Abstract

This article analyses the foreign direct investment (FDI) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) during the post communist era and tests the hypothesis that FDI contributes to the economic growth of the CEE countries. It reflects macroeconomic changes in post communist CEE and estimates the impact of the FDI stock on economic growth in the CEE using model based on the production function. This paper finds a positive association between FDI and economic growth in the CEE and a tremendous impact of FDI stock on GDP growth.
