Abstract
This paper studies the determinants of Japanese direct investment worldwide and in different country groups. We derive our research hypotheses from the Knowledge-Capital Model and test them empirically using the PPML model and statistical data for 179 target countries between 1995 and 2019. We examine the role of a host’s institutional quality in affecting the cost of FDI. We show that institutional quality matters in attracting Japanese FDI for developed, developing, and transitioning economies. We find the effect of institutional quality to be more pronounced in the latter group of countries, especially concerning industries characterized by high asset-specificity.
期刊介绍：
The increase in Japan share of international trade and financial transactions has had a major impact on the world economy in general and on the U.S. economy in particular. The new economic interdependence between Japan and its trading partners created a variety of problems and so raised many issues that require further study. Japan and the World Economy will publish original research in economics, finance, managerial sciences, and marketing that express these concerns.
