报告简介
This study investigates therelationship between export similarity and bilateral foreign direct investment (FDI) between Japan and host countries, in particular, how FDI influences domestic exports. The empirical analysis is conducted using a panel data set of 70 countries based on Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) 4 - and 5-digit products.
The results suggest, firstly, that outward FDI increases the export similarity between host and source countries, whereas inward FDI to Japan shows no evidence in improving export similarity.
Secondly, bilateral FDI promotes similarity in manufactured exports, but to a lesser extent in primary sector exports.
Thirdly, geographic distances, bilateral trade and differences in per capita income appear to have significant effects on the pattern of exports. The flowing of FDI make countries more similar.
