Lorena Škuflić

Abstract

Foreign direct investments, according to the home countries as well as economic activities, have been analyzed in the 1993-2008 period. Special emphasis is put on the regional (NUTS 2) and county level analysis, based on the data for the 1997-2007. The FDI determinants on the county level have been analyzed for the first time in Croatia, and the results have confirmed that the share of the highly-educated, export orientation as well as higher share of domestic investment in the county represent positive characteristics for foreign investors, when choosing a location for investment within Croatia.
