Abstract

Foreign direct investment (FDI) nowadays mostly corresponds to activities in urban areas. This study provides the first global analysis of the determinants of urban FDI (UFDI). We assemble and exploit a unique database on the location choices of multinational enterprises in urban areas worldwide to investigate the relevance of local, national, and dynamic drivers of cities' international attractiveness. We find that attractive cities are large, productive, endowed with transport infrastructure able to move goods and people within and beyond their borders, abundant in educated people, and embedded in attractive national spaces. Cities combining all these attributes tend to attract service activities. Attractiveness is persistent but can evolve depending on economic dynamism. A variance decomposition analysis indicates that the location choices of UFDI are mainly driven by city‐level determinants, notably transport infrastructure.

城市的国际吸引力:城市外国直接投资的驱动因素
如今,外国直接投资(FDI)大多与城市地区的活动相对应。本研究首次对城市外国直接投资(UFDI)的决定因素进行了全球性分析。我们汇集并利用全球城市地区跨国企业地点选择的独特数据库,研究城市国际吸引力的地方、国家和动态驱动因素的相关性。我们发现,有吸引力的城市规模大、生产力高、拥有能够在其边界内外运输货物和人员的交通基础设施、拥有大量受过教育的人口,并且坐落在有吸引力的国家空间中。具备所有这些特征的城市往往能吸引服务活动。吸引力是持久的,但也会随着经济活力的变化而变化。方差分解分析表明,对外直接投资的区位选择主要受城市一级决定因素的驱动,特别是交通基础设施。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
