"The impact of globalization on FDI - an empirical assessment for Central Eastern European Countries"
by Vechiu, Natalia and Oscar Kuikeu


Abstract
This article analyzes the impact of economic integration under multilateral and preferential arrangements on relocation and welfare. Economic integration is measured by the reduction of interregional trade costs and by the reduction of communication costs between the headquarters and the production units of multinationals firms. We find that generally for high communication costs, industry relocates to the rich region and for low communication costs, to the developing regions, while the reduction of communication costs triggers industry relocation to the region reducing them. The numerical simulations are confirmed by an empirical analysis of the CEECs. Location determinants in these countries are low labour and communication costs. We also checked competition effects between recipient countries in terms of relative labour and communication costs and a significant impact only in terms of communication costs.
