The paper uses a semiparametric Generalized Partial Linear Models (GPLM) regression approach to check the appropriateness and effectiveness of financial crisis in the FDI regression model. The results indicate that FDI inflows decrease in the years after a financial crisis and an upturn in FDI inflows the year before a financial crisis hit the country.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSemiparametric regression approachGeneralized Partial Linear Models (GPLM)Financial crisisForeign direct investmentDeveloping countriesArticle2033111WOS:00027713730000210.3846/jbem.2010.022-s2.0-77951635063Q2N/A
