Abstract

Foreign affiliates of multinational enterprises and FDI flows play an increasing role in regional economic development. As firms decide about the engagement in a particular location, public authorities try to influence the firm-location decision. If regional policies succeed to include multinational enterprises in their development strategy in the interest of both, the region has gained a powerful ally in regional economic development. Hence, public authorities choose the (right) firm by setting incentives such that regional and firm goals are aligned, whereas firms choose the (best) location by calculating the expected return among different regions. In this contribution, we outline a theoretical approach based on the idea that the location choice for foreign affiliates of MNEs is a two-sided matching problem between firms and regions. We show in the empirical analysis that the huge heteroscedasticity among regions allows different regional strategies to find a niche and to attract firms according to their profile.

There is a wide range of data on FDI flows and activities of MNEs from different sources and aggregation levels. Regional data can be found in the Eurostat Structural Business Survey (SBS). At a country level, MNE data is provided by OECD databases, whereas the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and International Trade Center provide FDI data. Moreover, the AMADEUS database of the Bureau van Dijk offers regional FDI stocks, number of foreign-owned firms, sales, value added, and employment of MNEs and their affiliates. However, access and use of the AMADEUS database is restricted to subscriptions.
