Applying a panel spatial Durbin model for two sample periods, pre-crisis (1996-2007) and crisis (2008-14), our findings indicate that Spanish foreign direct investment (FDI) strategy has been indeed markedly altered by the global economic crisis. Complex-vertical FDI motives prevailed over the pre-crisis period, whereas horizontal FDI did so over the crisis. These results are robust to the use of sectoral FDI data and alternative specifications of the spatial weight matrix.}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, publisher = {World economy,Volume 42, Issue 4, April 2019, Pages 1032-1056}, title = {Has the crisis affected Spanish investment strategy abroad?
