Abstract
What drives the observed tendency of new FDI, other things equal, to be attracted

to locations where many other foreign investors are located? One explanation in the

literature on FDI location is that expected bene ts from agglomeration externalities

make rms want to locate in agglomerated regions. Alternatively, potential investors

get information about conditions in a host from rms in their own business network

that already have experience from that country. We study how Norwegian FDI location

choice depends on previous Norwegian presence, using information about institutional

quality to separate the impact of information sharing from agglomeration externalities.

The impact of previous Norwegian investors is larger in countries with low institutional

quality. We interpret this as consistent with the presence of information sharing among

Norwegian investors.
