Outward foreign direct investment (FDI) from emerging economies has dramatically increased in the tourism industry. Based on the assumption of spillover effects of FDI, this article examines the impact of inward FDI on tourism-based outward FDI. This study applies the negative binomial model to panel data from 2001 to 2015 in China and reveals that FDI inflows and tourism-based FDI inflows are important drivers of China’s tourism-based outward FDI. Furthermore, it is found that the level of regional development has a moderating effect on these flows.

Since China put forward the strategy of “going out”, outward foreign direct investment (FDI) began to grow rapidly, and the manufacturing industry, as the pillar industry of our country, is facing the dilemma of transformation. This paper will focus on this topic of the relationship between the outward FDI and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry structure, and sort out and summarize the domestic and foreign literature. It is concluded that the existing literatures are consistent: the outward FDI can promote the upgrading of industrial structure of home country. In terms of China’s manufacturing industry, the outward FDI can promote the upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry, however, the impact have a kind of hysteresis quality, and may produce the phenomenon of “industry hollowing out”.

AbstractResearch examining emerging economy inward and outward foreign direct investment (FDI) flows is on a significant upward trajectory. In this bibliometric analysis covering 806 articles published between 1994 and 2019, we map key aspects of its contours. Our analysis proceeds in two sequential phases involving a performance analysis, followed by a thematic analysis. Our performance analysis unveils fundamental elements of the structure of the knowledge base. Our subsequent thematic analysis identifies three focal topics arising from identifiable shared qualities characterizing this literature. Firstly, we distinguish scholarship focused on inward FDI into emerging economies formed by two particular classes, namely ‘innovative FDI’ and ‘capital flows’. Our second theme covers outward FDI from these emerging economies and also comprises two specific classes referring to the ‘institutional environment’ and the ‘theoretical framework deployed’. Our final theme relates to an integrated body of knowledge explicating aspects of the location choice decision. Building on this analysis, we isolate a number of opportunities for future research.

Abstract Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows are crucial for economic development. To attract them, countries have typically used reductions in corporate income tax (CIT) rates. This paper empirically assesses the impact of such CIT rate changes on FDI net inflows in Africa. Using a dynamic spatial Durbin model with fixed effects, our results show that cuts in CIT rates increase FDI net inflows in the host country and in the neighbouring countries in the short and long run. These results are robust to the use of alternative spatial weighting matrices as well as the inclusion of additional controls in the baseline specification. Furthermore, we find a strategic complementarity in FDI inflows between the countries in our sample, suggesting that an increase in FDI inflows in a host country is likely to stimulate FDI inflows of its neighbours.

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The purpose of the paper is to examine the impact of inward and outward foreign direct investment on innovation performance of the Visegrad and Baltic countries.</p><p><strong>Methodology/Approach:</strong> The study follows an open-system approach to consider the determinants of national innovation performance, taking into account both inward and outward FDI. We use two-step analysis that combines panel data regression analysis with the design of two FDI – innovation performance matrixes.</p><p><strong>Findings:</strong> The results of the study provide evidence that only outward foreign direct investment of domestic firms contributes significantly to the innovation performance of these countries and that this effect is more visible in the case of the Visegrad countries.</p><p><strong>Research Limitation/Implication:</strong> The limitations of the study are associated in particular with the selection of SII as a measure of national innovation performance. The use of this indicator is also related to the relatively short period of availability of consistent data, especially in connection with changes in the methodology of SII calculation.</p><strong>Originality/Value of paper:</strong> The policy implications of the paper suggest the need for stronger support of domestic bearers of cross-border capital movements in an attempt to boost national innovation performance.

Outward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from emerging economies in recent years has experienced rapid growth, especially from the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) economies. This has gained much attention from international business researchers. The present study assessed the motivations for the outward FDI from emerging economies to advanced economies based on literature review. The paper revealed that market seeking, natural resource seeking, strategic asset seeking, efficiency seeking, and home government support motivate firms from emerging economies to invest in advanced economies. However, efficiency seeking least motivates China’s outward FDI due to its low labour cost. The study also made an evaluation of the existing theories of FDI to determine whether they adequately explain such investments. Based on the evaluation, the OLI Paradigm and the ResourceBased View do not adequately provide a plausible explanation for such investments. However, emerging economies outward FDI to advanced economies seemed to be adequately explained by the Institutional Theory.

Since 1990, globalization of Indian economy led to a speedy growth of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and simultaneously outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) also shows an increasing trend. However, India’s OFDI has attracted a little attention from the researchers and they have considered the OFDI in terms of commitments or approved equities. The motivation of this article is to investigate the India’s macro factors influencing actual OFDI flows from India by empirically recognizing four factors, namely gross domestic product, inward FDI, real effective exchange rate, and real interest rate over the period 1980–2016. The study has used Augmented Dicky-Fuller (ADF) and Phillips–Perron (PP) Unit root tests for checking the stationarity of the variable of the model. Later on, autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) model and error correction mechanism is used for testing the long-run as well as short-run dynamics of the model. The result shows that all the selected variables have positive and significant influence on India’s outward investment flows.

Using panel data for 57 countries over the period of 1995–2012, this paper investigates the impact of intellectual property rights (IPR) processes on productivity growth. The IPR processes are decomposed into three stages — innovation process, commercialization process, and protection process. The paper finds that better IPR protection is directly associated with productivity improvements only in developed economies. In addition, the contribution of IPR processes on growth through foreign direct investment (FDI) appears to be quite limited. Only inward FDI in developed countries which creates better innovative capability leads to higher growth. In connection with outward FDI, only the increase in IPR protection and commercialization are proven to improve productivity in the case of developing countries, particularly when the country acts as the investing country.

This paper aims to research whether there is link between FDI inflows and Economic growth in the Republic of Seychelles Island. The ordinary least square results obtained shows that in the impact of FDI inflows on economic growth is low. Small Island Developing States attracts less FDI inflow because they are limited to few resources that attracts overseas firms which results in retarded development. The research lighted that impact of foreign direct investment on host countries does not only depend on the quality and quantity of the FDI inflows but some other variables such as the internal policies and the management skills, market structures, economic trends among others.
