16. III. Determinants of FDI
Brock (1998) market size and the crime situation
FDI

determinants
(1993-1995) for the Moscow and St. Petersburg regions.

Broadman & market size, the extent of infrastructure development
Recanatini and prevailing policy frameworks
(2001)

determinants
of FDI inflows FDI flows from 1995-1998, loses its explanatory power

Gross products of host regions
and source countries,
agglomeration effect, Moscow city
advantages, cultural closeness
and an abundance of skilled labor

related to the dependent variable

Svetlana Ledyaeva
(2007) Market size, the presence of big cities and sea
the determinants and ports, oil and gas resources and political and
5 spatial relationships of legislative risks
FDI inflows into
Russian regions more suitable in accordance with the situation in
during transition recent years
(1996-2005)
21. The determinants and spatial relationships of FDI inflows into Russian
regions during 1996-2005 by Svetlana Ledyaeva (2007)
----------------------------------------------------------
1. Leading determinants
in this analysis include:
Big market size
(population, various
markets in the economy)
22. The determinants and spatial relationships of FDI inflows into Russian
regions during 1996-2005 by Svetlana Ledyaeva (2007)
----------------------------------------------------------
Big city advantages:
• Abundant resources (Sakhalin has oil
and gas, Magadan has gold and coal and
Khabarovsk has big gold and forest
resources…)
• Skilled labour force (in Moscow,
Leningrad and St. Petersburg)
• Transportation infrastructure (sea ports
in Primorskii, Sakhalin and Krasnodar)

regions during 1996-2005 by Svetlana Ledyaeva (2007)
----------------------------------------------------------
The intensive development of oil
and gas minefields in Sakhalin region
has been largely funded under
production sharing agreements
(PSA) in recent years
=> The Sakhalin and Tyumen
regions are the most strategically
promising oil and gas regions in
Russia
Their attractiveness to foreign
investors has gained along with rising
world oil and gas prices

industries and the
