Abstract
The paper presented at the seminar – based on a questionnaire survey and interviews of 218 Chinese enterprises investing in Cambodia and Lao PDR – attempts to explore the factors influencing the investment environment of the host country from the micro-perspective of the enterprises. By running a multiple regression model using Ordinary Least Squares, the impact of various factors on the performance level of these enterprises is empirically analysed.

Results indicate that the stability of the law, the market potential, the proportion of technical personnel and management systems have a positive influence on enterprise performance. Governance, investment services, infrastructure, the level of localisation and non-official payment each has a negative influence on enterprise performance. The investment performance of Chinese enterprises in Cambodia is significantly affected by location, with the choice to invest in Cambodia likely to achieve good outcomes.
