Abstract:
This paper studies the effects of migration on the bilateral FDI of five European countries,
Germany, Italy, France, UK and Spain. It is based on five datasets with time spans going from 1990
to 2006. It analyses the impacts of skilled and less-skilled immigrants, of skilled networks from
developed and developing countries and, for Italy and Spain, of emigrants. Results are that skilled
immigrants, originating from both developed and developing countries, have positive and robust
effects on the bilateral FDI of the UK, Germany and France. The FDI of Italy and Spain are
influenced by their respective diasporas
