Abstract

This study contains an analysis of the main determinants of the inflow of foreign direct investment to Poland. This article is the first of the two parts of the cycle and covers theoretical considerations regarding the determinants of foreign direct investment, serving as the introduction to the second, empirical part, in which the research results will be discussed. This study focused on determining the cause-and-effect relationship between the scale of inflow of foreign direct investment and selected macroeconomic parameters of the economy. Based on the theories and results from previous research, a model was developed in which the variables and the nature of their relationship were determined. The model is based on four latent exogenous variables describing FDI determinants and one latent endogenous variable describing FDI inflow. In the article, structural equation modeling was indicated as a method for analyzing the factors conditioning the inflow of foreign direct investment. The proposed research concept will allow supplementing and extending the analysis of FDI determinants in Poland.
