This chapter develops a framework for the whole book and defines a road map for the chapters that follow it. However, in order to follow the road map or to go through the stages of analyses defined for a comprehensive economic study called a feasibility study for an investment project, the starting point is to select a country for the foreign direct investment contemplated. Therefore, country selection is the first step for starting a comprehensive economic study for planning and analyzing foreign direct investments. For this reason, before starting to plan, analyze, and evaluate a foreign direct investment, a country has to be determined for the direct investment project intended. As such, factors affecting country selection in terms of opportunities and risks related to alternative countries are specified and elaborated first and then put together in an example to develop a methodology for selecting a host country for the direct investment planned abroad. Country selection is based on a procedural methodology that goes through, firstly, a scanning stage that aims at identifying possible countries for investment; secondly, eliminating less desirable countries for determining possible candidates; and finally, choosing the most adequate country for investment through a so-called opportunity-risk matrix.

This study demonstrates, through the use both qualitative and quantitative data, that there are several factors determining Foreign Direct Investment flows between two countries. A total of 180 accountants were surveyed in this study, whereby the majority of respondents agreed that Capital Gains Tax is an important factor determining FDI flow within a tax treaty but is not the only significant factor. The study also used regression analysis through a gravity equation to confirm the survey’s conclusion. Using Mauritius and a host of its tax treaty partners as proxies, it was found that Gross Domestic Product per capita, Capital Gains Tax, common language and distance were major factors affecting Foreign Direct Investment flow in a bilateral tax treaty. This study gives a good insight on the reasons why foreign investors use the Mauritian tax treaty network as a platform for investment. The main rationale for such investments was attributed to Mauritius offering a 0% Capital Gains Tax rate and being a low tax jurisdiction. However, this study sheds new light on this reasoning and provides evidence that investment does not depend solely on Capital Gains Tax levy but also a host of other important factors.
