FDI as an Export-Platform: A Gravity Model for the Danish Agri-Food Industry

Arbeitspapier

We investigate factors affecting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) outflow from Danish agri-food firms to the rest of the world. We develop a conceptual model and subsequently use a gravity model based on data from 127 countries receiving Danish FDI in agri-food in 2004-2008. We find higher Danish FDI towards countries with large exports of agri-food, thereby supporting the hypothesis that FDI is used as an export-platform. FDI is coupled with high exports from Denmark, probably of raw or semi-processed food products for further processing and exports. We also find that FDI is higher in countries with stable political regimes.
