  • 본 논문은 외국인투자자가 국내 기업의 배당과 투자 의사결정에 미치는 영향에 관하여 2001년에서 2008년까지 거래소에 상장된 12월 결산 비금융업체를 대상으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 전체 외국인투자자의 경우 배당성향을 증가시켰으나 이러한 경향은 최근으로 올수록 약화되었다. 또한 투자목적을 구분한 경우 기업의 배당성향 증가에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 둘째 외국인 투자자들의 지분이 증가할 경우 고정자산증가율과 유형자산증가율로 본 설비투자는 감소하였으며 5%이상 외국인 투자자와 경영참가목적 외국인 투자자의 경우 연구개발비율에서 유의한 양(+)의 계수값을 보였다. 또한 5%이상 외국인 투자자의 영향력은 경영참가목적 외국인 투자자에 의해 주도됨을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 외국인 투자자 지분율과 기업의 배당 의사결정 간의 내생성 문제를 고려하기 위해 HT-IV/GLS 방법을 선택한 결과와 회귀분석, 고정효과 모형 간에 계수 값의 크기와 유의성에 차이가 있어 내생성을 고려할 필요가 있음을 알려주었다.

  • The paper aims to investigate whether foreign direct investment (FDI) has positive effect on the labour productivity in Vietnam. Labour productivity is the elemental determinant of a country's development level in long-term. In recent years, although increasing consistently, labour productivity of Vietnam remains low in comparison to other South East Asian countries. To identify the direction of effect and the level of effect of FDI and human capital on the labour productivity of Vietnam, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used to examine the effect of FDI and human capital on labour productivity in Vietnam from 1986 to 2014. The results of bounds test confirm the existence of cointegration among the variables. Further, the Toda and Yamamoto Granger causality test affirms that there is unidirectional causality running from foreign direct investment and human capital index to labour productivity. The empirical results provide strong statistical evidence that foreign direct investment and human capital has a positive impact on labour productivity in Vietnam in long-term. These findings imply that workers are expected to further improve their knowledge, skills and that policy-maker should establish concrete plans to increase human capital. Results from this study provide suggestion necessary for Vietnam to achieve sustainable development.

  • Purpose - During a reform period lasting 30 years, the Blue Economic Zone (BEZ) in the Shandong Peninsula has made progress in attracting foreign investment, and has acquired the foreign direct investment (FDI) essential for economic growth. It is therefore important to conduct a proactive and systematic study of FDI in the BEZ. Research design, data, methodology - This dissertation discusses the contribution of FDI on economic growth, from both a theoretical and empirical perspective. Taking seven core cities for study, statistics and econometrics are used, and panel data are used to validate FDI contribution to import and export in the BEZ. Results- FDI was found to exert both positive and negative influences on the imports and exports of the BEZ. In other words, the research findings are consistent with Trade Generated and Inverse Trade Generated theories put forward by Kojima and Mundell, among other researchers mentioned earlier in this paper. Further, FDI has greatly increased imports and exports for the BEZ. Conclusions - According to the results of this empirical study on local investment environment optimization, FDI plays an important role in foreign trade. This dissertation puts forward recommendations on using FDI to better promote economic growth in the BEZ.

  • Information and communication technology (ICT) is one of the primary zones that stimulates economic development in today's globalized world. It promotes technological developments in worldwide communication and manufacturing systems, as well as economic growth and development. Many economic activities, such as international trade and foreign direct investment, rely heavily on contemporary information and communications technologies (FDI). The goal of this study is to look at the dynamic relationship between FDI, ICT, trade openness, and economic growth in the context of BRICS countries from 2000 to 2018, with Gross Domestic Product as the dependent variable and Telephone subscriptions, Mobile subscriptions, Broadband subscriptions, Internet subscribers, Secure internet servers, Trade, and Foreign direct investment as the independent variables.Two variables are used as proxies to manage the macroeconomic environment, while five variables are used as proxies for ICT infrastructures. The outcomes of this study are analyzed using Generalized Methods of Movements (GMM). According to this study, ICT has a positive impact on the economic growth of a few countries. Trade openness and foreign direct investment, on the other hand, have a negative impact on economic growth. As growing countries, the BRICS must participate in economic reform and liberalization measures. This report suggests policy proposals for improving ICT standards, focusing especially on economic growth, trade openness, and increasing foreign investment in the BRICS countries.

  • This study investigates the long-run relationship between the de jure economic, political, and social globalization and foreign direct investments in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to establish whether policies that foster trade and investment relations among geographical entities can help revive the GCC countries from the prevailing economic debacles of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is driven by the GCC's quest to fully overcome the economic challenges occasioned by the outbreak of the global pandemic and position itself as the most potent regional economic bloc in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The study employs the panel data of the six GCC countries of Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia from 1971 to 2017. The findings of the panel fully modified ordinary least square regression estimation show that the de jure economic and social globalization have a significant positive impact on the region's foreign direct investment inflows. The impact of the de jure political globalization on foreign direct investment is statistically significant but negatively signed. Based on the preceding findings, we offer some holistic policy recommendations to the GCC region as recipes for timely recovery from the economic impact of COVID-19 and beyond.

  • This study presents the pattern and determinants of intra-industry trade in Korea's machinery and transport equipment industry focusing the influence of foreign direct investment on intra-industry trade. Using an OLS regression model the determinants of intra-industry trade are investigated. Results indicate that a statistically significant negative relationship is found between intra-industry trade and foreign direct investment, and show that intra-industry trade is positively affected by the degree of product differentiation and export structure similarity. Intra-industry trade is also positively associated with the economies of scale, the level of trade barrier, and transportation costs, although this is not statistically significant. The study found strong evidence that the propensity of foreign direct investment toward export specialized industry makes the negative relationship between intra-industry trade and foreign direct investment.

  • This study investigates the impact of Malaysia's capital market and other key determinants on Economic Growth from the period of 1988 to 2012. The key determinants studied are foreign direct investment and real interest rate. This study also examines the long run and short run relationship between the economic growth and capital market, foreign direct investment, and real interest rate by using bound testing cointegration of Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Error Correction Model (ECM) version of ARDL model. The empirical results of the study suggest that there is long- run cointegration among the capital market, foreign direct investment, real Interest rate and economic growth. The result also suggests that capital market and real interest rate have positive impact on economic growth in the short run and long run. Foreign direct investment does not show positive impact on economic growth in the short run but it does in the long run.

  • 최근 EU의 중 동부유럽으로의 확대로 EU의 경제활동 공간구조에 많은 변화가 예상된다. 본 연구는 EU의 중 동부유럽 확대로 인해 나타나고 있는 경제활동 공간변화를 외국인직접투자의 투자입지 분석을 통해 살펴보았다. 중 동부유럽 국가의 외국인직접투자는 1990년대 중반 이후 이 지역 국가들의 EU 가입이 구체화되면서 잠재력을 지닌 시장을 선점하고, 저렴한 노동력을 이용하여 생산의 효율성을 높이려는 EU 기업들에 의해 크게 확대되었다. 외국인직접 투자는 넓은 시장과 저렴한 노동력, 안정적인 정치구조, 적극적인 외국자본 유치노력을 보인 폴란드, 헝가리, 체코, 슬로바키아에 집중되고 있다. 그리고 투자지역으로는 발달된 하부구조와 지역산업조직, 숙력된 노동력, 시장 등 유리한 생산요인을 지닌 대도시와 값싼 양질의 노동력과 유사한 문화적 환경 그리고 저렴한 수송비의 이점을 지닌 동 서부 유럽의 인접지역이 선호되고 있다. 다시 말해, 중 동부유럽국가의 EU 통합에 따라 외국인직접투자 유입이 많은 헝가리, 체코, 폴란드의 수도와 그 주변지역 그리고 동 서부유럽의 인접지역이 EU의 새로운 경제활동공간으로 부상하고 있다. 이와 아울러, 발틱 공간은 인접국가간 교역 및 직접투자의 확대로 발달 가능성이 높은 지역이다.

  • 본 연구는 1998년부터 2015년까지 해외로부터 한국으로의 외국인직접투자를 그린필드형 투자와 M&A형 투자로 구분하여 혁신에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 외국인직접투자는 특허출원건수에 유의한 양(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 그린필드형 투자는 특허출원건수에 유의한 양(+)의 영향을 끼쳤으나, M&A형 투자는 특허출원건수에 유의한 영향이 없었다. 본 연구는 처음으로 외국인직접투자를 두 유형으로 구분하여 혁신에 미치는 영향을 분석했다는 점, 설문 조사 자료가 아닌 특허출원건수를 혁신의 대용변수로 사용하여 혁신에 미치는 영향을 분석했다는 점, 그리고 M&A형 투자보다 그린필드형 투자가 특허출원건수에 유의한 양(+)의 영향이 있다는 것을 보인 점에서 의의가 있다. 본 연구 결과는 한국 산업의 혁신과 외국인직접투자 유치를 위한 정책적 시사점을 제공한다.
