Abstract

All countries of the world have been spurring foreign direct investment consistently for securing of economic growth and growth engines, and Korea is no exception. Korea has been stimulating investment of high quality through various political support and the government has been publicizing it as an achievement. Based on the most of previous studies analyzed the results of foreign direct investment only on the view of domestic economy, this study supposes that foreign direct investment influences positively on management and innovation performance on companies, and evaluated effects of foreign direct investment by using Propensity score matching method. Analysis shows that foreign direct investment has positive influence on management and innovation performance before matching them. However, after matching them, the most statistical significance disappears. Consequently, foreign direct investment has limited effect on company's performance comparison on initial assumption. 'This study indicates that incentive policy of foreign direct investment would need to be amended, because effect of incentive policy was limited for firm's performance.

세계 각국은 과거부터 경제성장과 성장동력의 확보를 위해 꾸준히 외국인직접투자를 유치해왔으며 이는 우리나라도 예외가 아니다. 실제로, 각종 정책적 지원을 통해 양질의 투자를 유치하고 있고, 정부차원에서도 하나의 성과로 홍보하고 있다. 기존의 연구가 대부분 국가경제적 차원에서 외국인직접투자의 성과를 분석하고 있는 것에 그치고 있는 것에 착안, 본 연구는 이러한 외국인직접투자가 기업의 경영성과와 혁신성과에 긍정적인 효과를 미칠 것으로 가정하고 PSM 방법을 통해 실증분석을 하였다. 분석결과 매칭 전에는 외국인직접투자가 경영성과와 혁신성에 모두 양(+)의 효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 매칭 후에는 모두 통계적 유의성을 상실하여 외국인직접투자가 기업에 미치는 긍정적인 효과가 생각보다 부진하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 분석결과는 정부의 외국인직접투자 인센티브 효과가 기대했던 것에 비해 적으며, 추후 정책에 대한 개선이 필요한 것으로 판단할 수 있다.
