In addition, this dataset has an exceptional feature – it allows identifying the sectors that these firms invest in. The sectoral analysis is undertaken both at 2-digit ISIclassification and aggregate level where sectors are lumped according to their tradability or technology intensity. The empirical results suggest that the determinants of the probability that a MNC invests in a particular country vary across sectors. Thus, the sectoral composition of FDI is essential for understanding its economic geography.x, 78 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessForeign direct investmentLocation choiceMultinational enterprisesSectorsHG5706.A3 D46 2007Investments, Foreign Turkey.ThesisBILKUTUPB103033
