Market Potential, Productivity and Foreign Direct Investment: Some Evidence from Three Case StudiesLionel ArtigeUniversity of Liege - HEC Management School Rosella NicoliniUniversitat Autònoma de Barcelona January 30, 2009 European Planning Studies, Vol. 18, No. 2, pp. 147-168, 2010 Abstract: This paper aims at analysing the importance of local determinants to foreign direct investment (FDI) in three European regional case studies. The originality of the approach lies in the use of disaggregated data by sector and by region. The results are threefold. First, regional demand and productivity are fundamental FDI determinants, confirming most studies with national data. Second, regional FDI inflows are more dependent on regional than national determinants. Finally, the effect of market potential measured with absolute GDP on regional FDI diminishes linearly with distance and does not when measured with GDP per capita.
