse the nature of German trade-FDI linkages within the EU27 based on a simultaneous equation gravity approach … for imports, exports, in- and outward FDI stocks. We adopt both a Hausman-Taylor (1981) IV approach (3SLS-GMM) and rival … framework in explaining German trade and FDI activity. Looking carefully at cross-variable linkages we basically find …
