Abstract

Petrochemical industry plays an important role in the world economy and has many forward and backward linkages with other sectors. Therefore, capacity expansion through attracting FDI in this industry can help the economy of the host countries to enjoy technology transfer and to grow faster.The main purpose of this study is to present and estimate a model in which the major determinants of FDI in the Iran's Petrochemical Industry are specified. The model coefficients are estimated by the PANEL DATA, using observations of FDI and the relevant variables on a set of the Iranian individual petrochemical complexes, over the period 1993-2002.The estimation results indicate that profitability of the host industry, the economic size (production capacity), the degree of openness of the industry and the level of R&D expenses affect significantly the inflow of FDI to the Iran's Petrochemical Industry. In other words, improvement in the quantity and quality of such significant factors leads to the inflow of FDI to petrochemical industry of Iran and eventually expanding potential of the industry as well as other sectors dependent on development of the petrochemical industry.
