China’s direct investment overseas reaches US$170.11 billion and is US$44 billion more than the actual use of foreign investment, which makes China a net capital exporter. Large scale of Outward Foreign Direct Investment also has a great influence on the export. This article made an estimation on the export effect of Outward Foreign Direct Investment through fixed effect model and Generalized Method of Moment based on the provincial panel data from 2004 to 2014. The result shows Outward Foreign Direct Investment has a positive effect on export whether in the whole country or in different districts, every 1% increase of Outward Foreign Direct Investment will lead to about 0.1% rising in export, and moreover positive effect of Outward Foreign Direct Investment in the middle and western districts is stronger than that in the eastern district.

This paper made an export structure effect analysis of outward foreign direct investment of Sichuan Province of China using the method of OLS and GMM with the provincial panel data of ordinary export from 2004 to 2016. The empirical results indicate that Outward Foreign Direct Investment can affect ordinary export positively both in China and in Sichuan Province. With each 1% increase of outward foreign direct investment, China’s ordinary exports increased by 0.344%, while Sichuan’s ordinary exports increased by 0.483%. Furthermore, this paper indicates that outward foreign direct investment leads to the upgrading of export structure in China. But, this paper can’t find sufficient evidence that Sichuan’s Outward Foreign Direct Investment can promote export structure.

The outward foreign direct investments of developing economies have showed significant increase in recent years. Rising outward foreign direct investment stock of developing economies makes its determinants and consequences crucial. The aim of this study is to determine the home country specific determinants of outward FDI. For this purpose, a panel data analysis is performed with the data of BRICS and Next Eleven countries for the period from 1994 to 2014. The analysis results reveal that inward foreign direct investment, interest rates and technological capability of home country have positive influence and total labor force of home country has negative effect on outward FDI of developing economies.

While conceptual and theoretical studies have claimed that outward foreign direct investment (FDI) is an effective way to improve the quality of domestic production, there has been less systematic investigation into that claim. The statistical analysis of a survey of Taiwan's outward FDI activity shows that FDI had a positive effect on the quality of only 33.4% of investing firms. We further employ the microeconometric technique to analyze what kinds of globalization behaviors improve the quality of domestic firms’ products. The empirical results show that the strategy of expansionary FDI is more effective than defensive FDI at improving product quality because it allows domestic firms to learn advanced technologies from guest countries. Moreover, the reallocation of export between foreign affiliates and the parent company is an effective way for investing firms to focus on improving domestic product quality. Santrauka Remiantis koncepciniu ir teoriniu tyrimu rezultatais, ieinančios tiesiogines užsienio investicijos yra veiksmingas būdas vidaus produkcijos kokybei gerinti, tačiau tokiam teiginiui pagristi nebuvo atlikti sistemingi tyrimai. Taivanio ieinančiu tiesioginiu užsienio investiciju veiklos tyrimo statistines analizes duomenimis, tiesioginiu užsienio investiciju iš visu imones investiciju itaka kokybei sudaro tik 33,4 %. Toliau buvo taikoma mikroekonometrine metodika, siekiant ištirti, kokios rūšies globalizacijos elgsena pagerina vietines imoniu produkcijos kokybe. Empirinio tyrimo rezultatai parode, kad, gerinant produkcijos kokybe, pletros tiesiogines užsienio investicijos yra efektyvesnes nei apsaugines tiesiogines užsienio investicijos. Taip yra todel, kad jos leidžia šalies vidaus imonems sužinoti apie pažangias kitu šaliu technologijas. Be to, eksporto perskirstymas tarp užsienio filialu ir pagrindines imones yra veiksmingas būdas investuojančiai imonei daugiausia demesio skirti vidaus produkcijos kokybei.
