摘　　要：外商群集投资(FCI)为存在产业关联的外资集聚。在前人文献基础上,从区位条件、成本驱动、企业集聚和产业关联四个维度提出了一个考察FCI区位选择因素的包含13个测量项目的测量体系,利用来自江苏昆山、吴江、浙江平湖等FCI特征明显地区的106家外资企业的实地调查数据,采用验证性因子方法确证了这一测量体系的内在结构。这为后续研究从FCI区位决定因素的体系和维度上提供了经验证据和逻辑指引。FDI （foreign direct investment） location selection is an important subject in international economics and transnational business field. Following the seminal work of Dunning （1973）, many researchers have been persisting in contributing to it. Such type of study is advanced along with related theoretical progress and changing circumstances of international economy, and has been far from ended yet. Today, FDI has evolved differently from its original form. One of its development trends is growing into foreign clustering investment （FCI） introduced in this article, which is agglomeration of foreign direct investment through industrial linkag- es. In comparison with traditional FDI, FCI has two distinctive characteristics, i.e., firm agglomeration and in- dustrial linkages. This means that they may be different in location selection. With respect to FCI location de- terminants, extant literature has some shortcomings. For instance, little literature has listed location-specific at- tributes completely and identified their dimensions explicitly; most of literature has depended on second and aggregate data collecting at regional or industrial level. The aim of this study is to investigate latent dimen- sions of location-specific attributes and factors influencing location decision of foreign clustering investment, so it can be expected to make up for the defects of previous research to a certain extent. Under a review of ex- tant literature, this study proposes that there are four dimensions constituting FCI determinants system, i.e., lo- cation conditions, inputs cost, firm agglomeration, and industrial linkages. Then this study put forward a 13-item measurement scale to capture the four dimensions. Through a survey of 106 foreign firms coming from three counties of Kunshan, Wujiang and Pinghu in Yangtze River delta, the confirmatory factor analysis confirms FCI determinant dimensions proposed above. The empirical results indicate that, in addition to tradi- tionally location-specific and cost-driven facto
