TY - JOUR TI - Competing-destinations gravity model: an application to the geographic distribution of FDI T2 - Applied Economics VL - 41 IS - 17 AU - de Mello-Sampayo, F. PY - 2009 SP - 2237-2253 SN - 0003-6846 DO - 10.1080/00036840701765346 UR - http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00036840701765346 AB - The competing-destinations formulation of the gravity model ensues from the fact that unlike the classical version, this approach explicitly acknowledges the interdependence of the flows between a set of alternative locations, i.e. country-recipients are competing for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). This article examines empirically a range of theoretical hypotheses about the determinants of FDI location in a panel data regression framework. The results of the estimation of a gravity model lend support to the proximity-concentration and internalization hypotheses. Also, the fact that FDI has been found to be decreasing in the competition posed by alternative locations is suggestive of the superiority of the competing-destinations version of the gravity equation over its classical formulation.
