Territorial Attractiveness of the foreign direct investment: empirical evidence from panel data analysis for the case of Tunisia

In this sense, we propose in this article an evaluation of different macroeconomic variables that may promote the entry of FDI in the industrial sector in Tunisia. Through an econometric modelling with panel data over a period of 15 years (2000-2014), we found that FDI traditional factors have the greatest impact. Indeed, the difference in factor endowments and market size between Tunisia and the investor countries and the geographical distance and the availability of labor are the most important +determinants of FDI in Tunisia
