The outward foreign direct investments of developing economies have showed significant increase in recent years. Rising outward foreign direct investment stock of developing economies makes its determinants and consequences crucial. The aim of this study is to determine the home country specific determinants of outward FDI. For this purpose, a panel data analysis is performed with the data of BRICS and Next Eleven countries for the period from 1994 to 2014. The analysis results reveal that inward foreign direct investment, interest rates and technological capability of home country have positive influence and total labor force of home country has negative effect on outward FDI of developing economies.

Area Of Concern

This chapter begins by describing and assessing trends in foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2012. It then turns to an understudied but increasing area of concern in investment policy—home country measures (HCMs), which influence and often direct investment flows to certain destinations. These measures have an effect on “competitive neutrality” by affecting companies' decisions about where to invest and even about whether to invest; some measures effectively subsidize outward foreign direct investment so long as it is directed in particular ways. The chapter provides a detailed survey of HCMs in the top ten developed countries and the top ten emerging markets, and an analysis of the potential effects of those measures on investment decisions and the policies that home countries seek to effectuate with the establishment of measures that encourage and direct investment.
