relative to the size of the economy and the variables used to model FDI. In addition, the last year
of available data (2003) was excluded from some models because it appears to reflect only
partial FDI inflows.

Labor supply and debt proved to be largely insignificant in all of the models and was
excluded from further analyses. The models below had the most statistically significant t-values
and provided some interesting results.
