Purpose: In the period of international integration, how is the implementation of intellectual property regulation in developing countries? Do intellectual property rights help attract more Foreign direct investment (FDI)? This study aims to show the effect of intellectual property rights, reflect in the number of patent registered (Patent distribution into two components: Patent_residents and Patent_non-residents) on FDI attraction in Vietnam. Research design, data and methodology: Using Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model for the data collected from 1990 to 2018 with EViews version 9 software. Conclusions: The results indicate that the number of patent protection has a positive effect on FDI in both short term and long term. In particular, only patent registration of foreign individuals and organizations has a significant positive effect on attracting FDI, while that of Vietnamese patents is not statistically significant. From the results of this study, we provide some recommendations to help attract FDI based on raising awareness of intellectual property rights: Increase international cooperation for innovation to learn and encourage patent; Improve the capac ity of inventing as well as the ability to register patents of Vietnamese people; Government agencies are tasked to support a nd review registration procedures; Encouraging patent registration based on the patent.

In recent years, the outward foreign direct investment (oFDI) in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) by Chinese companies has significantly increased in size and changed in content. However, changes in the oFDI patterns between the pre- and post-BRI periods have not received sufficient attention from academia despite their theoretical and strategic significance. This paper reviewed existing research to establish seven hypotheses on changes in the oFDI patterns of Chinese companies investing in BRI countries and conducted empirical analyses to test the hypotheses using secondary data. The results showed that after the BRI agreement, Chinese oFDI in BRI countries was more active in less economically and less institutionally developed countries, that the oFDI by privately-owned enterprises (POEs) increased more than that of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and that SOEs were more active in the social overhead capital (SOC) area while POEs were more active in the non-SOC area. The paper concludes with a summary, implications, and future research directions.

본 연구는 GVC(글로벌가치사슬) 관점에서 한국의 해외직접투자(FDI)의 현황을 실증적 연구방법을 통해 분석하고 정책방향을 제시하였다. 전 세계 50개국의 자료를 활용한 회귀분석과 독일, 스위스, 싱가포르 등 주요국과의 국제비교 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 2000년대 이후 동시에 늘어나는 전 세계 FDI와 수출입을 동시에 설명하는 GVC 관점에서 볼 때, 한국의 국제화 수준은 지나치게 무역위주로만 형성되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 한국의 1인당 GDP를 높이기 위해서는 분석에 포함된 주요국에 비해 20~30여년 뒤쳐져 있는 해외직접투자(OFDI) 수준을 높이는 것이 필요해 보인다. 즉, 무역의 이익과 투자의 이익을 동시에 추구하여 1인당 GDP 수준을 높여나가는 것이 중요한 것으로 분석되었다.

The study of environmental pollution plays an important role in controlling emissions in the production activities of FDI enterprises as well as export goods. Vietnam is a country with a large proportion of FDI contribution and high export value. Therefore, there should be studies to assess the actual effects of FDI and the openness of the economy (trade) on the environment. Therefore, the authors conduct research on the role of FDI and trade on environmental quality in Vietnam. With data collected from 1990 to 2018 (from the period of Vietnam's economy opening up) through the ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) model, the results show that FDI has a positive impact on CO2 emissions in the short term but has no impact on the long-term (In this study, CO2 is considered to represent environmental quality). The trade has a positive impact on CO2 emissions in both the short term and long term. The results of the study show the actual shortcomings of FDI as well as production activities in the export enterprises in Vietnam. From the results of this research, the author also provides the causes and remedies to control of CO2 emissions from two activities of foreign direct investment and trade.

This study presents the pattern and determinants of intra-industry trade in Korea's machinery and transport equipment industry focusing the influence of foreign direct investment on intra-industry trade. Using an OLS regression model the determinants of intra-industry trade are investigated. Results indicate that a statistically significant negative relationship is found between intra-industry trade and foreign direct investment, and show that intra-industry trade is positively affected by the degree of product differentiation and export structure similarity. Intra-industry trade is also positively associated with the economies of scale, the level of trade barrier, and transportation costs, although this is not statistically significant. The study found strong evidence that the propensity of foreign direct investment toward export specialized industry makes the negative relationship between intra-industry trade and foreign direct investment.

Purpose - In this paper, we provide recommendations for Korea's long-term direction and strategic measures to attract inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in response to Japan's export regulations. In doing so, we analyze the current situation and characteristics of trade between Korea and Japan, focusing on the parts and materials industry, which is particularly affected by Japan's trade regulations. Design/methodology - Based on the analysis of five successful inward FDI cases (e.g. Toray, IGK, Delkor, GlobalWafers, DuPont) and statistic trend review in the parts and materials industry, we consider various factors pertaining to successful inward FDI in Korea and propose valuable investment attraction strategies. Findings - For a successful investment attraction strategy, we studied some statistical trends in the internal and external environments of the parts and materials industry and successful investment attraction cases in Korea. We have found that in order to increase the probability of success in attracting investment, we need a mid-to long-term strategy considering multiple factors such as "Production-oriented, Demand-linked, Global Value Chain (VGC) linked, and Policy-linked investment attraction." Originality/value - We suggest several specific measures and important strategic implications for the Korean government and firm's managers to attract inward FDI successfully.

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.

In recent years, Chinese firms have explosively increased outward foreign direct investment (oFDI). While state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are still dominant in Chinese oFDI, privately-owned enterprises (POEs) are also accelerating their internationalization. These two types of Chinese firms differ in their behavior regarding oFDI. The objective of this paper is to analyze the differences in the choice of oFDI locations between Chinese SOEs and POEs by considering host country factors. By integrating the literature on Chinese firms' oFDI and on FDI locations, we developed six hypotheses concerning how host country factors affect their choice of location. We tested our hypotheses by conducting multiple regression analysis with recent secondary data on 413 Chinese MNEs in 88 countries between 2005 and 2016. The results of the test show that in selecting oFDI locations, Chinese SOEs invest relatively more in countries with richer natural resources, more abundant strategic assets, less production efficiency, higher political risk, and lower institutional quality compared with Chinese POEs. It is our hope that the empirical results of this paper will contribute to research on Chinese oFDI.

This paper reconsiders the empirical evidence of the relationship between tax treaties and FDI using U.S. outbound FDI to 78 countries over the period of 2007-2018. Unlike previous studies, we explicitly consider differences in the tax environments of recipient economies, including their tax-haven status, transfer pricing rules, CFC rules and anti-avoidance regulations, in our estimations. Our results confirm the importance of controlling for country-specific tax environments, especially the tax-haven status and transfer pricing rules. We find that tax treaties positively contribute to FDI inflows in developing countries, while they have no statistically significant impacts on OECD countries. Recently signed tax treaties still foster FDI but less than older ones do. Finally, our results indicate, all other things being equal, that the weaker the transfer pricing regulations, the greater the amount of U.S. direct investment into a non-OECD economy.

2007년부터 2012년까지의 외국인직접투자 유치액에 대한 산업별 투자유치 인센티브인 재정지원액을 중심으로 정책집행에 따른 정책의 시차효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 우리나라의 외국인직접투자유치정책의 시차효과는 정책집행 후 2~3년 정도의 시차가 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 우리나라의 외국인직접투자 유치정책의 방향은 조세감면제도 보다는 직접보조금 혹은 재정지원(금융)과 같은 현실적인 정책수단을 강화해야 할 것이다.
