  • Purpose - This study examines the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) location choice for Chinese firms, focusing on the agglomeration effect for firms of the same nationality. Design/methodology - The empirical data are China's inward FDI from the top 19 economies (excluding tax havens and Taiwan) in terms of FDI during 1997-2015 and China's outward FDI from the top 18 economies (excluding tax havens). This study uses a random effects generalized least squares model for panel data analysis. Findings - The results confirm that both host countries' costs and market conditions and the degree of agglomeration affect these countries' attractiveness for FDI inflows. Specifically, agglomeration has a significant effect on China's inward and outward FDI. This study confirms that the agglomeration of firms of the same nationality has predictive power for multinational enterprises' FDI location choices. The host countries' real GDP and trade openness also positively affect FDI inflows. Interestingly, however, China's production cost has a positive effect. Thus, inward FDI aimed at entering the Chinese market is increasing in recent years relative to the previous efficiency-seeking FDI. Inward FDI in China is therefore the market-entry type, whereas outward FDI by Chinese firms is the market-oriented type. Originality/value - These results suggest that the effects of the potential determinants of Chinese outward FDI are similar to those of inward FDI as China's trade liberalization progresses.

  • Singapore's inward and outward investments with industrialized countries in both manufacturing and service sectors were skill seeking while outward investments to developing countries were labor seeking. Applying the Knowledge-Capital model, it was found that services Foreign Direct Investment is sensitive to skill differences. A ten-percent decline in skill differences with industrialized countries resulted in a 4.25 percent rise in inbound manufacturing and 1.48 percent rise in inbound services investments. Meanwhile, a ten-percent increase in skill differences with developing countries resulted in a 30 percent rise in outbound manufacturing and 0.38 percent rise in services investments. Furthermore, when services are distinguished by skill-intensity, the impact of relative skill endowments on inbound Foreign Direct Investment in skill-intensive services is significantly different from the impact on other services. However, when services are disaggregated by "proximity" needs, we do not find any significant difference in the impact of relative skill endowments on Foreign Direct Investment.

  • This study first designates the factors affecting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in order to analyze the FDI in Korea, and calculates the Korean FDI index by using various designated variables and by applying Factor Analysis Technique. In addition, it attempts to understand the influence wielded by the foreign investment variables of foreign multinationals on FDI in Korea, by setting to analyze & verify Environmental Factors and the overall model based on FDI in Korea. Through an emprical analysis of USA, Japan, EU, China, as our hypothesis, we could verify that the positive effects(+) among the decisive factors of FDI in Korea include the market size, the mean earning rate of domestic manufacturing industries, and the marketing capacities of foreign corporations, while the negative effects(-) include the ratio of taxation on domestic manufacturing industries. Other FDI factors have various effects on each, so some factors show the same effects as the hypothesis while others show separate effects. In addition, the only nation for which the effects of FDI factors in Korea coincide with the hypothesis completely is the USA, while other nations (such as Japan, EU, China) have some effects that conform to the hypothesis, but other effects do not accord with it.

  • 본 연구는 GVC(글로벌가치사슬) 관점에서 한국의 해외직접투자(FDI)의 현황을 실증적 연구방법을 통해 분석하고 정책방향을 제시하였다. 전 세계 50개국의 자료를 활용한 회귀분석과 독일, 스위스, 싱가포르 등 주요국과의 국제비교 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 2000년대 이후 동시에 늘어나는 전 세계 FDI와 수출입을 동시에 설명하는 GVC 관점에서 볼 때, 한국의 국제화 수준은 지나치게 무역위주로만 형성되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 한국의 1인당 GDP를 높이기 위해서는 분석에 포함된 주요국에 비해 20~30여년 뒤쳐져 있는 해외직접투자(OFDI) 수준을 높이는 것이 필요해 보인다. 즉, 무역의 이익과 투자의 이익을 동시에 추구하여 1인당 GDP 수준을 높여나가는 것이 중요한 것으로 분석되었다.

  • This paper aims to empirically identify the effects of FTAs on outward and inward FDIs in Korea. Considering the income differences between Korea and its FTA partners, we hypothesize that FTAs have a positive effect on outward FDI to developing countries and inward FDI from developed countries. An underlying source of the hypothesis is the Knowledge-Capital model, addressing the positive (negative) relationship between trade costs and horizontal (vertical) FDI. We test for the hypothesis using data on Korea's FTAs and FDI over the period 2000-2010. We find that our empirical results support the hypothesis, and additionally, FTAs in general encourage FDI by creating an FDI-friendly environment.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 코로나19의 확산에 따른 한국의 무역 및 산업의 변화를 글로벌가치사슬 관점에서 분석하고 시사점을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위해 코로나19와 직접적으로 관련 있는 방역용품과 GVC 참여도가 높은 IT산업을 분석하였다. 방역용품은 코로나19의 확산에 따라 수출입 변동 폭이 컸다. 마스크의 경우 최종재는 수출입이 급격히 변화했지만 중간재의 변화는 상대적으로 크지 않았다. 한국의 IT산업은 GVC에서 전방참여도가 높아지고 후방참여도가 낮아지는 전반적인 변화 속에서 주요 무역대상국별로 차별화된 특성을 보였다. 아직까지 코로나19로 인한 변화가 직접적으로 나타나지는 않았지만, 중국, 베트남과의 생산 연계와 무역 의존도가 높은 상황에서 다변화 전략의 필요성이 높아졌다. 코로나19는 여전히 진행 중으로 포스트 코로나 시대의 GVC 변화에 대응하기 위한 기업의 전략과 정책적 노력이 필요하다.

  • 본 연구에서는 한국 제조업의 노동소득분배율 변동요인을 1991-2009년 18개 산업 패널자료를 이용해 신고전파 경제학적 접근과 칼레키-포스트케인지안-정치경제학적 접근을 통합한 분석모형을 구축하고 실증 분석하였다. 분석결과, 수출과 수입 등 무역의 존도의 증가는 노동소득분배율을 높이고, 노동조합 조직률의 하락, 자본증진적 기술진보, 생산의 세계화가 노동소득분배율을 하락시킨 것으로 나타났다. 1997년 IMF 경제위기 이후 제도변화의 영향으로는 노동시장의 유연화와 노동조합의 고용규제력 약화로 노조조직률은 노동소득분배율에 영향을 미치지 못한 반면 외주비율 확대가 노동소득분배율을 하락시켰으며, 수출의 노동소득분배율 개선효과가 감소하여 낙수효과가 약화된 것으로 나타났다. 그밖에 주주 권한을 강화하는 기업지배구조 개편이 노동소득분배율을 하락시킨다는 포스트케인지안의 금융화 명제를 뒷받침하는 증거는 발견되지 않았다.
