Abstract:     
The impact of FDI onto host countries economies is heavily debated, particularly for transition economies. However, sectoral research is scarce. Building on Aristotelous and Fountas (1996) and using data from automobile manufacturers associations (OICA and ACEA), we analyze the impact of automotive FDI on exports and GDP growth for five transition economies over the 1995-2006 period. We find that automotive FDI triggered economic growth in several CEE countries, though at varying degrees.
