Abstract

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is one of the driving forces behind the development of emerging markets. Since India began to liberalise its economy in 1991, the country has become increasingly attractive as FDI destination. The regional distribution of FDI, however, is largely unbalanced. Our data show that the location choice of FDI in India is particularly determined by the level of corruption, the literacy rate, the density of higher education institutes, and to a lesser extent also by the geographical location, thus revealing significant differences as compared with FDI location choices in China.
