Abstract The attraction of inward FDI in Greece is a critical condition for Greece’s economic recovery due to the prolonged economic crisis and sustained investment hardship. Consequently, this study aims to provide essential implications by examining factors that can influence foreign direct investment decisions. The findings provide new insights regarding the diachronically high importance of technological capabilities compared to other FDI determinants such as the market size, trade openness, quality of the indigenous workforce, and local infrastructure, as the main determinants of inward FDI in Greece over the period 1980–2016.

对外国直接投资决定因素之间因果关系的调查：来自希腊的经验证据

摘要由于长期的经济危机和持续的投资困难，吸引外国直接投资进入希腊是希腊经济复苏的关键条件。因此，本研究旨在通过研究可能影响外国直接投资决策的因素来提供实质性含义。研究结果提供了与其他外国直接投资决定因素相比，技术能力历来高度重要的新见解，例如市场规模，贸易开放性，本地劳动力的素质和当地基础设施，这些都是1980年希腊对外直接投资的主要决定因素–2016年。
