围绕着内向外国直接投资如何影响东道国的问题，有大量的文献在增长。关于这个问题的几乎每一个方面，学术文献中都有各种各样的实证结果，几乎没有趋同的迹象。与此同时，政策制定者似乎已经作出了自己的判断，即外国直接投资流入对他们的国家是有价值的。联合国贸易和发展会议（贸发会议）公布了关于“外国直接投资国家法规变化”的年度数据，并报告说，从1991年到2002年，有1，500多项法规变化使法规更有利于外国直接投资，只有不到100项法规变化使法规更不利于外国直接投资（贸发会议，2003年，21，表1.8）。同一份文件还报告说，“利用地点激励措施吸引外国直接投资的频率和价值都大大增加”（贸发会议，2003，124）。考虑到关于这个问题的学术文献数量，为什么它对政策制定的影响如此之小？所有这些国家都在愚蠢地追求一种短暂的时尚吗？学术文献中提出的问题是否与政策无关？相关问题是否可以回答？就此而言，有哪些相关问题？
A substantial body of literature has grown around the question of how inward foreign direct investment (FDI) affects host countries. On almost every aspect of this question there is a wide range of empirical results in academic literature with little sign of convergence. At the same time, policymakers seem to have made their own judgments that inward FDI is valuable to their countries. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) publishes annual data on “changes in national regulations of FDI” and reports that from 1991 through 2002, over 1,500 changes making regulations more favorable and fewer than 100 making regulations less favorable to FDI were made (UNCTAD 2003, 21, table 1.8). The same document reports that “the use of locational incentives to attract FDI has considerably expanded in frequency and value” (UNCTAD 2003, 124). Given the amount of academic literature on the issue, why has it made so little impression on policymaking? Are all these countries foolishly pursuing an ephemeral fad? Are the questions asked in academic literature irrelevant to policy? Are the relevant questions answerable? For that matter, what are the relevant questions?
