The paper analyses the investment incentives policies in transition countries from the perspective of their effectiveness in attracting more and better foreign direct investment (FDI). Existing studies on incentive policies of transition countries are reviewed and their effectiveness from the point of view of policy objectives, type and size of incentives, and delivery practice is studied. Investment incentives policies of Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Romania, Slovak Republic, and Slovenia are analysed in a comparative perspective. The paper claim that effectiveness of investment incentives for inward FDI is limited. In principle, behavioral aspects of FDI incentives should have priority over the increase of FDI inflows as a policy objective.
