Dochód z bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych krajów Unii Europejskiej w okresie kryzysu
The income gained from the foreign direct investment in the European Union countries during the last recession

Summary/Abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become an increasingly substantial phenomenon as regards internationalization in both scales, i.e. enterprises and entire economies. Given ceteris paribus, the income as the primary stimulus of economic activity, the scientific objective of the article is to verify whether – over the period of the last downturn – the change in profitability has occurred as well as the change in the income structure received from both FDI outflow and inflow in specially selected the EU countries, which would indicate a permanent transformation of the income from FDI. Empirical studies covered selected – in the terms of FDI percentage share in GDP – five economies over 2007 – 2011, and descriptive statistical methods have been applied to achieve the goal.
