Abstract
Using a dataset of greenfield investments for the period of 1997-2008, the paper by three Dutch researchers seeks to determine to what extent Chinese and Indian foreign direct investment (FDI) in Europe is attracted to specific regional location factors. The authors utilize descriptive statistics and a negative binominal estimation method to analyze the number of greenfield investments, in an effort to explain why Chinese and Indian FDI is quite unevenly distributed across Europe. Support is marshaled for the hypothesis that Chinese and Indian FDI is more horizontal than vertical in character, and that divergence over time between current core European locations and more peripheral ones is increasing.
