Attractiveness of Central European Transitional Countries for Foreign Investment

Abstract

In this article Central European Countries are ranked depending on how attractive they are to international companies for investment. In the process of managerial decision-making about investment, companies mostly use statistical data published by international institutions. Such wide and heterogeneous set of quantitative and qualitative information need to be compared and analyzed systematically, and it can be done by using the method of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). An estimation is performed considering two important aspects simultaneously – the level of institutional reforms being realized and the level of economic performances attained by an individual country.
