Can Ease of Doing Business Shorten the Distance and Attract Foreign Direct Investment by AL KHOORI, YOUSUF

“…In contrast to our theoretical assumptions, we found that the moderating effect of the ease of doing business index on the relationship between geographical distance and FDI is negatively significant. Interestingly, the result further indicates that the ease of doing business scoring does not moderate the relationship between cultural distance and FDI inflow. …”
