中文摘要：

我国东、中、西部地区的外商直接投资（FDI）呈现出极不平衡的状态，地区之间的地理禀赋以及文化差异是重要的原因。1998-2010年的区域经济数据显示，文化包容程度、地理位置以及集聚效应对FDI的区位选择有显著的正向影响，其中又以集聚效应的影响最大；交通运输因素并不直接影响FDI区位选择，集聚效应的文化包容效应为负。

FDI in east, middle and west areas of China are strongly unbalanced. Geographical endow-ments and culture difference are important factors. Panel data of east, middle and west areas of China from 1998 to 2010 indicate cultural, geographical factors as well as the agglomeration effect playing a prominent role in the FDI location choice. The agglomeration effects among those factors has the strongest effect on the FDI location choice, transportation factor has little direct effect on the FDI location choice, and the ag-glomeration effects that effect FDI location choice via culture factors is negative.
