The dataset covers ten selected developing countries in Asia using yearly data over the period from 1975 through 2009.
The Hausmans specification test is conducted to compare results of fixed effects to random effects.

Results indicate that location determinants of FDI are important in attracting FDI flows for Asian developing countries.
Our findings show that the main determinants of FDI for developing countries in Asia include market size, infrastructure development, trade openness, financial deepening, GDP growth, economie development, and human capital.
Estimates are robust in the different econometrie specifications and show that FDI flows into Asian developing countries are encouraged through economie size, financial deepening, development in infrastructure, trade openness, GDP growth, economie development, and human capital.
