The study is based on determinants, identified from literature review on the basis of their relevance and significance, of FDI inflow. The study uses fixed effects panel regression in order to measures the significance of determinants of FDI inflows in the top five host economies of developing Asia. The findings of panel regression model reveal that most of the economic variables seem to be statistically significant and determinants FDI inflow as compared to institutional and political variables of FDI. After imputing variables into economic, political and institutional, multiple regression estimates indicate that the coefficients of economic and institutional factors are significant as determinants of FDI inflow in developing Asia.
