Determinants of German FDI: New Evidence from Micro-DataClaudia M. BuchUniversity of Tuebingen - Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Jörn Kleinertaffiliation not provided to SSRN Farid ToubalParis School of Economics (PSE) March 2003 Deutsche Bundesbank, Economic Research Centre Discussion Paper No. 09/03 Abstract: This paper provides new evidence on the foreign direct investment stocks of German firms. We use firm-level data for the years 1990-2000 to describe the regional and sectoral patterns of German FDI through gravity-type equations. We provide evidence on the patterns of FDI by sector, by size of the foreign affiliate, and by the number of affiliates per host country. While market size and geographic distance have a significant impact on FDI stocks, we also find differences in the determinants of FDI between sectors as well as between the size of foreign affiliates and the number of foreign affiliates.
