This paper uses bilateral FDI flows data to investigate trends in intra-Asian FDI flows over the period 1990-2005. It employs an augmented gravity model to identify the main determinants of intra-Asian FDI flows. Possible drivers of FDI flows, including transactional and informational distance (proxied by distance), real sector variables, financial variables, and quality of institutions are examined.ENInternational InvestmentLong-term Capital Movements F210Multinational FirmsInternational Business F230Economic Development: Financial MarketsSaving and Capital InvestmentCorporate Finance and Governance O160International Linkages to DevelopmentRole of International Organizations O190Socialist Institutions and Their Transitions: International Trade, Finance, Investment, and Aid P330Journal ArticleWorld Bank
