The rapid growth of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a significant economic phenomenon of this century as various studies conclude that FDI improve the financial status of the host country. However, notable differences in the distribution of these funds, on a global scale, raise questions with regards to the criteria and the environment that would attract such FDIs. This dissertation aims to enhance our understanding by examining the degree to which elements of Southern Europeans economies, affect the inflow of FDIs. More specifically, this dissertation we will focus on the juxtapositions in culture, corruption and trust in public institutions between the home countries and the host countries. The data are analyzed by means of econometric regressions.
