Abstract
Globalization and technological innovations create investment opportunities for enterprises worldwide. While firms pursue foreign direct investment opportunities on a global basis, countries compete to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. Recent studies suggest that corruption negatively impacts FDI inflows and may act as a tax on foreign direct investment. Transparency International, a non-profit organization, publishes an annual index measuring the perceived level of corruption in countries all over the world. Countries competing for FDI inflows are ranked from least-corrupt to most-corrupt. This paper analyses FDI inflows between the least corrupt and most corrupt countries as determined by Transparency Internationals Corruption Perceptions Index. Using UNCTADs Inward FDI Potential Index and Inward FDI Performance Index this paper assesses and draws conclusions regarding the absolute amount of FDI inflows, FDI inflows adjusted for country size, and FDI inflow potential.
