	The aim of the paper is to study empirically the determinants of the activity of multinational OECD enterprises in Poland in the period 1990–2015 using the negative binomial model without and with accounting for individual fixed and random effects for particular home countries. The research is conducted with reference to the so-called new theory of the multinational enterprise (NTME) that allows to derive a number of empirically testable hypotheses and distinguish between horizontal and vertical motives for undertaking foreign direct investment (FDI). The assembled empirical evidence shows that Poland attracts both horizontal and vertical investment motivated by host country market access and cost reduction motives, respectively. In addition, empirical evidence shows that multinational enterprises from the EU are more involved in production activity in Poland compared to investors from other OECD countries.
