This paper presents the topic of nation branding, which is considered as a complementary factor of the traditional economic policy implemented in a given country. The concept of branding aims at creating a strong national brand for improving the brands of national products, as well as the image of the country which influences the attraction of foreign direct investments and increase the export. The example of Estonia attempts to prove that the actions for national brand changed positively the image in this country, as well as the competitiveness of the economy. For this purpose the author used the ranking of national brand and international competitiveness. The author also set as a goal to recognize if the concept of nation branding can be useful for the other countries of Central and Eastern Europe, especially Poland. The conclusion of this paper is that nation branding is an economic challenge for these countries and should be implemented as soon as possible in their strategies of country’s development.

This article examines the government incentives towards foreign direct investments (further – FDI) of Central and Eastern Europe countries by evaluating the external influencing factors of foreign investment. It is argued that the major incentive affecting FDI inflows involves more fiscal than financial incentives. Tax deduction is considered to be the most significant influencing factor on attracting FDI. Hence, the empirical analysis is based on exogenous variables. The empirical model was used to determine causal relationship between macroeconomic variables and FDI intensity in Central and Eastern European countries. The article introduces some policy recommendation for the increase of FDI intensity in Central and Eastern Europe.

Vertinami išoriniai užsienio investicijas lemiantys veiksniai, teigiama, kad TUI įplaukas skatina daugiau mokesčių nei finansinės paskatos. Tačiau laikomasi nuomonės, kad mokesčių lengvatos – vie-na pagrindinių priežasčių, lemiančių TUI įplaukas. Empirinis modelis pagrįstas mažiausiųjų kvadratų metodu, kuriuo nustatomas priežastinis sąryšis tarp makroekonominių rodiklių ir TUI intensyvumo. Straipsnyje pateikiamos kai kurios politinės įžvalgos, kurių taikymas padidintų tiesioginių užsienio investicijų intensyvumą Centrinėje ir Rytų Europoje.
