Using a dynamic system generalized method of moments estimator, we examine twenty-one countries for the period 1994-2008. We find that when human capital is controlled for, the host country investment profile has a positive effect on agricultural FDI and the host country state of democracy positively affects agricultural and manufacturing FDI. In addition, services FDI is attracted by educated labor, whereas FDI to other sectors is attracted by cheap labor. Moreover, natural resource endowments have a positive impact on FDI in the sectors of agriculture and manufacturing.en-USDemocratic AccountabilityInstitutional DeterminantsInvestment ProfileSectoral FDIForeign Direct-investmentReal Exchange-rateUnited-StatesTax PolicyPanel-DataCorruptionRatesGovernancePatternsDecisionDemokratik HesapKurumsal BelirleyicileriYatırım ProfiliSektörel DYYDoğrudan Yabancı YatırımReel Döviz KuruBirleşik DevletleriVergi PolitikasıPanel VerisiRüşvetOranlarYönetimDesenlerKararArticle000314508500003314508500003
