Exchange Rates and Competition for FDI. |
概要:
(Abstract) |
This paper analyses the role of exchange rates in the competition for FDI.
Based on the assumption that two countries compete for FDI from the same
source country, the paper shows explicitly that the relative FDI of one
country is determined by the relative real exchange rate between its currency
and that of the source country. The theoretical result suggests that, if
the currency of one FDI recipient country appreciates against the source
country more than that of its rival, its FDI inflows will decrease while
the competing country's FDI will increase. Using data on Japan's FDI in
nine Asian manufacturing sectors from 1981 to 2002, the paper also examines
the theoretical conclusion in the context of the competition between China
and ASEAN-4 (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand). Empirical
results show that the relative exchange rate is a statistically significant
factor determining the relative inflows of Japanese FDI for manufacturing
as a whole and for such sub-sectors as textiles, food, electronics, transportation
equipment, and others. Exchange rate polices of the ASEAN-4 countries played
a critical role in dynamically reshaping the geographic distribution of
Japan's FDI in Asia. |
