The empirical results indicate that gross domestic product, lending interest rate, labour productivity, exports to home country and imports from home country significantly influenced the level of FDI inflows into Malaysia. However, exchange rate, exchange rate variation, wage and openness index were not important in influencing FDI.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/57903}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.57903}, }
