Abstract

This paper is an attempt to settle the controversy around the motives connected with investing in the Visegrad countries and the verification of the hypothesis that FDI makes a significant impact on V4’s foreign trade.The relationship between the value of foreign direct investment in V4 countries in 2001-2011 and the geographic structure of trade in two directions: exports and imports, will be examined. The paper includes an analysis of the influence of FDI on foreign trade (the linear gravity model was used).

Keywords
