Zusammenfassung:The goal of this paper is to study the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the economic growth of ten new member states (NMS) from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), which joined the European Union (EU) in 2004 and 2007 – the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Romania. Croatia is excluded from the analysis since it became a EU member relatively late - in 2013. A vector autoregression (VAR) of annual data for the period 2007-2019 is employed. The empirical results indicate that FDI does not affect the real GDP growth rate of the NMS from CEE. The research results also show that FDI Granger-causes the economic growth of the NMS from CEE neither in the short run nor in the long term. Cilj ovog rada je proučiti učinke izravnih stranih ulaganja (FDI) na gospodarski rast deset novih država članica (NMS) iz srednje i istočne Europe (CEE), koje su pristupile Europskoj uniji (EU) 2004. i 2007. godine. – Češka, Estonija, Mađarska, Latvija, Litva, Poljska, Slovačka, Slovenija, Bugarska i Rumunjska. Hrvatska je isključena iz analize jer je članica EU postala relativno kasno - 2013. godine. Koristi se vektorska autoregresija (VAR) godišnjih podataka za razdoblje 2007.-2019. Empirijski rezultati pokazuju da izravna strana ulaganja ne utječu na stopu rasta realnog BDP-a novih država članica srednje i istočne Europe. Rezultati istraživanja također pokazuju da izravna strana ulaganja po Grangeru ne uzrokuju gospodarski rast novih država članica iz srednje i istočne Europe niti kratkoročno niti dugoročno.
