Abstract This paper seeks to empirically examine the validity of nexus between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and poverty reduction in the context of twelve European transition and post-transition countries divided in two regions, between 2000 and 2015. The empirical analysis investigates whether some variations in poverty reduction are influenced by countries’ FDI performance and lead by progress in the EU integration process. The study finds that the nexus between FDI and poverty reduction varies between two regions (the Western Balkan region and the Central Europe region). While the relationship between FDI and poverty reduction has a positive effect in the Western Balkan region, it is insignificant and negative in the Central European region. In addition, the findings confirm some earlier assumptions that FDI impacts poverty reduction more strongly in poorer countries (the Western Balkan region) than in wealthier countries (the Central European region).

外国直接投资 (FDI) 是否有助于减少贫困?来自中欧和西巴尔干国家的经验证据

摘要 本文试图在 2000 年至 2015 年间分为两个区域的 12 个欧洲转型和转型后国家的背景下,实证检验外国直接投资 (FDI) 与减贫之间关系的有效性。减贫受各国 FDI 表现的影响,并受欧盟一体化进程进展的影响。研究发现,外国直接投资与减贫之间的联系在两个地区(西巴尔干地区和中欧地区)之间存在差异。FDI 与减贫之间的关系在西巴尔干地区具有积极影响,但在中欧地区则微不足道且为消极影响。此外,
