This section answers how can regions be grouped according to their relatedness. The cluster analysis detects 5 clusters for incoming FDI flows and 5 clusters for outgoing FDI flows among the ESPON regions.
Regarding the incoming intra-ESPON FDI flows, cluster A (incoming FDI ESPON-wide hubs) contains the topmost connected, absolute, and influencing FDI receivers, cluster B (incoming FDI national-wide hubs) contains the topmost national and net absolute FDI receivers, cluster C (third-level incoming FDI national-wide hubs) contains the bottommost net and relative FDI receivers, cluster D (second-level incoming FDI influencers) contains the bottommost national FDI receivers, and cluster E (incoming FDI ESPON-wide relative hubs) contains the topmost relatively absolute FDI receivers, and the bottommost connected, absolute, and influencing FDI receivers.
