    Abstract

    The empirical literature on FDI flows has noted a number of stylised facts: investment in training is carried out by MNEs, particularly those with sophisticated technologies, and host country absorptive capacity along with low wages attracts FDI. This paper explains these phenomena in an integrated theoretical framework.
