Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Author/s/ have chosen a correct approach, taking into account that "EART is not the only factor that determines investors", so an analysis in ceteris paribus setting is necessary. However, this task is a great challenge for empirical work, having in mind the distorted institutions (e.g. in transition CEECs) whose impact cannot be approximated even by a categorical variable. However, their impact on the allocation decisions of the foreign investors /FIs/ can be decisive! With equal EARTs, substantial differences in "hardly measurable"circumstances can induce substantial imbalance in the locational choice. Also, expanding FDI in a particular country can be observed if FIs follow a strategy for entering a special target country (e.g. Czech Rep. or Hungary) even if lower taxation can be found nearby. Anyway, the author/s/ have taken the challenge to empirically analyse FDI determinants in emerging EU economies, even in data shortages (i.e. N=13 / T=24 should not be considered as enough in order to rely on asymptotically valid estimation and hypotheses testing methods).

Reviewer 2 Report

The presented text is suitable for publishing. The authors used appropriate sophisticated methods to analyze the economically important question - does EATR influence FDI?

There are some minor comments.
