다국적기업(多國籍企業)은 100% 직접투자(直接投資), 합작투자(合作投資) 및 기술(技術)"라이센싱" 등 여러 가지 경로를 통하여 해외시장(海外市場)에 진출하고 있다. 본고(本稿)에서는 시장진출형태(市場進出形態)의 선택은 다국적기업과 유치국의 파트너간 협상과정에서 양측이 갖고 있는 위험회피성향(危險回避性向) 및 정보(情報)의 구조(構造)에 따라 결정된다는 것을 보인다. 그리고 이같이 진출형태가 결정되는 상황에서는 투자유치국(投資誘致國)에 의한 직접투자의 제한은 생산량에 비례한 로열티를 지급하는 기술(技術)"라이센싱"을 유도하게 되며 이는 투자유치국(投資誘致國)의 정태적(靜態的) 효율성(效率性)을 저하시키는 결과를 초래한다.

As the globalization of world market proceeds, the importance of foreign direct investment grows bigger than before A comparative analysis on foreign direct investments among developed and developing countries makes clear that every county has different incentives for foreign direct investments. This implies a country should improve environments on her appropriate field, to induce foreign direct investments, The openness of other capital markets such as bank loans and portfolio investments turns out to have no direct effects on the foreign direct investments.

The role of foreign direct investment (FDI) as a channel of knowledge transfer and on the technological spillovers of know-how to other sectors in the economy is in the middle of this debate. Thus, foreign direct investment may have significant positive effects in reducing residual loadings and environmental pollution. There is an abiding concern expressed by many commentators that countries will lower their environmental standards to attract foreign investment, thereby creating so-called "pollution havens." Others argue that increasing foreign investment could promote "pollution halos" by introducing and transferring more efficient and less polluting technologies. The primary objective of this study is to show the dynamic relationship among pollution loadings, pollution abatement effort, and economic development with explicit consideration of FDI-related effects. This study found when foreign direct investment is evaluated in the model, the environmental pollution level is reduced and expenditure on pollution abatement is increased.

EU is enlarging geographically by the process of expansion and is intensifying the economic bloc by the formation of European Union and European Monetary Union. This situation increases the direct investment in the intra-EU members and changes the intra-EU flows. First, EU is formed by the economic geographical space of the North and the South with a differentiation of economic factors and the degree of economic development. The North played a leading role for an augmentation of the intra-EU direct investment after the formation of EU. Second, the manufacturing industry of the intra-EU direct investment by industry was increased remarkably. In the intra-EU direct investment flow by region and industry, the South made relatively an outflow of the service industry and an inflow of the manufacturing industry. But the North made an outflow of the manufacturing industry and an inflow of the service industry. Third, in the intra-EU direct investment flows by manufacturing industry, the North concentrated in the petro-chemistry, metal-machinery and agro-food industry, however, the South which have relatively weak competitiveness compared to the North tends to show balanced investment patterns in all industries.

Since the globalization of the world economy in the 1990s, capital transfer and investment soared, which caused FDI and the effect of FDI on country competitiveness to increase. This study compared and examined how Korea, China and Japan's FDI developed throughout history and what characteristics they show. For the study, we considered country, firm and industry level factors by using institutional based perspective, resource based perspective and industry based perspective, and the derived the following results. Firstly, institutional factors are the main factors that led FDI in the three countries. Secondly, while Korea and Japan have a similar path in changing investment motives, China shows the opposite path. Thirdly, the growth rate of FDI scale changes due to the three countries' factor conditions and demand conditions.

중소ㆍ벤처기업들은 지난해를 보내며 많은 어려움을 겪었다. 담보나 신용 부족으로 은행 등의 간접금융 활용이 어려웠고 이에 더해 벤처캐피탈 등을 통한 직접금융 시장마저 여의치 않았기에 어느해 보다 어려운 한해였을 것이다. 그러나“비가 온 뒤에 땅이 굳어진다”고 했듯이 지난 한해를 슬기롭게 잘 지내온 벤처기업들에게 2004년 직접금융시장을 통한 재원조달이 다소 나아질 것으로 전망된다. 국내 직접금융시장의 주요 투자기관인 벤처캐피탈의 재원조달 현황 파악을 통해 중소 벤처기업의 자금조달시장을 예측해보고자 한다. 우선 벤처캐피탈 재원조달의 주요수단인 투자조합(Fund)결성 현황을 살펴보고, 투자조합의 운영 특성상 조합결성 후부터 3~5년간 투자가 이루어지는 것을 감안하여 2004년의 투자전망을 살펴보도록 한다.

Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) has played a vital role in the economic growth of Pakistan. The objective of this paper is to review the literature on the Pakistan's FDI law and explore possibilities for research. We focus on the Foreign Private Investment (Promotion and Protection) Act 1976, Furtherance and Protection of Economic Reforms Act 1992, and Foreign Currency Accounts (Protection) Ordinance 2001. Major concern seems to be frequent change in policies, lack of follow up for effective implementation of the good decisions above all the law.

The study aims to analyze how the variables for Korea, such as the exports, imports, FDI(Inward) and FDI(Outward), influence the economic growth and how they affect each other. For the purpose of empirical analysis, this paper used the quarterly time series data from 1980 to 2010, dividing the period before and after 1997(IMF). The variables used in this study were log-transformation from the original variables. This study empirically tests the relationship among variables by using VECM with considering the time-series properties of each variable. The results found from the study are as followings. Causality analysis using VECM proved that no causality between GDP and exports existed, whereas causality between GDP and FDI(Inward) existed, in which GDP affected FDI(Inward) since IMF. However, it was found that other periods and FDI(Inward) did not affect GDF and had no causality among them.

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.

Global semiconductor companies is investing enormous capital worldwide. And direct investment in China is increasing greatly these days, Especially, global semiconductor companies are setting up a factory in China due to expanding market rather than utilizing low labor cost. Therefore, this study is trying to analyze the background and process of direct investment from global Korean and Taiwanese semiconductor companies in China. Firstly, In 1996, Samsung semiconductor established a back end process factory in Suzhou. And in 2014, Samsung semiconductor set up a front and back end factory in Xian. Secondly, In 2006, SK Hynix built a front and back end factory in Wuxi. and SK Hynix set up a back end factory named Hitech semiconductor with Chinese company in 2009. Later in 2015, SK Hynix established a back end factory in Chongqing. Thirdly, In 2004, TSMC started to operate a factory in Shanghai, and in 2018, TSMC is going to establish a factory in Nanjing. Lastly, UMC bought a stock to produce product in Chinese local company named HJT, and at the end of 2016, UMC is going to finish building a factory in Xiamen. As a result, it was proved that most companies hoped to expand the chinese market by setting up a factory in china. In addition, Samsung expected to avoid a risk by setting up a factory in china, and SK Hynix wanted to avoid a countervailing duty by setting up a factory in china. Based on the result of this study, this study indicates some implications for other semiconductor companies which are very helpful for their future foreign direct investment.
