This paper investigates the role of transportation infrastructure, an often ignored element, in enhancing the attractiveness of foreign direct investment inflows to different sectors,classified as manufacturing and services of Mauritius over the period . Taking into account the possible existence of endogeneity in foreign direct investment modeling, the study employs both static and dynamic panel data estimates. Results from the analysis show that both transportation and non transport capital has been important elements. Disaggregated sector-wise panel analysis suggests that investors in the manufacturing sector are more sensitive to these infrastructure capitals as compared to those investing in the services industry. Such investors are also more sensible to labour cost of the industry but relatively less sensible to human capital level. The size of the local market plays a negligible role for both industries, foreign investors being more concerned about the export market. Finally there is also evidence of the presence dynamism in foreign direct investment modeling.
