摘要：

This paper investigates the location selection decisions of Korean firms that established manufacturing operations in the European Union (EU) during the period 1986-1997. We assume that the major characteristics of each EU country are given and estimate the probability of selecting a particular country using a conditional logit model. The results suggest that Korean firms prefer to select a host country that has a large domestic market, low wage rates, a high level of inward foreign direct investment, a high level of Korean imports, and low interest rates.
