Understanding the determinants of Greenfield FDI inflows has been a subject of intense empirical enquiry in the extant literature. Despite the proliferation of studies, one of the missing ingredients from the existing literature has been its inability to examine closely the evolution of multinational firms’ motives attached to undertaking Greenfield FDI inflows, especially in Asia. Exploiting a unique proprietary database on Greenfield FDI projects, we systematically examine the evolution of firms’ motives attached to Greenfield investments in the region over the last two decades and offer several practical recommendations for policymakers looking to attract Greenfield FDI into specific sectors.
