Tiivistelmä: | This article examines how EMU has influenced on foreign direct investment flows. Exchange rate uncertainty has a negative effect on cross-border investment flows; therefore, increase in international investments could be expected from fixing the exchange rates. Using a gravity model on a sample of OECD countries, this hypothesis is confirmed. The currency union boosts FDI. Besides eliminating the exchange rate uncertainty, the same currency seems to have other positive effects as well. |
